Our private guide, Ms. Anna likes this jolly Chinese warrior, guarding a door in Grand Palace because of his friendly smile. He keeps evil spirits out.

These Stone figures are presents of the Chinese King to Rama III, who did a lot of trading with China. Actually those figures were used as ballast in the ships.

We do not know at which time he lost his weapon, but then, maybe one does not need a weapon to fight evil spirits. -smile-

Write to us, if you want our guides to show you the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun.
