What to do and see in Rattanakosin (Bangkok Old City), Thailand: The Best Historic Sites
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

Golden and magnificent, like the "Grand Palace" in the city of the fairy tale world, gathers ancient Thai architecture and Royal culture. The Grand Palace is Bangkok's best preserved, most spectacular, largest and most national palace, which gathers the essence of Thai architecture, painting, sculpture and garden art. The dress requirements for entering the Grand Palace will be much stricter than usual. A jacket must have sleeves, no slippers, and a woman must wear a long skirt. If you don't meet the requirements, you need to buy a yarn cage. The people who entered were basically all wrapped in the cages they bought now. Only when you are in Rome, do as the Romans do, can you dissolve into the local scenery. The Grand Palace has its own commentator, and there are many visitors. In fact, the palace is just a look at the appearance, the palace cannot enter inside. The Jade Buddha Temple is closely adjacent to the Grand Palace.
