Grand Palace





Phra Borom Maha Ratcha Wang or popular as Grand Palace. Everyone who came to Bangkok MUST visit this palace. It located at Na Phra Lan Road, Old City (Rattanakosin).
We were there on our second day in Thailand. Luckily that day we don't have to pay the entrance fee. On that day, The Grand Palace only opened to visitor until 1 pm because there will be a ceremony attended by King. 
Normally, Grand Palace open  daily at 08.30 - 15.30. Tickets sold also from 8:30 - 15:30 and cost 400 baht. One ticket includes entry to Vimanmek Palace and Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall.

Grand Palace Complex are a sacred places, visitor must be properly dressed. Men must wear long pants and shirts with sleeves (no tank tops. If you're wearing sandals or flip-flops you must wear socks (in other words, no bare feet.) Women must be similarly modestly dressed. No see-through clothes, bare shoulders, etc. During our visit, we often met foreigners especially Caucasians using 'temporary  clothes' that provided in a booth near the gate (deposit are required).

I'll continue on the next post.
