Half Day Royal Grand Palace (join in)
Description
The Royal Grand Palace, with its collection of pavilions and golden spires can only be described as an oriental masterpiece. Inside the Royal Chapel there is the Emerald Buddha, which has been carved from a solid piece of jade. The palace is a true architectural masterpiece, consisting of several buildings from the outside and a magical inside, which was used as a royal residence from the 18th century to the mid-20th century. It is without any doubt a national reference and possibly the most visited royal monument of Thailand, which shouldn’t be missed. To round off the tour, we call in at a local lapidary factory and showroom where you will be able to get locally made jewelry, handicrafts and silk at competitive prices. Note: Parts of the Royal Grand Palace and/or Wat Phra Kaew can be closed during special royal or Buddhist ceremonies and during visits of foreign heads of state.

Our guide was great and the palace was absolutely stunning. However we weren’t happy that we had to go from Wat Pho to Hotel Royal because Viator wouldn’t meet us at the gate to the Grand Palace which is next to Wat Pho. Basically we had to take a ride share to China Town to get a ride back. Even our guide didn’t understand why we had to do that.
Tour was excelent! The tour guide was amazing, had a lot information and was very thoughtful! Really recommend it!
