Sightseeing Guide
Wat Phra Kaew and the Royal Palace are the main tourist spots in Bangkok. The royal palace was built in 1782 by Rama I of the Bangkok dynasty and is attached to the temple, Wat Phra Kaew.
In Wat Phra Kaeo main hall, the Emerald Buddha is enshrined, so it is also called Emerald Buddha.
Wat Phra Kaew and the Royal Palace, which are located on a fairly large site, have a lot of highlights but one of the facilities that cannot be overlooked is the model of Angkor Wat. Why Angkor Wat in Bangkok? However, it is said that Rama IV was fascinated by Angkor Wat, a Khmer country that was once a member of Thailand.
There are also murals in the long corridor.
The last part of the tour route is Chakri Maha Prasat Palace, which cannot enter inside, but is a magnificent palace that shows the power of the Bangkok dynasty.
