Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram
The Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram along with the Royal Pavilion, is located across the road from the Mahakan Fort in Bangkok. On the corner of Maha Chai road, and Ratchadamnoen Klang road. Construction was started in the reign of Rama III in the 19th century but was only recently completed due to the intricacy of its design. There are five towers of varying sizes, topped by huge iron spikes. The many columns create a labyrinth. The central tower has steps that lead to a shrine at the top. The amulet market behind the temple is well known around Thailand. In 1846, King Nangklao, the third monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, decreed that Wat Ratchanaddaram Worawihan was built in honour of his favourite grand daughter, Princess Somanas Wathanawadee.
The temple is best known for the Loha Prasat, a multi tiered structure 36 metre high and having 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues towards enlightenment. It is the third Loha Prasada in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chalerm Thai. The theatre was demolished in 1989 as a project to improve the scenery along Ratchadamnoen road.
Loha Prasat first started its life out in 1846 and was fashioned around an earlier Sri Lankan Temple. Originally conceived as a Chedi to compliment the Wat, it has since evolved into an elaborate Meditation Chamber. Meditation cells can be seen at intersections dissected by passages on each level of the building. They all run from north to south and from east to west. I have to say that having been in this part, its very boring, the passageways are like a maze, with very little interest to visitors.
The actual Prasat itself consists of five concentric square towers with the outer, middle and centre structures being crowned with cast iron spires hence the name Metal Castle. Supporting the towers at ground level are hefty laterite columns collectively forming an astonishing labyrinth of corridors. The Metal Castle consists of five towers, of which the outer, middle and centre tower contain large black iron spires. The outer tower is the widest, the next one smaller than the previous one, creating a pyramid like structure.

This is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. The districts nearby are Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River: Thonburi, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat. The district is sub divided into 12 sub districts
Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Wang Burapha Phirom, Wat Ratchabophit, Samran Rat, San Chaopho, Suea Sao Chingcha, Bowon Niwet, Talat Yot, Chana Songkhram, Ban Phan Thom, Bang Khun Phrom, Wat Sam Phraya.
Rattanakosin also known as Rattanakosin Island, is the historic centre of Bangkok, where most of Bangkok's must see sights can be found, including the City Pillar Shrine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, the renowned Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram,and the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, Maha Chai Rd. This is the most visited area in Bangkok due to all the historic and splendid Temples and buildings found here.
Rattanakosin was established in 1782 when King Rama I moved the Siamese capital across the river from Thonburi, starting a period in Thai history known as the Rattanakosin Period. Spending a few days in this ancient part of Bangkok, does not do it justice. There are so many traditional Buddhist temples, palaces, museums, parks and monuments, which also gives you a better understanding of the culture, history and religion of the Thai people.
Bangkok was originally moated and walled with forts at intervals along it ( built in 1783 during the reign of King Rama I ). A canal formed the moat dug at a distance of about two kilometres from the Royal Palace, leaving the river to the north of the city and rejoining it to the south. The moat was 7.2 kilometres long, and it is today called Klong Bang Lamphu and Khlong Ong Ang. Strong and solid walls were constructed along the inner side of this canal, being 3.6 metres high and 2.7 metres thick. It was broken by 16 gates and 14 forts ( Phra Sumen, Yukornton, Mahaprab, Mahakan, Mootaluog, Seurtayan, Mahachai, Charkphet, Phisua, Mahaluok, Mahayak, Phrachun, Phra-Ar-thit, and Isintorn ). Now only two forts are remaining along the former wall: Fort Mahakan and Fort Phra Sumen.
Mahakan Fort was elevated to a National Ancient Monument of Thailand by the Fine Arts Department in 1949. The government wanted to turn the area between the canal and the city wall into a park, but were met with resistance from the community that stay on that land. Now the authorities are looking into turning it into a living museum of vintage houses. I guess thinking it being the fairer method to appease the people living there.
