19 Best Things to Do in Bangkok, From Palaces to Piping-Hot Street Food | Condé Nast Traveler

"Sited on land designated in 1782 when the capital moved to Bangkok, the Grand Palace is a sprawling complex of royal throne and ceremonial halls anchored by the sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha; it’s a must-see for architecture and history lovers, and the ticket also grants access to the often-overlooked Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles, where you can learn about royal gowns and silk production before cooling off in strong air conditioning and browsing a well-stocked gift shop." - Katie Lockhart, Diana Hubbell
