    Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew. Bangkok’s dazzling royal complex, where golden chedis, marble halls, and detailed murals showcase centuries of Thai craftsmanship. Inside, Wat Phra Kaew houses the revered Emerald Buddha, the country’s most sacred icon. With its mix of regal architecture, manicured courtyards, and strict dress code traditions, it remains the city’s most essential cultural stop.

    Spread across a sprawling compound, Wat Pho is both a working monastery and a treasure trove of history. The highlight is the immense 46-meter Reclining Buddha covered in gold leaf, but the grounds also feature peaceful cloisters, detailed chedis, and one of Thailand’s earliest massage schools. Its tranquil atmosphere offers a slower, more reflective contrast to the bustling palace nearby.

Visitors can wander the riverfront terraces, admire intricate patterns up close, and climb partway up the central spire for panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline. At sunset, the temple becomes one of the city’s most photogenic sights, glowing across the water
