Phadet Datsakon Fort - Phra Nakhon

Ancient fort positioned in one of the main corners of the protective walls surrounding the entire royal palace of Bangkok. The conservation and care is so meticulous that it seems to have been recently built, so bright is the white of the painting. The position allows you to admire it even from a certain distance in the complex of the walls; really nice.

It is very suitable for taking pictures and there is not a single piece of garbage. If there is any, please help to keep it clean as well.
