The original structure was built way back in 1782!!! So, you can image the feeling you get as you walk through a place that has seen so much.
The architecture is stunning, so details an intricate. you can feel the hours and hours of work that individuals invested in, in building The Grand Palace.
Entry to The Grand Palace will set you back about 400baht which is around $16AUD
There are strict dress codes. I had on leggings and a singlet (not knowing there were dress codes before going - I should have checked) but my tuk-tuk driver went and hired me two sarongs - One as a skirt and the other to wrap around my shoulders. Wear a long skirt and long sleeves - nothing tight!
TIP: Go early - there are massive crowds, and I went on a week day! Also, take a guide book. It will help to explain some of the structures you're looking at and the history behind it, as a lot of it is very interesting and there aren't many signs/information stands, let alone english ones.
