Hello Readers,
Today, I would like to show you more of historical significance and extremely beautiful place to see. The Grand Palace is the place you must visit while you are in Bangkok.
King Rama I who established Bangkok as Thailand’s new capital built the Grand Palace in 1782. The palace was to be bigger and grander than palaces built in the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya eras to underscore the significance of the change of capital. The result was a palace of jewels, gold and splendors the like never seen before in Thailand. The Grand Palace remained the Royal Family’s official residence from 1782 to 1946. The last king to live there was King Chulalongkorn. The plan of the Grand Palace followed closely that of the old palace in Ayutthaya. The Palace is rectangular shaped, with the western side next to a river and the royal temple situated to the east side, with all structures facing north. The palace itself is divided into three quarters: the outer quarters, the middle quarters and the inner quarters.
The palace became the center of the Rattanakosingovernment and royal court for most of the early ChakriDynastyuntil the reign of King Chulalongkorn(Rama V) who preferred to stay at the Dusit Palace, but still used the Grand Palace as an office and primary place of residence. The Palace is however still very much in use as the King performs many royal rituals here every year.
Notes: You must dress appropriately before guards will permit you to enter the Palace. If you do not have long sleeved shirts/blouses or long trousers or dresses/skirts with you, it is possible to hire cloth at the gates of the Palace.
Hopefully, you enjoyed all of information and photos image here for now.
