You made a good choice going to the floating market instead of the Grand Palace. It opens only a few days of the week (Friday and weekend I think). So most people don't get to visit if they don't happen to be in the right time.
Coincidentally, I just posted about the temple inside of the Grand Palace https://steemit.com/travel/@jackchalat/the-most-touristy-spot-of-bangkok-temple-of-the-emerald-buddha
thanks for that, I really wasn't sure about the schedule of the Grand Palace opening times, I just assumed it was open during the day. Really stunning photography in your post, thanks!
Thank you for the upvote!
