Bangkok Grand Palace

Step into the former royal residence of the Kings of Siam, home to the sacred Emerald Buddha, dazzling gilded chedis, and intricately painted murals spanning centuries of Thai history. Wander the manicured courtyards where royal ceremonies once took place, and marvel at architecture that blends Thai, Khmer, and European influences. Modest dress is required to enter the temple grounds, so bring a scarf or light jacket for bare shoulders and legs. Our air-conditioned VanService (private van transfer) picks you up directly from your hotel, so you skip the queues for public transport and arrive rested and on time. Pair this half-day visit with nearby Wat Pho for a full morning of Bangkok's royal heritage.
