A little context changes everything
Bangkok and its royal beginnings
The Grand Palace’s official history connects the establishment of the complex with the move of the capital to the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya in 1782. Royal buildings and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha are part of this setting. It adds cultural context to a Thailand city break; entry, opening arrangements and suitable dress should be checked before a visit.

When is the suggested travel season?
The catalogue suggests: Choose travel dates with our team according to your interests, current weather, local operating conditions and the confirmed rate validity..
