How Couple-Friendly is The Grand Palace?

Couples enjoy ornate photo spots, balcony views, and the included Khon dance show, yet dense crowds and modest‐dress rules slightly reduce privacy and spontaneity.

Its quite impressive. However, the entrance fee doesn't include access to the interior parts of the palace, which was a disappointment. The textiles museum is basically an exhibition the queen's outfits, so make of that what you will. Entering it requires navigating blocked off roads and sidewalks. Regardless, worth a visit if you want to experience a bit of Thai history.

You can easily explore the palace and temples on y...

Good place to visit. Exorbitant entrance fee. Good guides with multi language skills. Friendly customer care and securitys staff. Nice parking nearby. Good ambience. About one day we can spend it easily there. Guides can share the visuals with the story and explain well.

They have a strict dress code (modest clothing) and it's respectful to stick to it. There's a map near the entrance, but I als...
