I am sad to report that I really didn't take in as much of my private tour this day as, even in business class, I didn't get enough sleep the night before.
My private guide was charming, knowledgeable and passionate about her heritage and explained the history and purpose of all the many individual buildings within the Grand Palace enclosure.
Hopefully the guidebooks I brought home will help jog my memory.
After a month of UK temperatures I found Thailand too hot and muggy even though it was probably about the same as Brissie today. Being ratshit tired didn't help.
Claire Biddle Welcome home darling, can't wait to hear all about it Will have a dinner here soon X
