Stunning! Come early, the place gets too crowded around 12pm. They offer free tours at 10am, 10:30, 1pm, 1:30pm after you enter the palace. Would definitely try that if I had known that they’re free!

A very old historic tourist spot must visit when you're in Krung Thep ( Bangkok). For your information, Very strict on dressing. So must dress properly & neat, NO short pant, slipper, T-shirt etc etc
Liz ShermanMarch 2, 2019
This place is amazing but full with tour groups. Get there as early as possible. Be on the lookout for people outside who say “the palace is closed” or “the palace doesn’t open until 10” —scammers!
Sander ZuurhoutFebruary 11, 2020
You can no longer rent a pair of long trousers but you have to buy them for 200 baht, before entering. Great souvenir to take home and it wairs very comfortable.
Pornrapee AbhakornOctober 30, 2017
Been here 25+ times
Most beutifull Royal Palace of Thailand and showing the unique Rattanakosin Architect and building Art Works. A must place to visit and with Temple of the Emerald Buddha with in the same Compound.
Chris BrownApril 7, 2018
Get there early and make sure both males and females are covered up or they won’t let you in. 500 THB entry. Use river boat to get there as cheap (15THB). Impressive and definitely worth the visit.

Lots and lots and lots of spectacular buildings. Steaming hot in a sunny day. Don't miss out the museum near the entrance!
Yarn LamMay 2, 2019
Buy tickets online at https://www.royalgrandpalace.th/en/home then skip queuing in the hot sun and collect at the online booking counter.
Tian FangMarch 19, 2017
Splendid place to visit (it's a must in Bangkok) but the tour can be unpleasant when there's too many people. 500 baht per person, totally worth it!
Cass GrimmFebruary 13, 2018
Definitely try to follow the map if you can. We managed to get lost three times and if you follow the map (provided in many languages) then you can know what each place means. Wear long pants & shirt.
Nino MendozaMarch 26, 2016
Magnificent architecture!! But make sure to follow the dress code if you want your entrance to be hassle-free. Also, keep hydrated it's very hot and full of people.
hussein sOctober 14, 2014
Very impressive! A must visit place in Bangkok. A whole page of history to discover. Arrive early to fully enjoy and avoid the crowds. Un de mes coups de coeur de la Thaïlande

Duck into the Royal Treasures & Coins museum if you need to cool off from the Bangkok heat (great AC!). Otherwise enjoy exploring the beautiful grounds!
Jesse JohnstonApril 9, 2015
Although worthwhile to visit given the neighboring Wat (contained in the same complex), the Palace itself is entirely restricted and (funny enough) mostly of European architecture.
Fidel AntonioApril 14, 2014
If you're not wearing proper attire, you can borrow polo and long pants before entering the complex. But the clothing comes in one size only, which can be too big or too small for your body type.
adyMay 3, 2017
Best to wear long pants/skirt, shirt with sleeves and shoes/sandals. No shorts, three quarter pants, tights, spaghetti straps, see-through outfits, revealing outfits, slippers.
Da DararajJuly 17, 2015
The dress code is very strict. If you wear pants make sure they cover your ankles. Strip pants are not allowed or else you have to borrow their pha toong. Borrowing is free all you need is 200b deposi
Phat BuoySeptember 24, 2014
Must Do attraction in Bangkok - simply stunning once inside. Take your time as plenty to see. Choose a sunny day for the best photos - makes a massive difference
Ashley ChangJuly 19, 2016
Must wear long pants. Can rent clothing at the entrance, you leave money but it's refunded when you bring clothes back!
Taz (✿╹◡╹)August 14, 2018
Must visit while in Bangkok, worth the THB 300 entrance fee. Come before the crowd around 8:30am
Argini✨May 13, 2014
Don't listen to people telling you can go in after 13:00 or 14:00 o'clock and propose you take a tuk tuk ride! There is an entrance for non Thai people and a fee of 500 tbh. They give clothes there.
Viral VyasApril 2, 2015
Entry fee is 500 baht which I felt too much. Excellent architecture. Very colorfull. There is dress code to visit this palace.
Cass.sanJune 30, 2016
Beware of those people telling you that can go in after 13:00 or 14:00 o'clock with "free style" clothing and propose you to take a tuk tuk ride. In fact, strictly No shorts or sexy clothing !