Festivals here are very well attended due to the popularity of the area. Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13th to 15th April of each year. Khao San Road ( or Khao Sarn Road ) inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where many people, both locals and tourists, come to splash water everywhere. Another famous festival, Loi or Loy Krathong, takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar, which is Thailand's version of the lunar solar Buddhist calendar. The Chao Phraya river bank in the district, with numerous piers and Phra Sumen fort, is a popular place to come to float lanterns in the water.
Ratchadamnoen Road is often heavily decorated with lights around the King's birthday ( 5th December ) and the Queen's birthday ( 12th August ) and other major anniversaries. Sanam Luang and recently created Lan Plabpla Maha Chedsada Bodin in front of Wat Ratchanadda and its Loha Prasat are open spaces that are frequently used to celebrate various events.
King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke founded the city as the capital of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1782. Before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand, the capital city previously was Thonburi. The old city straddled the Chao Phraya, but was mainly settled on the western bank where the royal palace and other institutions were situated. When Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke established himself as king, he re-established the capital on the eastern bank, relocating the settlers to an area around Wat Sam Pluem and Wat Sampheng ( this area is now Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown ) Fortifications were ordered to be rebuilt, and canals extended to form moats around the fortified city. The inner moat, created by connecting Rong Mai Canal and Talat Canal, is now known as Khlong Khu Mueang Doem .

Saranrom Palace lies to the east of the Grand Palace. It was built towards the end of the reign of King Rama IV. After the death of King Pinklao in A.D. 1866. King Rama IV decided to give the throne to the Crown Prince who later became King Chulalongkorn, and planned to retire to this palace to live in retirement as advisor on state affairs. Unfortunately King Mongkut died in A.D. 1868 King Rama V and gave Saranrom Palace to his eldest younger brother, Prince Kroma Phra Chakrabaddibongse. Later King Chulalongkorn let another younger brother, Prince Kroma Phraya Bhanubandh Wongseworadej stay here. Afterwards this palace became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and state guests were received here.
First Office for Foreign Affairs:~ Until 1885, the residence of the Senabodi had been used as Office of Krom Tha. On obtaining his new post, Krommuen Devawongse Varopakarn submitted a request to the King for an office of his own, separate from his residence. The request was granted and royal permission given to use Saranrom Palace as the first separate Office for Foreign Affairs. Another significant change was also made, the appointment and general supervision of Thai diplomatic missions abroad, hitherto entrusted to the Prince in his capacity as Secretary General to the King, were transferred with him to the Krom Tha Office.
Seven years later, in the complete government reform of 1892 resulting in the creation of twelve ministries, based on western standards, the Krom Tha Office became a fully-fledged Ministry of Foreign Affairs both in fact and in name. Its judiciary functions and its administrative control of the seaboard provinces were respectively transferred to the Ministries of Justice and Interior. But the position of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to bear the name of Senabodi until the adoption of a constitutional regime in 1932 when it was changed to Rattamontri ( Councillor of State ) and control of foreign policy no longer rested ultimately with the King but with the executive and legislative branches of the Government.
Saranrom Palace was used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for two years. In 1887 it was moved to Sala Lukkhun Nai for three days, to a theatre which then stood in front of Sala Sahathai for one day, and then to the Rajvallop Building. It stayed there until 1926, with an interruption of one year in 1900 when it was temporarily transferred to Kasetradhikarn Building to allow thorough repairs of the former site. In 1926, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was moved back to Saranrom Palace, where it has remained to this day.
The definition of Saranrom Park is the old royal garden. Built in 1866 by King Rama IV, it was a part of Saranrom Palace located to the outside wall east of the Grand Palace. The King intended to stay at this palace after his son became king. However, he passed away before its completion. The construction was completed in the reign of King Rama V. The palace was used as a residence for many of the king's brothers while they were waiting for the completion of their own palace construction.
Later, it was used to receive royal foreign visitors, such as Prince Oscar, the son of the Swedish King in 1884 wrote about the beauty of its royal garden. King Rama V assigned Henry Alabaster, a botanical expert, to manage this royal garden. the garden was so beautiful that the royal Family often visited. It was decorated with a fountain, ornamental plants, orchids, trees and red roses, the King's favourite flower. There are also bird cages and a crocodile pond. In 1934, the crown Prince ( King Rama VI ) used this royal garden for the royal guard training program and for the centre of tradition and culture as well as innovation in the name of Tawi PanyaSamoson ( Intellectual Club ).
