It IS cool, Kevin. Many of the buildings and statues have gold and mirrors on them. It's impossible to take good pictures of them because they are so big!
Here are some other pictures and some more information. One of the buildings even has an Emerald Buddah! He's cool, but you can't take pictures of him.

Here's some interesting information about the King, who lives at the palace (at least some of the time.)
