Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

The glittering Grand Palace in Bangkok is an architectural wonder that was once home to the kings of the Chakri Dynasty. A visit to the ornate and historic Grand Palace, and the adjacent Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is a highlight of any visit to the Kingdom. The palace was built in 1782 by the Rama I, the first king of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital of what was then known as the Kingdom of Siam from Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River to Bangkok on the east bank. For 150 years the palace was the home of the Thai King. Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.

It was great to see these places with the a knowledgeable guide. But it would have been nice if she waited for the entire group to be together before telling us about places. I can’t imagine going on this tour without a guide.
Would highly recommend this tour with Ken.
