King's Palace at Bangkok

The royal palace had a very big wall all the way around it. Along the wall were several very big doors. I knocked on one door, but they didn't open it. Inside there were many glittering buildings and gardens. We were there for the king's birthday, but he wasn't at the palace. We saw him on TV. I had my photo taken with a palace guard. He helped us to cross the road by blowing his whistle at the traffic. Lots of people wore yellow t-shirts on the king's birthday because it is his favourite colour.
