The two most popular tourist attractions in Bangkok are the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) and the Grand Palace. They are next to each other, and one ticket gets you into both places.
The Grand Palace is made up of several very impressive halls, which have all played a role in Thai history. The Amarinda Hall is still used today for special occasions and houses the antique throne. The Grand Palace Hall is where the present king’s elder brother was found shot dead in 1946; it has not been used as a royal residence since. The King doesn’t live in the palace. His home is just a block or so away.
The usual way to visit these two incredible sights is with a city tour. However, you can make your own way here. If you do that, come first thing in the morning; the complex opens at 8:30am, and it will be less crowded and a little cooler. The entrance fee is 200 Baht and, should you make the error of arriving inappropriately clad – sleeveless tops and shorts are not acceptable – more appropriate clothing can be borrowed at the entrance gates.
