What To Expect

Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

ROYAL PALACE
Located in the heart of Bangkok, the Grand Palace was an ancient residence for King Rama I and King Rama V of the kingdom of Rattanakosin. Today, the place is used to host royal ceremonies and welcome the king's guests, state guests and other foreign dignitaries. It is also a place where the remains of kings and high-ranking members of the royal family were located before the cremation.
The Royal Palace is divided into two main areas, which are the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the royal residence. The latter is divided into three main areas: the External Court, the Central Court and the Internal Court.
The External Court departs from the Wiset Chai Si Gate to the Phiman Chai Si Gate and includes the interior walls of the Royal Palace. It is now home to several state offices such as the Bureau of the Royal Household, the office of Her Majesty's main private secretary and the Royal Institute office.
The Central Court starts at Phiman Chai Si Gate at Sanam Ratchakit Gate. The area is where important royal ceremonies take place, such as the royal coronation and the royal ceremony of the coronation day. In the Middle Court area are the Phra Maha Monthien buildings, the Chakri Maha Prasat buildings, the Phra Maha Prasat buildings and the Siwalai garden district.
The inner court starts from the Gate of Sanam Ratchakit in Thaew Teng, the terraced houses that were formerly the walls of the palace during the reign of King Rama I. The southern area of the inner court was then an area reserved for women only; no man except that the king was allowed to enter the area, where the queens, consorts, consort mothers and the king's daughters lived together with many ladies and servants. The area is no longer used as a residence today.
Tips
• Please dress properly, covering your shoulders and legs up to your knees
• Please bring your passport, often required for entry checks

Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage School

WAT PHO
Wat Pho is not only one of Bangkok's most visited Buddhist temples, but it is also the combination of history, medical science and educational institution. Officially christened Wat Prachetuphon Vimon Mangkararam, Wat Pho was founded during the 16th century and later became the Royal Temple of King Rama I of the Chakri dynasty. Located within the main ordination hall is the 46-meter sacred lying Buddha, whose feet are beautifully inlaid with mother-of-pearl, carved with sacred signs. Wat Pho is also known as "the nation's first public university" among Thais, thanks to 1,360 marble inscriptions on medical, historical and liberal sciences found throughout the temple where people can read and learn at any time . Marble inscriptions on medical sciences, anatomy and orthopedics are the origins of the traditional massage principles of Wat Pho Thai, which made Wat Pho a world famous site. The traditional service, nowadays, is also available at the nearby pavilion. in 2008, Wat Pho was named Memory of the UNESCO World (MOW) as a documentary heritage for Asia and the Pacific region.

Wat Trai Mit

This Buddhist temple near Bangkok Chinatown is famous for only one thing: the Golden Buddha. The story goes that in 1931 there was a restoration that took place in Wat Phraya Krai in the Yannawa district. The main statue of the Buddha, which was in concrete, was then transferred to Wat Trai Mit, which was also undergoing a major renovation and expansion. Twenty years later, in 1955, when the structures were completed, the Buddha statue was moved to be set in one of the buildings. But the Buddha statue was too heavy and fell from the lifting crane and its cracked surface revealed the pure gold hidden inside. After flaking off the cement surface, the three-meter-high statue of the Buddha was unveiled. It had been made up of three tons of 18 carat gold during the ancient kingdom of Sukhothai, about 700-800 years ago. It is believed that the original Golden Buddha was covered with cement plaster to hide it from enemies during the Sukhothai-Ayutthaya disputes. Now it is the largest image of the Buddha in pure gold in the world, kept in the newly built stupa of new level. .
