A must-see attraction in Bangkok. It is better to get there by metro, since ground transportation is in traffic jams. It's about a 10-minute walk from the subway!minutes. On the way, you can enter the temple of the reclining Buddha, paying 300 Baht per person for admission. Strict clothing control is carried out at the entrance to the palace. The shoulders and knees should be covered. Don't expect to slip through, it won't work. However, you can buy suitable clothes on the way and at the entrance. Translucent scarves on women's shoulders do not go through. There are a lot of people, but don't worry. You will get tickets very quickly. Everything is perfectly organized. There are cafes, toilets, and covered galleries where you can relax in the shade.
When planning my vacation in Thailand, as an active tourist, I decided to purchase several excursions from the Top Travel company. I decided in advance that one of the attractions would be the Royal Palace and the statue of the reclining Buddha. I liked the organization of the Top-Travel tour. They contacted me the night before, sent me a detailed plan and a list of everything necessary on WhatsApp, for which special respect to manager Dmitry. In the morning, a minibus picked us up for an excursion and we went to enjoy the delights of Royal Bangkok. What can I say about the sights themselves?! It's very beautiful, but I'm not a foot anymore! Two factors personally prevented me from enjoying these delights: a huge human collar, and the terrifying heat! The Chinese, Indians and many others dreamed of joining the beautiful, 100 people per square centimeter - this is not mine! In addition, the heat was terrifying, and although I had a portable fan around my neck, it didn't help much. At some point, when I already felt like I was passing out, we went into some kind of underground toilet, I put my head under a stream of cold water and only then came to my senses. In general, as a recommendation, I want to say that if you like to jostle in the collars and tolerate the heat well, you can safely go and enjoy it, because it's really beautiful there. In addition, get ready to walk a lot, it is unlikely that you will be able to sit on the benches - they are all busy. I liked the second part of the tour more - a trip along the river, where at least the wind blows. And the most pleasant thing on the tour is the chic buffet and the observation deck of the Sky Ok skyscraper. Great food - meat, fish, seafood, drinks, juices - in general, a lot of very decent things. I can't make recommendations, choosing this tour is a personal matter, but maybe my experience will help you make the right decision.

The Royal Palace in Bangkok is a whole architectural complex - Buddhist temples, pagodas, galleries, the royal library and even a replica of Angkor Wat, located on the same territory. This is perhaps the most colorful, sparkling and shining attraction in Thailand under the bright sun. The brilliance of gilding, the iridescence of porcelain mosaics, pieces of mirrors and multicolored stones delight the eye and amaze at the same time. It takes an incredible amount of painstaking and patient work to create all this splendor of patterns. It is better to visit on weekdays from the very opening - it is not so crowded. The cost of the visit is 500 baht. It also includes a visit to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, as well as the Royal Theater - watching a dance show based on the Thai epic.
