waiting out a lightning storm near the grand palace

flowers like these provide blessings and safety

i was pretty unlucky with my Kau Chim fortune draw, but luckily you can burn any fortunes you don’t want to come true

we stuck gold leaflets to the buddha to heal our bodies

the details put into every inch of the grand palace were incredible

taking a longboat to an orchid farm
