Located in the heart of Bangkok, The Grand Palace is a stunning complex of royal buildings and temples that has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam since 1782.

One of the highlights of The Grand Palace is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, also known as Wat Phra Kaew. This temple is home to the highly revered Emerald Buddha, a small statue made of green jade that is considered one of the most sacred objects in Thailand. The temple is adorned with gold leaf and intricate carvings, and visitors are required to dress modestly and remove their shoes before entering.

Another must-see building in The Grand Palace complex is the Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall, which was built in 1882 and is now used for ceremonial occasions and state receptions. The throne hall is an impressive sight, with its grand staircase, ornate columns, and distinctive Thai-style roof.
