On our final full day in Bangkok we took a river taxi, visited a market that had even fewer health restrictions than the markets in Spain, and went to the Vimanmek Palace, built in 1900 by King Rama V, and it's grounds. The buildings on the grounds of the Vimanmek Palace were small museums filled with clocks, textiles, crafts, etc., that had been given to, or made by the Thais. However, photography was not allowed in any of the buildings. We were actually required to place our cameras and other belongings in a locker and take off our shoes before entering any of the buildings.

| There were many buckets full of live swimming things. |
 |
| Dried and salted fish. |
 |
| I am pretty sure that is a pile of tongues. |
 |
| Live catfish anyone? |
 |
Check out the mounds of spicy peppers!
The Thais like their food hot. |

Vimanmek Palace. It was built with no metal.
(There are no nails holding any of it together) |
