Bangkok beckons: This is one summer destination you just cannot miss

EXPLORE BANGKOK

 

Visit the Grand Palace and Wat Pho

The Grand Palace should be the first in your Bangkok's list of sightseeing. Bangkok's Grand Palace was the home of the King and his court. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is Thailand's most sacred site. Visitors must be properly dressed before entering the temple. Its beauty has to be seen to be believed.  Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha), or Wat Phra Chetuphon, is located behind the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and a must-do for any first-time visitor to Bangkok. The sight of the giant reclining Buddha that measures 46 metres long covered in gold leaf is one that is immensely awe-inspiring.
