My boyf and I walked to the Grand Palace from our hotel (Royal Bangkok Hotel) which took approx. 15minutes. We didn't experience the scam artists that we had been warned about like some people have. We got there at 9.30am and there were quite a lot of people there already, but we managed to get our tickets quickly. There is... more

A couple tips if you go to the Grand Palace. 1) Beware of people telling you that it's closed - it's a scam. See the other review about this.

Whenever I go to Bangkok I always go to the Grand Palace. OK you have to wear long trousers in the tropical heat but the sights make it worthwhile. By the way, you can't wear jeans, three quarter lengths, track suits plus a couple of other things (don't worry, you can hire clothes if you turn up in jeans etc).... more
