A ‘properly dresses’ apparently.
All worthwhile though: Grand Palace of Bangkok:
Anti-capitalism warning…they might rise up against you, apparently.
Tales from the Ramayana, Thai Buddhist style. Renovation in progress.
Incredible details

Time to head to Wat Pho to see the enormous Reclining Buddha:
