  • The most popular tourist attraction in the whole of Thailand. The Grand Palace is a stunningly beautiful royal complex in the heart of Bangkok.
    The architecture of the Grand Palace is magnificent and iconic, with over
    100 buildings within the 94.5-hectare grounds. The construction of the complex was completed in 1785.
    If you are going to visit the palace I suggest that you head there early in the morning. Taking a river boat to Tha Chang Pier is a quick and cheap way to get there. The palace is only a few minutes walk from the pier.
    The nearest MRT (metro train) station is Sanam Chai which is a 15-20 min walk.
    There are plenty of places nearby to grab a bite to eat nearby, plus many shops and street vendors selling souvenirs.
    Located near to the Palace is the Golden Reclining Buddha at Wat Phra Chetuphon (Wat Pho). I really recommend that you visit here.
    Another place to visit is Wat Arun which is a short 5 minute ferry ride across the river. It is popular temple on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

    Bangkok's Grand Palace was built in the style of Ayutthaya Grand Palace with a royal temple inside reserved only for the King and relatives to hold Buddhist ceremony. Since the temple is in the Grand Palace there is no monk living in the temple. It is only the functional temple in Thailand that has no monk resides in. Monks from temples nearby are usually invited when the King performs Buddhist ceremony. It is a tradition that any novice who passes the highest Pali Grade 9 language proficiency will be royally patronaged and ordained into monkhood in this Emerald Buddha temple. Pali is the language spoken during the Buddha's era. Buddhist Dharma was originally transmitted by Pali oral tradition (still practiced even today when monks cite Pali sutra every morning and evening) but later transcribed into Pali alphabets, similar to Sanskrit which is the main language of Hinduism. There is a nationwide exam conducted annually to assess Pali proficiency and few novices/monks pass Grade 9 language each year, normally fewer than 10. So you can imagine how hard it is.
    At the Grand Palace, you can see Garudas (mythical flying deity) grab Nagas (mythical serpent-like deity living underworld). They are sworn mortal enemies in Hindu and Buddhist legends. However, both are God Vishnu's mounts. When travelling, God Vishnu mounts on Garuda. When resting in the sea, God Vishnu lays on bed transformed from Naga's body. Garuda is a sacred deity in Thailand and Indonesia. Thus Indonesia National Airlines is "Garuda" while Thailand's official emblem is Garuda which is affixed in front of official paper and shown on Royal Announcements on Thai TVs. Naga is sacred deity in Thailand and Laos as protector of the Lord Buddha. Temples in the Thailand's North and Laos often feature 2 Nagas at the front leading the steps into the temple. Standalone Naga is featured prominently along Mekong River on both sides of Thailand and Laos as well.
    Here is the full name of Bangkok.
    Krungthep Mahanakorn Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintra Yuttaya Mahadilokpop Noparat Burirom Udom Rachnivet Mahasathan Amornpimarn Avartarnsathit Sakkatiya Witsanukamprasit
    Here is my rough translation. Krungthep the motropolis, the royal capital of Ratanakosin dynasty following Ayutthaya dynasty, a grand palace resided by God King.

      You forget about the copy style from cambodian architecture. It's really good for thailand to help preserve our cambodian culture and art in your country. Appreciate the afford from thailand.
