What You Can Expect from Bangkok’s Grand Palace Complex and Wat Phra Kaew Walking Tour

Meet your English-speaking guide at the meeting point. Start the journey by walking 6 minutes from the meeting point to the Grand Palace. Along the way, pass by the amulet market, one of the most famous, historical community markets of Rattanakosin Island.

The first stop Wat Phra Kaew which is commonly known in English as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and officially as Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram. It is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. Admire the brightly colored buildings, golden spires, and glittering mosaics. It is so richly and intricately decorated that, once entering the temple, you will feel as if you are in a real “city of angels”. Be in awe at the great image of Buddha in the meditating position and carved from single jade stone.

After that explore the Grand Palace which was the official residence of the Kings of Thailand. Nowadays, the Grand Palace is still used for official events. Several royal ceremonies and state functions are held within the walls of the palace every year. See More Bangkok Tour.
