The Temple of the Emerald Buddha

This is a Royal temple and serves as the site of Buddhist religious rites undertaken by the king and the royal family for major events in Thailand. All the other days, together with certain areas of the Grand palace, it is open to visitors, and they are among the country's best known tourist attractions. Just remember that the generic "cover your knee" rule doesn't work here and at Grand Palace. You will need full length pants. They sell those pants at the entrance, but the price will double what you will pay at the market.

This is a beautiful Temple with intricate details and paintings in the buildings surrounding the main Temple. You can only visit with a full entrance ticket to the Royal Palace, which are available at the door. I would recommend getting a tour guide as there is not too much information posted and the guides seem very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and faith of the Temple. Note, they do strictly enforce attire so please dress appropriately (no shorts or skirts, or revealing tops), otherwise you will have to purchase pants!

Beautiful temples with a lot of history to walk around. 500baht entrance fee but this does include some other attractions as well so if you do them it's worth it. There are free guided tours at various times throughout the day, we did one and it was really good, the guide was amazing and we really enjoyed it! But be prepared for it to be busy no matter what time of day you get there!! Also men must wear trousers, even shorts covering the knees were not allowed.

Another complex where photographs do not quite do the structures justice. The detail and architecture of the entire complex were amazing and while there were a lot of people, even early in the morning, it was well worth the visit. Would recommend if in Bangkok.

Here is one of the most stunning spots in Bangkok. Located inside the Grand Palace, it is famous for its intricate architecture, colorful murals, and the Emerald Buddha statue. It is a place that blends beauty, culture, and sacred vibes. Tips: 1. Dress respectfully by covering your shoulders and knees. If needed, you can rent clothes at the entrance. 2. Arrive early, ideally at 8:30 AM, to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before the crowds arrive. 3. Bring water and maybe a hat or umbrella, as Bangkok’s heat can be intense. 4. Your ticket includes the Grand Palace, so make sure to plan time to explore both. 5. Photography is allowed outside but not inside the main hall with the Buddha.

Beautiful temple definitely recommend going in a little earlier in the day as it get really crowded very quickly. There is no photos allowed inside of the temple of the Emerald Buddha. Really enjoy the beautiful painting of Thailand national epics "The Ramakien", make sure to check it out.

A must-visit place in Bangkok, Thailand. It's popular among both foreigners and local Thais. This is a wonderful temple and an important site in Thailand where many people come to visit and pay respect to Buddha to bring luck into their lives and for their families. I visit here many times every year because of the stunning art, architecture, and the opportunity for great photography and memories."

Spectacular buildings, gardens and temples. A must-see in Bangkok. 500 Baht entry. Gets very busy and hot in the sun so recommend getting there as early as you can to beat the crowds and the heat. Easy to reach via one of the river boats (around 30-40 Baht - less than £1) from most parts of downtown Bangkok with just a short walk from the pier. Make sure your arms and legs are covered as you are entering a sacred temple (if they are not you will be required to buy suitable clothing and change before entering) and follow the instructions to take off your shoes and be seated when inside the temple buildings. Allow a good few hours to see everything - and don’t miss the museum of costume which is also on site if you’re interested in textiles and fashion.
