 Ask anyone who has been to Bangkok what their 'must see' list is and without fail they will always include The Grand Palace complex. Explore the complex, which houses a number of attractions including Wat Phra Keow (Temple of the Emerald Buddha).Built in traditional Thai architecture mixed with European designs, The Grand Palace complex, once the official home for the Kings of Siam, is unquestionably one of the Thailand's major tourist highlights. The King still uses the Grand Palace for certain ceremonial occasions and the regal flavor within its enormous royal grounds is still evident. Visit the Royal Funeral Hall and the Royal Coronation Hall. The main centerpiece of the complex however is the 45 centimeter Emerald Buddha. Carved from just one piece of Jade it is the holiest and most revered religious object in Thailand. The Emerald Buddha is housed within Wat Phra Keow, which is a very ornately decorated building whose roof tiles reach up into the sky. |
