The
Royal Palace now houses the National Museum. The tour of the 'palace' is
very interesting as it's royal quarters are just as they were that
day in 1975 when the King and Queen left to go into exile.
One evening we
attended a performance of the Royal Ballet, I must say it was executed
with more enthusiasm than talent or classical training.
Be
sure to visit the weaving project and stores of Ock Pop Tok (East meets
West) They pay their staff a fair wage so their products are more
expensive than most but they are lovely and they are beginning to evolve
more creative designs and colours as well as the strictly traditional
patterns handed down from mother to daughter.
These costumes
are not from Ock Pop Tok, they just caught my eye.
