The Grand Palace
the Grand Palace, once the official home of the Kings of Siam - built in traditional Thai architecture mixed with European designs. You will also visit The Royal Funeral Hall and The Royal Coronation Hall. This palace has an area of 218,400 sq. meters and is surrounded by walls built-in 1783. The length of the four walls totals 1900 meters. Within these walls are situated government offices and the Chapel Royal of the Emerald Buddha besides the royal residences. When Siam restored law and order after the fall of Ayutthaya the monarch lived in Thonburi on the other side of the river. Rama I, immediately on ascending the throne, moved the center of administration to this side of the Chao Phraya; and, after erecting public monuments such as fortifications and monasteries, built a palace to serve not only as his residence but also his offices - the various ministries, only one of which remains in the palace walls.

Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour, Must-Try: Hidden Bangkok Bike and Food Tour, Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide?
+
Included: Walking tour; and English Speaking Guide. Not included: Personal Expenses; Gratuities; and Admission fee - Royal Grand Palace. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 524 listed pickup locations in and around Bangkok. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Bangkok: Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Walking Tour With Guide offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
