The Grand Palace

$LocalClosed

Bangkok’s most iconic temple complex—gold, scale, spectacle.

Go early, hydrate, and treat this like a “big ticket” cultural anchor. Dress modestly (covered shoulders/knees) and expect crowds and sun. Pair it with nearby Wat Pho and a riverside lunch to make the travel time worth it.
