A visit to Bangkok is not complete if you plan to skip the former Kings’ residence. The Grand Palace is one of the most beautiful examples of an ancient Siamese court. The enclosed Wat Phra Kaew houses one of the most revered Buddha images of the country. The grandeur of the Rama Kings cannot be better displayed once you’re including a visit to Bangkok’s Grand Palace. A monumental building with royal allure flowing through its compound comes with an elaborate story of how royalty lived, worked and worshipped. Of equal importance, the temple of the Emerald Buddha is home to a valuable depiction of the Lord Buddha. It may be small in size but its immense importance is not to be underestimated.
