Discovering Grand Palace
The Grand Palace is probably the number one tourist attraction in Bangkok, and hence probably in all of Thailand. If you are only going to see one sight in Bangkok this should be it, the stunning grandeur of the temples inside the complex is unforgettable.Built in traditional Thai architecture mixed with European designs the Grand Palace was once the official residence of Thai Monarchs.
The main centerpiece of the complex is the Emerald Buddha carved from just one piece of jade; it is the holiest and most revered religious shrine in all of Thailand.
