This is one of two “gaurds” that are at the entranceway to the Emerald Buddha building.

This is not the emerald buddha, but just a buddha on one of the corners of the building.

The detail on the building is fantastic.

If you don’t know about Rambutans, you should. These fruit look spikey or furry on the outside, but when you crack them open it’s like a large white grape with a core like a plum. They are really tasty. I first tried them in Sri Lanka, apparently they aren’t in season all that often.

Throughout the streets of Bangkok little stands are set up that sell tickets for the Thai lottery.
