Built in 1782 as the new seat of power of the Siamese Kingdom and the official residence of the royal family, the Grand Palace in the heart of Bangkok is a building complex known for its beautiful architecture, intricate detail, and the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.
True enough, the Grand Palace is really “grand”. The complex is massive and the details of the buildings are perfect, you’d spend more time than you’re supposed to just to look at the details and take beautiful pictures. Can’t believe it was constructed during a time of war and suffering in Thailand.
I did my research on the place and I found out that it was built as a copy of the old kingdom’s capital in Ayutthaya. Wow.
The place is packed with tourists and it’s always hot in Thailand so bring water. Also, as the most important building in Bangkok it enforces a strict dress code; no slippers, shorts, and sleeveless tops.
