Suitable Clothing for the Grand Palace 4 stars
Travel Tip: Grand Palace

When we entered the Grand Palace, we were immediately herded into a trailer where we were given “suitable” clothes to wear into the temple.

If your in Bangkok you might as well go and see the Grand Palace, I am the type of person that generally gets pretty bored looking at buildings and museums but the architecture is so amazing and the detail that has gone into building the Grand Palace really is breath taking.
