What the guidebooks said came to pass: We were conned by people outside the Palace (claiming it was closed), when they had an "understanding" with the tuk tuk (tricycle) driver to drop us off at the side of the Palace that was closed. The "guide" then regaled us of a palace that was open, and after that, the tuk tuk brought us to a jewelry shop.

The home of Thai Royalty and some of the greatest treasures of the region such as a piece of the Great Buddha's breast bone housed in a magnificent temple.

There were just too many unofficial guides outside of the Grand Palace to con you from entering the Palace so you will need to pay other guides to visit other temples before you come back. That really spoilt my day. At the end, we didn't even enter the Grand Palace! There must have been tons of people got con the way we saw it.

The Grand Palace is a collection of temples and buildings in the old Thai style. They are stunning, and awe inspiring and beautiful. They are in a compound; the king used to live here and some government functions are still performed here. The architecture and decoration is unbelievable and amazing. The buildings are colorful and intricately detailed. I have been to Bangkok and Thailand dozens of times (for business) over the years and this is by far the best thing I have seen. I recommend this as your #1 stop; don't miss it. It is usually crowded and of course Bangkok is always hot, so be prepared with appropriate clothing and water.

PUT THIS TRIP ON YOUR LIST,I LOVE TO COMEBACK AGAIN- thailand people are friendly and always wears a smile.

Unbelieveable place to visit. Very spiritual too. Wear long pants however as they will not let you walk around in shorts! Forget the long pants and you can rent a pair while there if you wish.
