The Grand Palace

The Grand Palace is one of the must see sites of Thailand. This complex is one of the most famous landmarks of the country and offers spectacular buildings and sacred sites. The palace is divided into two main zones, which are the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the royal residence. The latter is divided into three major areas: the Outer Court, the Middle Court, and the Inner Court. The Outer Court starts from Wiset Chai Si Gate to Phiman Chai Si Gate and includes the inner walls of the Grand Palace.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

The Wat Phra Kaew, also known as “the temple of the Emerald Buddha” located within the grounds of the Grand Palace in Bangkok is Thailand’s most sacred temple and an important pilgrimage site for Thai Buddhists. The temple enshrines Thailand’s most highly revered Buddha image, the Emerald Buddha. The image is housed in the ubosot (ordination hall), a very ornate building constructed during the second half of the 18th century after King Rama I had established Bangkok as the new capital of Siam. The walls of the Rattanakosin style building are adorned with murals. A copy of the Emerald Buddha is enshrined in the Wat Phra Kaew in Chiang Rai, where the image resurfaced in the 15th century.

Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)

Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng, is a landmark temple on the west (Thonburi) bank of the Chao Phraya river. One of Bangkok’s most famous landmarks and known from many postcards, Wat Arun is best known for its massive prang, a tower on the Chao Phra river bank built in Khmer architectural style. The prang, with a height of more than 80 meters, is the highest in Thailand.

Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

• At one end of Chinatown, in what was once an otherwise unremarkable temple of Wat Traimit, sits the world's largest solid gold Buddha image. Made of about 83% pure gold and weighing in at five and a half tons, the 15-foot tall seated image is worth millions of dollars at today's gold prices.
• The image has a colorful history, which is recounted in a free pamphlet distributed with your paid admission.
• The Golden Buddha was cast sometime in the 13th century and is an excellent example of the gracious Sukhothai style that is still very much in favor to this day. At some point, it was covered in plaster and lacquer, most likely in an attempt to hide the valuable icon from thieves or looters.

Wat Phra Chetuphon

Wat Pho Temple (also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha) is one of Bangkok's largest temples and a definite must-see for visitors to the city. The Buddha is 46 meters long and gloriously decorated with gold and mother-of-pearl, and the grounds of the temple have hundreds of smaller statues and chedis, a lovely place for a stroll. Wat Pho is also known as one of the best schools of massage in the country, and it was the first public university in Thailand. Finally, it's a perfect chance to return. Besides, drop off you at your Bangkok City Hotel around 5pm.