Worth going. Ticket is THB500. At the entrance of the compound, before ticket booth, security will be checking on the way you are dressed. Dress conservatively.
Vicco AlfarijnMay 27, 2014
A must visit site while in Bangkok. Amazing buildings and do prepare umbrella, hat, sunglass and your sunblock. Dress properly since it is a holy place for Thais
Turkish AirlinesMarch 8, 2015
Looking to see something truly stunning? You’re in the right place! With its beautiful architecture, the Grand Palace is a must see.
DHR.comOctober 11, 2011
This is a huge complex of buildings that has served kings since the 18th century. Don't miss the Emerald Buddha at Wat Phra Kaew and the impressive architecture of the Chakri Mahaprasad Hall.
adyMay 3, 2017
Bring an umbrella to shade yourself from the sun, bring at least 2 small bottles of water. It's hot there. Be prepared to also dodge selfie sticks, umbrellas, prams and inconsiderate tourists.
Nick TanMay 1, 2014
A hefty 500-baht entrance fee might set you aback, but once inside you will be mesmerized by its grandeur. Wear proper clothing, and stay hydrated all throughout your stay here!
Gordon MeiFebruary 9, 2017
There's a white wall surrounding the palace, so while you can peek at parts of the palace through the gates, you're better off spending the 500 baht for admission. The dress code is stricter here.
Behnam SohrabianiMarch 30, 2018
Must be seen, ladies shall have covered cloths. 500 bht entrance fee. Be noted it has two other tickets attached. Make sire to use them as well
Layanna .August 26, 2014
YES, you CAN use sandals or slippers (like Havaianas). But you have to wear pants and cover your shoulders. Don't trust anyone saying that the Grand Palace is closed, as everyone said here: scams
Fairuz Zainal AarifMarch 30, 2016
Beautiful architecture and very well preserved. Please come early to avoid disappointment.Tiket sales is at B500/pax.Try avoid this place if you can't stand a very crowded place.Pls bring ur own H2O.
Rafael MarinAugust 23, 2017
This was an stunning first contact with the Eastern culture, religion and architecture. There are no words to describe it, you simply have to go and see it for yourself.
Christian K.November 4, 2014
If you are taken by a Tuk Tuk don't get ripped of! 20 Baht per person is what you should spend the most for a 2-3hour trip through the area!
Lub dAugust 10, 2011
A must place where you have to visit while staying in BKK. Don't miss pay respect Emerald Buddha & admire Asian architect.They are very very strict on dressing. Make sure to properly dress up.
Marcel BAugust 23, 2016
The place has an amazing architecture. That said, its orgazination does not keep up. High entry fee payable only in cash, strict dresscode, few direction signs, most buildings are closed, crowded,...
InterContinental BangkokOctober 20, 2011
The most spectacular Buddhist architecture can be found at Wat Pra Kaeo (Temple of Emerald Buddha). It contains more exquisite carvings and decorations per square centimetre than any comparable sites.
Ryan LandryJanuary 29, 2015
At 500 baht be sure to go early and spend the day to get your monies worth. Dress appropriately! And skip the tour guides.
InterContinental Hotels & ResortsDecember 10, 2012
The Grand Palace certainly is the must-do attraction in Bangkok, and not without reasons. From the green jade image of Buddha in the Royal Chapel to Wat Pho, there is much to see, shoulders covered. Read more
Milad CerkicJuly 28, 2016
Bet crowded, but if in Bangkok don't miss this place. It's beautiful!
Stacey BrookFebruary 22, 2016
If there is one must-see sight that no visit to Bangkok would be complete without, it's the dazzling, spectacular Grand Palace, undoubtedly the city's most famous landmark.
Say Pin LeeJanuary 4, 2015
Get here early in the morning to avoid the crowd. You cannot wear shorts into the temple. Long pants is a must.
Anand KumarAugust 14, 2011
Foregners are to pay Baht 400 per person. Opened from 10 AM till 10 PM. You may carry your Camera and HandyCams inside. No sleeveless, no mini skirts. Also no photos of Emrald Buddha. Enjoy!
Anastasiya SurikovaNovember 9, 2017
Beautiful but crowds of tourists make a big noise so it’s difficult to concentrate and just enjoy...
Michael C.January 16, 2016
If you’re coming with a shoulder free top, you have to borrow a shirt there. Rather expensive entry fee and will get crowded fast. But you can take unique photos there!
Quentin LafonJuly 28, 2014
You must visit this historical place when you are in BKK ! Don't miss to take a few postcards photos.
Hernan ValdiviaFebruary 5, 2020
The intricate delicate Decoration of each of the buildings and monuments. You must wear long trousers!!
Anders SjöqvistMay 15, 2014
For a 200 baht DEPOSIT per item, clothes can be borrowed inside the entrance. Sandals are okay (I asked). Don't trust people outside, even if they claim to be police officers giving you advice!
