On a sweltering 45C afternoon in Bangkok we visited the Grand Palace complex, once the official home of the King of Siam. The grounds and temple buildings are astonishingly beautiful. Yet juxtaposed onto this magnificence was the scene below.
What captured my eye was the number of differing emotions on display. From the look of pride on the face of the groups leader, to that of concentration on a more seasoned cadet. Not least of all, the awkward stance of a young cadet with his machine gun tossed over his left shoulder.
