A couple walked side by side with umbrellas on the path in front of the wall of the Bangkok Royal Palace

After passing through Wat Phra Kaew, I found myself in the Royal Palace. Wat Phra Kaew is next to the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace is a large and majestic building. Basically, the buildings are built in the Western style, but only the roofs are Thai style. It is not a blend of Japanese and Western styles, but a blend of Thai and Western styles. Although this is usually referred to as the Royal Palace in Bangkok, in reality, the royal family no longer resides here. It is just a symbolic place for the royal family.

Passing through the palace grounds, I exit onto a public road. I walked along the walls surrounding the palace. If the buildings of the palace are symbolic, the wall, lined with spade-like objects, also seems to serve only as a symbol, and the wall is not high. It is only high enough to be climbed over at any time if one wanted to. It is not intended to seriously protect the royal palace. This is probably because even if the walls were built today, they could easily be breached from the sky. Nowadays, it seems that the only purpose of the wall is to serve as a pure white backdrop for the couple walking along the white wall.
