About
The Grand Palace is Bangkok’s most iconic landmark, with gleaming golden spires and intricately detailed murals. Built in 1782, it was the royal residence for generations and remains a symbol of Thailand’s monarchy. Visitors can explore majestic halls, serene courtyards, and the revered Emerald Buddha. Early morning visits offer a more peaceful experience before the crowds arrive, while late afternoons provide softer light for photography.
