The Grand Palace
Built in 1782 by King Rama I, the Grand Palace is where
you can see an interesting mix of European and Thai architecture
in the one compound. Together with the royal chapel or Wat Phra
Kaeo, the Palace is one of the must see places in Bangkok. Remember
to take a hat and dress appropriately for one of Thailand's most
revered and sacred location. The complex is open daily from 8.30
a.m. to 3.30 p.m, except for ceremonial days.

late Ayutthayan period (1350-1767) gold-leaf murals. It is open
Monday through Saturday from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Admission is
50 baht.
