What to see at the Royal Palace?

The sightseeing tour through the palace grounds starts right at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha to take you to the courtyard of the Royal Palace itself.

Towards the end of the tour, visit the small Royal Palace Museum to learn all about the history of the Thai royal family.
