Bangkok Things to Do
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Grand Palace / Wat Phra Kaew: Grand Palace
  • Tip Rating:
  • Thailand's majestic Grand Palace sits high above the city of Bangkok. Constructed in the 18th century during the reign of King Rama I, the palace is an outstanding example of the blending of classic Thai architecture with more modern Western styles. Although the Grand Palace has not been used as a royal residence for many years, it still serves as a site for important events, including royal coronations. Visitors who venture inside the Temple of the Emerald Buddha or who tour the model Angkor Wat are guaranteed a spiritual experience.
