Welcome to the heart of Bangkok! The Grand Palace is a breathtaking complex of stunning architecture that you simply have to see to believe. For 150 years, it was home to the Thai King and the entire government. Be sure to visit Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which is considered the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. The entire complex is quite large, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a bit of walking to take in all the intricate details and golden spires.
