The Temple of the Emerald Buddha

Cool to walk around in the royal palace area! So much to see and explore! The details is so beautiful! Loved my time here! But you should know that it is extremely crowded, so you have to force yourself through a lot! And it is a bit expensive with 500 baht

The time that was taken to construct these temples is heavily felt upon approaching this place. I took advantage of the prayer rooms, the outdoor prayer stations, and taking in the beauty. I met people from all over the world and had great exchanges. As a Christian, I was still able to respect and appreciate another religion and how our beliefs and faith bring us together in such a positive way.

Tips:
-Dress modestly
-Wear socks because some places prohibit shoes
-DO NOT get a Buddha tattoo

The most magnificent and gorgeous temple in Bangkok!
If you only had one day for your trip, definitely visit this temple.
The inside ornaments and design is stunning. The outside is garden is perfect. There are people praying and singing mantra, although I don’t understand Thai, it is a good experience to see this place is still practical in use.

Very nice Temple, it was the first temple that we visited in Bangkok from the list of 5, by far the nicest one. I really like that you have to take off your shoes before going inside the temple and they even show in front at the entry in the temple that you should not point your feet to Buddha.
The premises are wide, and there are lots of things to see, but it is very crowded.
We bought the tickets online so it was bit fast for us, they just had to scan it and in we were.

One of the most important and significant Buddhist temples in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, this sacred site draws locals who come to pray with white flowers. I found this tradition truly admirable during my visit to the temple. Moreover, the atmosphere inside was incredibly serene!

The artworks adorning the inner walls are truly astonishing and one could easily spend half an hour simply admiring them. However, it's important to note that using a camera inside the temple is strictly prohibited. The Emerald Buddha Idol, a divine masterpiece, left me in awe. Knowing that such a beautiful artistic, cultural, and religious relic originated from India filled me with a sense of pride as an Indian. (information sourced from the internet) Situated within the Grand Palace complex, this temple is accessible with the same ticket purchased for entry to the Grand Palace.

Excellent experience overall, understand how rich Thailand culture and experience their history, Buddhism and architecture marvels. Emerald Buddha temple is huge and you feel very pleasant near the shrine of lord Buddha and the historic events carved around the temple walls. Outside of the temple has these emeralds, gems stone carved into the walls makes it more amazing. When you visit Bangkok this temple is a must to be in the list. If you are a historic person then must have. You can visit with family and kids. Buy the tickets at the temple, if you are a foreigner, the cost is 500 Bahts and get access to Emerald Buddha temple, Grand palace and Queen museum of arts and fashion.

Yes, this is a must visit. Visiting the Palace is a buy-one-get-two event. In actuality, you'll probably spend more time in the religious portion of the palace (~10% of the site) than in the remainder of the grounds. There is enough to see to keep you busy for a few hours. And it is worth the hours! You will need a map to explore all the nooks and crannies. We walked the entire wall, looking at the artwork. You may want to bone up on your Hindu mythology; there are a lot of mystical creatures and magical bows. Expert tips - Yes, gentlemen do need long pants, which are available on premises, and cheaper (with better variety) if you buy them at a local shop. There is only one entry up on the NE corner of the walled complex. Google Maps show it correctly. I would not try to visit another site on the same day - a walk through, especially on a hot day, is more than enough. I'd recommend staying up in Khao San Road for a few days and visiting the other major sites in the "old city" at a more relaxed pace.

I find it difficult to come up with words to describe the experience of visiting this remarkable temple. Its opulence is extraordinary, and yet, upon entering I was filled with a sense of tranquility such as I haven’t felt in a while. Perhaps the sincerity of many of those who entered to worship had its effect on me. Regardless, this is a temple that must be experienced to be understood. No photos are allowed in the interior. I believe that’s the way it should be.

Great experience. Lots of beautiful things to see. I'd recommend dressing comfortably with comfy walking shoes. Ladies also need to wear long items of clothing (covering shoulders and below the knees).

Beautiful! everywhere you look you can beautiful colours on all the temples. There’s loads to see here you could spend a few hours. They are very strict on clothing, I had a cover up over my arms and had to buy a tshirt there.

The architecture and sights were awesome! It's a long queue in a weekend Saturday, you may get the tickets earlier but still the queue is up to 10 minutes to enter. It's a stunning place nonetheless!

