Grand Palace

This should be the top historical tourist destination you visit while in Bangkok. The royal compound lives up to its name, with magnificent buildings that would put the most decadent modern monarchs to shame.

The grand palace, which was constructed in 1782 and continues to be used for significant ceremonies and hosting heads of state, served as the royal residence for several generations. When visiting the Grand Palace, you should dress modestly, which means basically covering your arms and legs and avoiding any loose clothing. Take the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew Tour to avoid any hassles and to get the most out of your trip. This is a morning or afternoon half-day sightseeing tour that includes transportation from your hotel and a local guide to explain the significance of the sights you see. Without a guide, it's easier to overlook significant things or not understand the significance of what you are seeing, and the hotel pickup simplifies the entire experience.
