Review & FAQ:

The Grand Palace is located in the center of Bangkok, Thailand. It originally served as the royal residence of the Rattanakosin Kingdom housing kings from five generations. Kings and other high-ranking members of the royal family were brought here before they were cremated. Today, the palace is used for receiving foreign dignitaries and state guests, as well as the King’s personal guests. Royal ceremonies are also held here. Visitors can tour the palace, which has two distinctive sections, the royal residence and Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The former is separated into three distinct areas – the Inner, Middle, and Outer Courts.
