The Grand Palace
The Grand Palace in Bangkok is a must-visit place for every visitor to Thailand that stands as the most famous landmark today. Ever since it was built in 1782, it served as the home of the Thai King, a royal residence for 150 years. Now it is only used for special occasions or ceremonies. The Grand Palace is divided into 3 main zones. The Outer Court is where you can find the Temple of Emerald Buddha, the Middle Court is where most of the significant residential and state buildings are, and the Inner Court is exclusively reserved for the king, his queen and his consorts. Never miss out on the Temple of Emerald Buddha if you go to the Outer Court, where you can see a beautiful and sacred Buddishist sculpture called, Phra Kaeo Morakot (the Emerald Buddha)! You will be awestruck by the green jade sculpture that is flawlessly carved and is displayed amid gold-gilded ornaments!
