Introduction to the Grand Palace: The Grand Palace is located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River. It was first built in 1782. After continuous renovation and expansion by successive kings, it is still magnificent and brings together the essence of Thai architecture, painting, sculpture and decorative arts. . The Bangkok dynasty from Rama I to Rama VIII all lived in the Grand Palace. After Rama VIII was assassinated in the palace in 1946, Rama IX moved to the newly built Jirada Palace east of the Grand Palace. Now, in addition to being used for coronation ceremonies, palace celebrations and other ceremonies and activities, the Grand Palace is usually open to the public and has become a famous tourist place in Thailand.
