It was built in 1782, and it houses not only the royal residence and throne halls, but also a number of government offices and the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It covers an area of 218,000 square meter and it's surrounded by 1900 meter wall length. You will be bewildered by the huge statues, decorted doors, golden domes, Bonzai trees, temples, Budha statues. When you visit the Palace you should be wearing decent clothes.

I enjoyed the palace, but it was very crowded when I visited (early afternoon). I think that an early morning visit may have been better. I would opine that this is a "must-see" if in Bangkok. I would allocate at least 3 hours for a good visit. Photography opportunities are almost limitless. Watch out for the touts outside the gates. It was beautiful. Good journeys!

Very beautiful palace and surrounds but in the Thai temperatures it can get very hot walking around so be warned wear a hat and plenty of sunscreen. Be wary of the trishaw drivers on the outside who offer to take you somewhere via 'their uncle's shop' or somewhere else to spend your money!! Visit Wat Phra Kaew , temple which is where the Emerald Buddha can be found. It is quite small and wears different clothes depending on the season There is something ornate and fascinating around every corner. Inside the

You must visit it

Who love arts and artchitectures will love this place. It's really big and amazing! There's a Budha statue made from Jade and had a clothes to wear and changed 3 times a year. The clothes made from gold! And about the palace, We cannot enter because it is the private place for king and at the gate of King's Palace, some "soldier" like Royal British Cavalry standing up with their weapons and we can ask them for some photos!
