entry ticket cost 100 thb which is much higher as we already spent 500 thb per person for grand palace entry.

really a beautiful buddha idol full of emarlds & gold..... near by the grand palace.. a must watch when u r in bangkok

This temple is within the Grand Palace. It is a beautiful structures with golden roofs and huge golden demons guarding the entrances. Its a highly respected temple for local thais.....

This Wat is located within walking distance of the royal palace. Very clean, and the architecture of the various buildings is very worthwhile, as there are Thai, Cambodian, Chinese buildings on site. The Emerald Buddha itself, surrounded by gold is beautiful.
