    I went there to participate in hosting the Royal Funeral of the late and beloved Her Majesty Queen Sirikit (Queen Mom) with colleagues from the company. The throne hall was undoubtedly gorgeous and so gloriously decorated. We all respect our Queen Mom and remember all of her tireless endeavor and contribution to this country. We all pray for her soul to rest in peace. This review is in remembrance of Queen Mom.

    🏰 Chakri Maha Prasat & Dusit Maha Prasat these two stunning buildings stopped me in my tracks. I was so impressed, I even looked up their names: Chakri Maha Prasat and Dusit Maha Prasat. Turns out, buildings with tall central spires on their roofs like these are called "Prasat" in Thai architecture 🇹🇭 These two were by far the most memorable structures I saw inside the Grand Palace. Especially Chakri Maha Prasat, which blends a Western-style base with a Thai-style roof — it felt like a cultural fusion masterpiece. Like the architectural version of bulgogi pizza 😄 As someone who loves European architecture, this hit all my sweet spots. elegant, unexpected, and uniquely Thai.
