The Grand Palace is a complex of buildings in Bangkok, Thailand. It served as the official residence of the king of Thailand from the 18th century to the mid-20th century. After the death of King Ananda Mahidol in the Grand Palace, King Bhumibol moved the official royal residence to Chitralada Palace. Construction of the palace complex began in 1782, during the reign of Rama I. The palace complex sits on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River. The other approaches to the palace are protected by a defensive wall of 1,900 metres in length, which encloses an area of 218,400 square metres. Further out from the wall is a canal, which was also created for defensive purposes, making the area surrounding the palace an island, known as Rattanakosin. Far east tourist landmark.

I can’t believe that I missed your point, I will have to do some research on this….
Could you please translate your website into German because I’m not that decent reading it in English? I’m getting bored of using Google Translate all the time, there is a little WP plugin called like global translator which will render all your articles by default- that would make reading posts on your great webpage even more pleasant. Cheers dude, Roxanna Hennagin!
