How Baby-Friendly is The Grand Palace?

What makes it 59% Baby-Friendly: Babies benefit from marked change tables and flat courtyards, yet no dedicated nursing room, heavy crowds, uneven thresholds, and intense heat make visits short and logistically tough.

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...
