Though everybody liked it but i found it a little tiring and very costly with no special new thing.. it was like every palace with more complicated ways no proper help. i would not recommend u to go there
What the guidebooks said came to pass: We were conned by people outside the Palace (claiming it was closed), when they had an "understanding" with the tuk tuk (tricycle) driver to drop us off at the side of the Palace that was closed. The "guide" then regaled us of a palace that was open, and after that, the tuk tuk brought us ...
The home of Thai Royalty and some of the greatest treasures of the region such as a piece of the Great Buddha's breast bone housed in a magnificent temple.

Beware at Grand Palace
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/03/08
There were just too many unofficial guides outside of the Grand Palace to con you from entering the Palace so you will need to pay other guides to visit other temples before you come back. That really spoilt my day. At the end, we didn't even enter the Grand Palace! There must have been tons of people got con the way we saw it.
I think the trip to Thailand was fantastic. We were on a tour and got alot for the money. the Grand Palace was spectacular. Some Americans might say it was "over the top".

this place had many things to be seen with a proper guideance of person who knows about it. I really aenjoyed this place. I invite all the people who love to see pice of art visit to there.
Overall the place (thailand) is great with its architecture and landscape, what a place to visit its worth your time and money.one thing annoying are the local people who pose as tourist guide but pry for tourist to make money.Anyway its part of tourism business and as a part help them alleviate their livelihood. PUT THIS TRIP ON YOUR LIST,I LOVE TO COMEBACK AGAIN- thailand people are friendly and always wears a smile.
Unbelieveable place to visit. Very spiritual too. Wear long pants however as they will not let you walk around in shorts! Forget the long pants and you can rent a pair while there if you wish.
For first visit in Thailand.I'd like to recommend u to visit this place..The Grand palace & The Emerald Buddha temple.dress politely. This inner-city riverine landmark contains several buildings with highly detailed architectural features. Wat Phra Kaeo within the same compound, is a treasure house of Thai arts, and houses the Emerald ...
