First Day In Thailand

On our first day in Thailand we visited the Grand Palace and learned about the Royal Family. Thailand is a wealthier country than I expected. Almost everything at the Royal Palace is covered in gold. Gold/Yellow are the colors of the King. The Thia people are very proud of their king and believe that he loves his people. We quickly bonded over our first lunch at the Navy Club. We were served family style and had the two men in the group try each dish first. I learned that I can eat a fish with the head and tail and fins right on it. Some people ate huge river prawns and other types of sea food I have never seen before. In the evening we enjoyed a Thia music and dance performance. The costumes are very beautiful. We have also learned that the monsoon season came early so we have experienced some incredible storms.
