Nestled in the heart of Bangkok, the Grand Palace is a mesmerizing architectural masterpiece. Explore the sprawling abode of the royal family, and take in the brilliant statues, captivating imagery, rich history, and breathtaking display of Thai grandeur.

Visit one of the temples located within the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), which houses one of the country’s most sacred and revered statues. Take in the vivid murals and striking details before taking a tuk-tuk to the pier and boarding a ferry to cross the river.
