    There is a lot to see in this site. The temples are lovely and the palace is quite grand. A teeming crowd was there with us, so it was crowded and very hot even when we visited, during one of the “cool” season months. The guide was kind and cheerful, so we were both informed and entertained. She moved us away from the big groups. Overall, a great experience for first-time and casual visitors.

  • The Grand palace was so amazing and wonderful.

    The Grand Palace is spectacular, our tour guide explained each places nicely and gave us time to roam around but only for limited time. The place is full of tourists but still amazing. The guide also made this fun. Tip is to make sure to wear the proper attire however I Asia Thailand did remind us before travelling which was a nice touch.
