Grand Palace (The)

Na Phra Lan Road, Ko Rattanakosin District, Bangkok, Thailand
Tel: +66 02 694 1222 (Tourism Authority of Thailand) Web: Visit this site »
 

The spectacular Grand Palace is an architectural marvel and the gem of Bangkok's impressive collection of temples and palaces. Although the Royal Family no longer resides here, the Palace is still used for ceremonial purposes, and most of it remains closed to the public. However, the four main buildings are incorporated in the grounds of the glittering Wat Phra Keo and must be visited to experience their brilliant, diverse styles. Appropriate dress code required (cover shoulders and legs). Admission: THB250, includes entry to Vimanmek Palace and Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall. The grounds close at 4:30p.
