At the Grand Palace shown in the video, you can see Garudas (mythical flying deity) grab Nagas (mythical serpent-like deity living underworld). They are sworn mortal enemies in Hindu and Buddhist legends. However, both are God Vishnu's mounts. When travelling, God Vishnu mounts on Garuda. When resting in the sea, God Vishnu lays on bed transformed from Naga's body. Garuda is a sacred deity in Thailand and Indonesia. Thus Indonesia National Airlines is "Garuda" while Thailand's official emblem is Garuda which is affixed in front of official paper and shown on Royal Announcements on Thai TVs. Naga is sacred deity in Thailand and Laos as protector of the Lord Buddha. Temples in the Thailand's North and Laos often feature 2 Nagas at the front leading the steps into the temple. Standalone Naga is featured prominently along Mekong River on both sides of Thailand and Laos as well.
Thank you for sharing this, Kamol. Really interesting and didn’t even know about them so couldn’t notice it. Will keep an eye out for it in the future, thank you for sharing :)
Welcome.
Thank you!!
I moved to Hua Hin, Thailand, recommended by my Italian friend. It's great, the cost of living is cheap and the nature is beautiful.😍😍🍻🍻👍👍
Would love to still go back to Hua Him and explore it properly.🥹
I’m glad you enjoy living there and made the right choice, the beaches look great! 🏖️
@@KinfolkTravels Thanks 😍😍🍻🍻👍👍
Do you prefer old or new Bangkok?
