The Grand Palace is a complex of buildings at the heart of Bangkok, Thailand that has served as the official residence of the Kings of Siam and later Thailand since 1782. The palace functions as both a royal residence and site of administrative offices, and houses the Temple of the Emerald Buddha within its grounds. Visitors can explore multiple areas including Phra Mondop and Phra Siratana Chedi, as well as museums dedicated to Thai arts, textiles, and classical khon dance performances.
