Sebenernya di itinerary nggak ada acara ke tempat ini. Tapi karena satu arah dengan optional tour Chao Praya River dan semua peserta tour memang ingin pergi ke tempat ini, so akhirnya semua setuju untuk ambil additional optional tour Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew dengan biaya per orang Bath 500 kalau di rupiahin sekitar Rp 125.000,00. Untungnya semalem udah dikasih tahu Awee kalo sebaiknya kita pakai baju yang rapi dan sopan, karena kalo kita pakai celana pendek, rok mini, dan baju tanpa lengan udah pasti nggak boleh masuk. Grand palace adalah Istana Negara Thailand dan Wat Phra Kaew adalah kuil istana dimana Patung Buddha dari batu Zambrud dengan berbalut baju berbahan emas ada disana. (Wat artinya Kuil atau Temple). Menurut petugas di kuil tersebut, baju patung Buddha ini diganti setiap pergantian musim – panas, hujan, dan sejuk. Saking dianggap sucinya, maka yang mengganti pakaian Buddha ini hanya boleh dilakukan oleh sang Raja Thailand. Masyarakat Thailand sendiri percaya kalau patung ini bisa ngasih tanda bila akan terjadi bencana di Thailand. Sayang gue nggak sempet nanya kapan terakhir patung itu ngasih tanda dan bencana apa yang terjadi.
Actually in the itinerary there is no schedule to go to this place. But because of we will pas this place when we go to Chao Phraya River and also everybody want to go there so we agree to take this additional tour. We pay for Bath 500.00. In Rupiah is about Rp 125.000,00 or US$ 12.5 in US Dollar. When we go inside of this place, we have to wearing polite clothes. No short pan, no short skirt and not wearing open t-shirt. Lucky us, last night Awee inform us already. Grand Palace is a Palace of the King of Thailand and Wat Phra Kaew is a palace Temple where Emerald Buddha wearing clothes from gold put in there. (Wat means Temple). Regarding information from the temple staff the Emerald Buddha clothes will change in every season – dry season, rainy season, and cool season. Thailand people believe that the Emerald Buddha is holy. So the King of Thailand only who can change the Emerald Buddha clothes. They believe that this statu can give a sign when the calamity will come. Unfortunatelly I forget to ask when and what the last disaster came.
Seperti istana Negara di banyak Negara, sudah pasti tempat ini bagus banget. Mata kita benar-benar dimanjakan oleh bangunan-bangunannya yang unik dengan hiasan melengkung seperti rumah gadang dan stupa candi borobudur. Juga taman-taman dengan pohon-pohon yang berbentuk lucu-lucu dan cantik. Bangunan-bangunan istana ini didominasi warna emas yang melambangkan kejayaan kerajaan Thailand. Off course, belum lama ini gue baca di salah satu koran local di Indonesia bahwa Raja Thailand saat ini adalah orang terkaya di dunia ….. ffuuuiiihhh … mau juga gue jadi mantunya!!....he he he he ….. Sayangnya kita nggak bisa foto di dalam temple, karena Patung Zambrud Buddha ini dikeramatkan.
Like another Grand Palace in others country, this place very beautiful. Our eyes spoiled by unique building and beautiful garden with pretty style and architecture. The architecture of building very unique looks like the Gadang house in Padang – Sumatra Island in Indonesia combine with stupa like stupa of Borobudur Temple in Yogyakarta – Indonesia. Gold color dominated of all the building. It symbol of prosperity of The Kingdom of Thailand. Off course I just read a local news paper in Indonesia that the King of Thailand is the most riches people in the world on this time. Wow ….. I would like to be his doughter in low …he he he he he…. Unfortunatelly we couldn’t take a picture inside of the Temple due to they are highly sacred the Emerald Buddha.
O’ ya … kita hoki karena waktu kita ada di istana Negara, pas lagi ada upacara pergantian tentara yang bertugas di istana. So kita dapet chance tontonan gratis … he he he he he …
Ah..ya … We were lucky on that time there are ceremony to change the duty of the palace guards. So we watched it.
Third Scandal
Bukan Liza kalo nggak diteriakin petugas. Saking semangatnya photo, gue nggak mau kehilangan spot-spot bagus di Wat Phra Kaew. Sampai-sampai gue berusaha untuk naek manjat ke atas tembok. Yang ada belum kesampain nongkrong duduk manis di atas tembok, ada petugas teriak keras banget, than gue dimarahin dengan bahasa Thailand yang kagak gue ngerti. Dia pikir gue ini orang Thailand karena muka dan warna kulit gue nih menurut Awee, Thailand banget. Gue cuma bisa cengar cengir karena gue jadi ngetop banget saat itu, semua orang nonton gue dimarahin petugas. Maunya sih gue ngelambaiin tangan ke semua orang kayak artis lagi disambut fans-nya… he he he he … Akhirnya petugas itu tahu kalau gue bukan orang Thailand dan ngejelasin pakai bahasa Inggris kalau gue nggak boleh naik ke tembok. So gue minta maaf sama petugas itu J
It’s not Liza if somebody not screams to me. I was so exciting to take picture. I don’t wanna lose great spots at Wat Phra Kew so I climb to the wall. Suddently a security guard screams to me when I climb to the wall. He talks to me very angry in Thai Language. He thought that I am Thailand girl because my face and skin color very look like Thailand people. Our guide Awee also said like that. I just smiled sheephishly while everybody watching the security guard angry to me. Actually I wanna waved at them like an actris waved to my fans …. Ha ha ha ha ha …. Finally the security guard knows that I am not Thailand girl and explaint to me by English that I can’t climd the wall. So I am apologize to the security guard and promise to him will not happen anymore J Pffuuiih … I am so nerves.
Sementara David senyum-senyum aja ngeliatin gue dimarahin. Dia geli dan kesenengan gue dimarahin …. Sialan! Tapi satu hal yang bikin gue senyum waktu dia bilang, Its ok Liza. No worries. It’s a good experience for you. You will not forget this moment and will become excited story to tell to your friends J
Meanwhile the security guard angry to me, David only smiles watching from his place. He really enjoy with this insiden. … Bad guy!! But something which made me smiles when he said, its ok Liza. No worries. It’s a good experience for you. You will not forget this moment and will become excited story to tell to your friends J
