The Summer Palace

We joined a tour bus this morning at about 6am and assembled a few more people from other hotels before we embarked on a long drive outside of Bangkok to the site of the Kings’ summer palace. This palace wa built for the 9th Rama and held his residence in the center and the houses of all his concubines around the perimeter. This King fathered over 130 children from 23 wives and 70 concubines.

This guy rarely slept alone and not a single gal was jealous. He was rumored to be good in the sack but suffered from bad breath. No wonder they weren't fighting over him. it was all they could do to bear him. Seriously though, the concubines were only banned by the present King however all those before him enjoyed their polygamous habits
