Other≈ 1 h 30 min

The Grand Palace is an immense royal compound laden with grandeur, history, and opulence. If you’re looking for big landmarks, it’s one of the best things to do in Bangkok, and I’ve got a whole story about how to visit the Grand Palace. At the heart of this huge complex of architectural brilliance lies Wat Phra Kaew, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the most significant in all of Thailand. At a distance of 34 km from Suvarnabhumi Airport, the Grand Palace is a complex of buildings situated at the heart of Bangkok in Thailand. It is one of top places to visit in Bangkok and is a must include place in Bangkok Tour Packages. The construction of the Grand Palace was started in 1782 by King Rama I when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Rattanakosin Island.
