The Grand Palace is an icon of Bangkok and visiting it would be like to take a step into a palace the likes of which are mentioned in enchanting love stories. However, as it also holds the Royal Temple of the Emerald Buddha, it is a site of much reverence; hence refrain from showing too much affection (kissing...etc.). The palace was once the residence of the royals so it is designed in the grandest manner with beautifully decorated residences, throne halls, pagodas, murals and much more. The Royal Temple of the Emerald Buddha contains within it an emerald-coloured, jade Buddha which is said to be over 2000 years old.
As we mentioned before, the Grand Palace and the Royal Temple of the Emerald Buddha are sacred sites so you and your partner will need to dress in an appropriate way by avoiding shorts and sleeveless tops. You will also need to take off your shoes.
