    The glittering Grand Palace in Bangkok is an architectural wonder that was once home to the kings of the Chakri Dynasty. The palace was built in 1782 by the Rama I, the first king of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital of what was then known as the Kingdom of Siam from Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River to Bangkok on the east bank. For 150 years the palace was the home of the Thai King. Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom. NOTE 1: We do not go inside the Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew, but only see it from the outside. NOTE 2: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.
