THE GORGEOUS GRAND PALACE
The most important of all Thai monuments, the Grand Palace has to be the one must-see item on your agenda; and is the most too beautiful to adequately describe in words! You will not really be able to say that you have visited Thailand without seeing it! The Palace was the residence of the early Chakri dynasty kings built some 210 years ago. Make sure that you prepare plenty of films to keep shots of these stunning architectures! Within the extensive Palace grounds is the most sacred and important of all Thai temples, Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha), containing the most revered Buddha image in the country which is made from one solid piece of translucent green jade. This excursion is absolutely not to be missed!
**Dress Code: Strict dress code policy applies for visiting the Grand Palace. Only trousers or long knee-length skirt are permitted and shoes that completely enclose the foot (no sandals, open toed shoes, etc.).
