By the time I reached Grand Palace พระบรมมหาราชวัง or Phra Borom Maha Ratcha Wang, there were hundreds of visitors! I paid 350 THB for the entrance ticket. That was really expensive. Later, I discovered it was a 3 in 1 package. Basically, I got myself three separate tickets. 1st ticket - Entrance to Grand Palace พระบรมมหาราชวัง & Temple of Emerald... more

Spent a leisurely morning walking around the Palace and its grounds. Most guidebooks list this as the number 1 thing to see in Bangkok and as far as palaces and temples go it was definitely worth a visit. It cost about 350 baht to get in and there was not a major queue as we went first thing in the... more

There are lots of different companies offering this... more

We were in Bangkok at the beginning of the Lent period. It was so great to see the entire country was off for 3 days. All temples, some closed usually were opened for prayers . It was great to see how the temple was being cleaned, looked after, buidling and restoration work. We witnessed the locals praying, blessings being given... more

We visited the Grand Palace when staying in Bangkok in April. We took the skytrain to Saphin Taskin station by the river then the local river ferry upriver to the stop for the Grand Palace.
