The Bangkok Grand Palace is Thailand’s most iconic landmark, known for its stunning architecture and sacred temples. This travel guide covers tickets, dress code, timings, and everything you need to know before your visit.

About the Bangkok Grand Palace

On the second day of our Bangkok adventure, we immersed ourselves in the city’s rich cultural tapestry, starting with a visit to the Grand Palace. Established in 1782, this expansive complex not only served as the royal residence but also housed government offices and the revered Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Spanning 218,000 square meters and encircled by walls stretching 1,900 meters, the palace stands as a testament to Thailand’s architectural grandeur. Originally, the royal seat was in Thonburi, on the Chao Phraya River’s west bank. However, King Rama I, upon ascending the throne, deemed it unsuitable and commissioned the construction of this new capital on the river’s opposite side.
