What you can expect

Join a guided tour of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the former home of the Thai King, the Royal court, and the administrative seat of government. Explore the 2 zones of the complex, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the royal residence. Follow your guide through the outer, middle, and inner courts.
Pass by several state offices such as the Bureau of the Royal Household, the Office of His Majesty's Principal Private Secretary, and the Office of the Royal Institute. Discover the Middle Court starting from Phiman Chai Si Gate to Sanam Ratchakit Gate.
Learn how since the founding of Bangkok as the nation's capital by King Rama I, The Grand Palace has been the major architectural symbol of the Thai Royal Family. Today, the palace hosts royal ceremonies and welcomes the king's guests, State guests, and other foreign dignitaries.
Head to the Middle Court area to see the Phra Maha Monthien Buildings, the Chakri Maha Prasat Buildings, the Phra Maha Prasat Buildings, and the Siwalai Gardens Quarter. See the Inner Court from Sanam Ratchakit Gate to Thaew Teng, which formerly served as palace walls during the reign of King Rama I.
Visit Wat Phra Kaew, a sacred temple that enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), the highly revered Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of jade. Soak in the peaceful ambiance of the spiritual core of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy.
Then, enter a female-only zone in the southern area of the Inner Court where no man except for the king was allowed to get in, where the queens, consorts, consort mothers, and daughters of the king lived together with many ladies-in-waiting and servants.
Inside the Grand Palace, find the Pavilion of Regalia, Royal Decorations and Coins to see Thai coins and regalia on display.
