Ramakien murals at Wat Phra Kaeo, Grand Palace, Bangkok

The intricate murals of the amazing Thai version of the great Indian epic Ramayana are found on the inner walls of the Wat Phra Kaeo compound of the Grand Palace in Bangkok.  The murals, together with the exquisite ensemble of art and architecture within the complex, should be declared world heritage!
