One of the most famous landmarks in all of Thailand, The Grand Palace dates back to 1782 and is considered the spiritual heart of the Thai kingdom. The building itself has long fascinated architects, and the beautiful patterns resemble the style of the Ayutthaya era.
The Grand Palace houses Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which is one of the most sacred places of worship in Thailand. Visitors can explore the temple and the rest of the palace where Thai kings once resided, but it is now a place of state business. The exquisite details of the throne halls, the antiques on display, and the general style of the building and its interior will amaze visitors.
