3. The Grand Palace was the seat not only of the king and his court, but contained within its crenelated walls the entire government administration. The architecture is vibrantly Thai though there are some European designs as well. Brilliantly colored and gilded, and decorated with intricate detail, the overall effect is dazzling. The palace served as the official residence of the kings of Thailand from the 18th to the mid-20th century.

4. The most famous building on the palace grounds is Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple (wat) in Thailand. Construction of the temple began when King Rama I moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok in 1785. Unlike other Thai temples, it does not contain living quarters for monks; rather, it has only the richly decorated holy buildings, statues, and pagodas. The main temple building is the central ubosoth, which houses the Emerald Buddha. Though green in color, the Buddha is actually carved from a single piece of jade, and though only 17 inches tall, is the most revered object in Thailand. Also within the grounds are several palaces, used for various occasions: the Funeral Palace, Reception Palace, Throne Hall, Coronation Hall, and the Royal Guest House. The majority of halls and palaces can be viewed from outside only, but the exteriors are captivating enough to please.

About Bangkok

Bangkok, la exuberante capital de Tailandia, alinea templos dorados y palacios reales junto al río, entre comida callejera, mercados y rascacielos.

El Gran Palacio y el Wat Phra Kaew, hogar del venerado Buda Esmeralda, relucen en la antigua isla real de Rattanakosin. Al lado, el Wat Pho cobija un gigantesco Buda reclinado y una famosa escuela de masaje tailandés, y al otro lado del río Chao Phraya las agujas incrustadas de porcelana del Wat Arun brillan al atardecer.