Everything here is well preserved, the emerald Buddha is kept in the ordination hall or bot.
No photos taken allowed inside the hall so no pictures of Emerald Buddha to share, but it’s magnificent and majestic. I’m proud to be Thai and once in life to visit there.
No shorts 🩳 or revealing outfit allowed there be prepared before step into the temple and after your trip has finished don’t take any taxi 🚖 from there it’s not ordinary taxi the cost way too high I recommend to take a bus go anywhere that far enough from that area then you can take a taxi.
On the way to get there no problem to use taxi or Grab but the way back is super difficult.

Quite crowded place but absolutely worth to visit. Entrance fee is 500 Bhat. Don’t get confused by ppl around the palace trying to talk you into any kind of special offer or telling you they are official whatsoever. Just head to the entrance an get a ticket. You have to dress appropriately (shoulders covered, legs covered - even man) to get in.

Beautiful temple complex within the Grand Palace. Worth the entrance fees with the high density of Buddha statues and architecturally stunning temples!

Had an amazing experience visiting the Grand Palace. It's a beautiful heritage site of Bangkok with the entire story of Ramayan depicted on the walls of the palace with beautiful Muriel paintings on the wall. If you are visiting Bangkok, this is a must visit place and do not miss. Caution: both men and women are not allowed in shorts and sleeveless dresses. So wear proper clothes to avoid unnecessary spending. 😊

The temple, a masterpiece of Thai craftsmanship, narrates the country's rich cultural evolution. With its halls echoing with echoes of ancient rituals and royal ceremonies, this temple is more than a tourist spot—it's a living archive of the region's fascinating history. Immerse yourself in the allure of the Emerald Buddha, and you're not just sightseeing; you're time-traveling through the annals of Thai splendor. 🕰🏛

Attire: Wear modestly (No sleeveless shirts or t-shirt/ All pants or skirts must be below knee level)

Entry tickets: Get it from the ticketing counter as you can't really prebook them. Even our tour guide got our tickets at the counter only when we arrived.

Photography: You're free to take photos and videos, however you can't take photos of videos in certain areas (praying areas). Follow their rules and regulations properly as the officers inside are very strict - they will chase you out if you forget your manners and behavior and act disrespectfully.

The most unique, sacred and beautiful temple I ever seen. Brought tears to my eyes as soon as I entered the main temple. Just remember, no shorts or sleeveless clothing allowed.

Iconic tourist destination, filled with Thailand's cultural diversity, stories and much more.

The statues and golden Temple blinking in the mid-day sun is just an amazing sight. You have to look up close at the wall, the pillars, the statues to see the details, the complexity which artists put time into.

Around the main site, there is wall mural with so much stories, arts for you to enjoy. If you want to deeper understand the story behind the mural, rent an audio tour or get a tour guide to tell you its story. Magical.

However, be sure to bring an umbrella or you'll have a head-ache from the sun and the bright view of the golden temple.

This place is amazing...
Visitors must wear appropriate clothing.
No sleeveless & no shorts, or else u will buy clothing outside the temple that will cost you 100-120 bt.
Taking photos and videos to the holy temple is prohibited. The main temple where you can see the Emerald Buddha.
Be aware that this is one of the main tourist attractions in Bangkok. it's either off season or during season doesn't matter much with regards to the number of tourists.

Defined as one of the must-see sites in Bangkok and I think it's definitely worth it.
Entrance fee is 500 baht and it turns out that it is a combined ticket for entrance to the museum at the entrance to the King's Palace and the King's Palace complex and the temples. On the way out, a guide who saw the ticket explained that I had a week to use the extra ticket, it was not relevant to us because we left the King's Palace for the last day before the flight.
It is recommended to arrive in appropriate clothing, long pants and not a tank top. Those who need improvements receive clothing on loan.
Time consuming waiting in line at reception and return despite the very efficient work of the Thais. It is also required to leave a deposit of about 200 baht.
The temples are very beautiful and after we walked quite a bit and thought we were done, it turns out that this is only the part of the temples. Then we moved to the King's Palace wing. Some of the buildings are open to the public and display the collection of weapons, jewelry, photographs, etc.
Personally, I liked more the charming landscapes of Thailand, and yet you can devote half a day to it.
