An authentic and highly realistic plate of Pad Thai, prepared in a street food stall. The dish includes stir-fried rice noodles, shrimp, bean sprouts, eggs, tofu, and peanuts, garnished with fresh lime wedges, cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. The scene captures the vibrant, bustling atmosphere of a street food market, with colorful ingredients and cooking utensils in the background. The plate is on a rustic wooden table, with typical chopsticks beside it and a small dish of extra lime wedges and chili flakes on the side.

View of Wat Phra Kaew, home of the Emerald Buddha, in Bangkok. The photo hints at the facade of the palace, with a wall of a bright purple, in front of which stand some beautiful golden columns. The roof is triangular in shape with a red color, and behind the roof a wonder is barely visible. On the stairs of the palace and in front of it, there are many tourists admiring its beauty, some of whom are also taking pictures.
