The Grand Palace in Bangkok offers many amazing sights to see. The main gem of the complex is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), which houses the famous Buddha statue made of solid jadeite, 66 centimeters tall. This temple was built by order of King Rama I specifically for personal worship.

On the palace grounds, you will also find:

  • Several royal palaces and throne halls
  • Numerous stupas and pagodas
  • The Temple of the Emerald Buddha Museum with a rich collection of artifacts
  • Exhibitions and galleries

The peculiarity of the complex is that it is divided into two parts: one open to tourists and the other closed official area. The closed part contains the royal residence and administrative buildings, where entry is strictly prohibited. However, the open area impresses with its beauty - here are concentrated all the most impressive structures.

With a single ticket, you can also visit the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles and watch a Thai mask dance show at the royal theater. The total area of the complex is 218 thousand square meters, comparable to the area of the Moscow Kremlin.
