The Grand Palace is a spectacular complex of buildings in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. Built in 1782, it served as the official residence of the Thai Kings for over 150 years. The palace is a masterpiece of traditional Thai architecture, mixed with Western influences.
Within the palace grounds is the famous Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), which houses the highly revered Emerald Buddha statue.
Today, the Grand Palace is no longer a royal residence but remains a spiritual and cultural symbol of Thailand, attracting millions of visitors each year. Its golden spires, intricate designs, and sacred atmosphere make it a must-visit landmark in Bangkok.
