GRAND PALACE

KEEP IN MIND IT’S VERY HOT, RAINY OR & HUMID IN THAILAND.
My suggestion is to  view The Grand Palace | The Emerald Buddha | The Reclining Buddha
For this duration in these seasons:
​
WINTER SEASON: NOVEMBER – FEBRUARY 1.45 HOURS.
RAINY SEASON: AUGUST – NOVEMBER 1.30 HOURS.

Then proceed to the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho)
Opening hours 8:00 am – 5.00 pm everyday  Bring umbrella to protect from sun or rain.
