    Must-see!

    This place is pretty! It gets very busy and tons of Thais are there to pay respect to the beloved king who passed away in October 2016. We got a tour guide and she was a must! Otherwise, we would be looking at things without...More

    The grand palace and surrounding buildings were beautiful and at a very reasonable price. However, we were warned to go in the late afternoon in order to avoid crowds but even then it seemed the area was too busy and may have somewhat ruined the...More

    Lovely palace busy hoards of people

    Beautiful

    The Grand Palace is very large and very crowded. Go early so you can walk around to try to avoid some of the craziness. Worth the trip anytime though.

    Different kind of experience!

    The place was huge! I didn't manage to go to the main palace as it was closed for an event or something. Wasn't too sure about this but this place is a must go if you have the time! A nice spot for photo taking...More

    Thai royalty did know how to build grandiose palaces. It is a very huge complex and you cannot go in all of the buildings. We couldn't find a way to get into any of the buildings and were exhausted from seeing the Emerald Buddha temple....More

    While you’ll see skyscrapers in most parts of Bangkok,
    it’s the gilded roofs of ancient pagodas that adorn
    the skyline of Banglamphu, the city’s historical and
    most touristic district. Hordes of tourists flock to
    this area to tick quite a few must-see attractions off
    their to-do list, with the Grand Palace being the most
    spectacular of them all. Banglamphu is also home to
    Bangkok’s infamous tourist ghetto, centered around

    You will be able to take photos of the Grand Palace but when going inside where the Emerald Buddha is, no photos allowed there. You can go Wat Pho for a fee and take photos of the Reclining Buddha, well worth the visit.
