Thailand Essentials

This collection spans Thailand's cultural landscape, from the 18th-century Grand Palace and the massive reclining Buddha at Wat Pho to the Khmer-style ruins of Ayutthaya's Wat Chaiwatthanaram. It highlights unique commerce at the Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors retract awnings for passing trains, and the sprawling 15,000-stall Chatuchak Market. Architectural landmarks include the Lanna-style Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep in the north, the intricate wood carvings of Pattaya’s Sanctuary of Truth, and the porcelain-encrusted prang of Wat Arun along the Chao Phraya River.
