The last place we see after 30 minutes walking is Phra Thinag Sutthai Sawanyaprasat, still in Sanam Chai street. This building is one of the oldest constructions in Grand Palace area since it was built by King Rama I in 1784. The image of the building that you see now is the result of last renovation done by King Rama IV in 1853. This is important place both for king and Thai people because it is used as the place of the king to give public speech (from the balcony) to the people during special ceremony including speech after royal wedding. It is  interesting for walker when pass it because it is the only building as the part of Grand Palace that you can obviously see from outside; not like other parts of Grand Palace that you have to pay before entering and seeing them. The style is typically traditional with shiny roof. You can also see the image of garuda bird (symbol of Thai Kingdom) under the balcony.
Well, are you sweating now? after little 30 minutes of walking. Walking can be interesting activity to do in Thailand when you want to save the money more during travelling. Bangkok can refresh your eyes with unique buildings and spots that you do not necessarily pay for it. You can save money and use it for another experience: culinary for example. At the end, I just want to say happy travelling in Thailand with a little 30 minutes walk in centre of Bangkok.
