Grand Palace
Grand Palace built in 1782 and for 150 years the home of the Thai King, the Royal court and the administrative seat of government.
The major attraction of the Outer Court is the Temple of Emerald Buddha, the residence of Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist sculpture: Phra Kaeo Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), which was carved from flawless green jade, situated amid gold-gilded sculptures and ornaments, and fresco paintings of the main ordination hall.
The Grand Palace is divided into three main zones: The Outer Court, home to royal offices, public buildings and the Temple of Emerald Buddha; the Middle Court, which is where the most important residential and state buildings are; and the Inner Court, which is exclusively reserved for the king, his queen and his consorts.
Visitors are required to dress appropriately.
King Prajadhipok Museum
The King Prajadhipok Museum is in Pom Prap Sattru Phai district in the middle of downtown Bangkok, so easy to get to by taxi.
It is located in a gorgeous Thai mansion, and features three floors of Thai history, but is especially interesting for the personal belongings of King Prajadhipok and the history of the king from his birth until his abdication in 1935.
The museum is free of charge, which is not always usual for Thai museums where non-Thais are often charged much more than Thais.