In the reign of King Rama VII after the change of politics, the park was used as Kanarassaranrom Club. Later, it became the Vachiravut Collage Alumni Association and Department of Public Welfare. On 3 June 1960, the government assigned BMA to develop the site to become a public park. The park comes to life in the early mornings. People living in the area of Rattanakosin Island use the park for exercise. In the morning and evening, many forms of exercise can be seen such as Taikek, Sword Dance, Club Dance and Ballroom Dancing. Outdoor activities are also promoted during the day for children such as the Natural Classroom for Art and Ecology. This reflects the role and value of this park especially in the heart of the city towards its community. With its long history of over a century, this park reflects characteristics of the Rattanakosin period. This can be seen from materials used for decoration in this park and it also reflects the King's love and sadness for his Queen consort.

Sanam Luang is an open field and public square in front of Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand. Sanam Luang is located in the Phra Nakhon district, the historical centre of Bangkok. It was written in the Royal Chronicle as follows that : "In front of Wat Mahathat, Sanam Luang lies between the Royal Palace and the Front Palace. When royal cremation was held at the Phra Men Ground, the pyre set up in the centre with the Royal Palace Pavilion to the south and the one of the Prince of the Front Palace to the north. The music from the Royal Palace and from the Palace to the Front would be played on opposite sides of Sanam Luang.
Sanam Luang was officially known as Thung Phra Men ( the royal cremation ground ) It has been used as a site for the cremation of kings, queens and high-ranking princes since the reign of King Rama I. In 1855, King Rama IV changed the name from Thung Phra Men to Thong Sanam Luang, but the name is now shortened to Sanam Luang.
Sanam Luang has been used since the time of King Rama I. It was the place for royal ceremonies and functions. Including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front, who was Rama I's brother. King Rama II followed this example of performing royal ceremonies there, including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front of his reign, who was also his beloved brother. The Royal Chronicles mention the close link between the two brothers as follow :
During the reign of King Rama III, when Thailand was engaged in a conflict with Vietnam over the Cambodian border, the King wished to demonstrate to other nations that Thailand was such a fertile, flourishing country that even the area in front of the Grand Palace was cultivated. Sanam Luang was then a normal plot of land, used for growing rice. When there was a Royal Funeral, it would be smoothed over to prepare for the event.
King Rama IV set up a place for performing the Royal Ploughing Ceremony and the Ceremony of Calling the Rain where low walls were put up and a small hall was built to place the Buddha image for the Ceremony. Pavilions and towers were built near the king's seat when he watched the ploughing ceremony. Next to the king's pavilion there was a stage where plays were performed as part of the ritual of propitiating the gods. Outside the wall there was a barn where the rice would be stored.
King Rama V enlarged Sanam Luang and pulled down all the buildings which were used for the ceremonies of former kings and it was no longer necessary to grow rice near the Royal Palace. The space was needed for the preparation of the Centennial Celebration of Bangkok in 1897 which took place soon after King Rama V's return from Europe. It was a grand celebration also corresponding with the king's fiftieth birthday. Sanam Luang was still the place for kite flying. King Rama VI again used the place in the same manner as former kings to perform various ceremonies. Also, it was used as a race-track, and golf-course since more foreigners came to visit and stay in the country.
The Fine Arts Department has listed Sanam Luang as a historic site in 1977, announced on 13 December 1977, according to the Royal Decree (book 94 part 126). The area of Sanam Luang is about 30 acres

Saranrom Park, Saranrom Rd ( near the Chao Phraya Tha Tien Pier and the Grand Palace ). This park was originally a royal garden part of the Saranrom Palace, built in 1866 by King Rama IV. He wanted to use it after he stepped down as a monarch, but died before it was completed. When King Rama V took over, he gave the palace to his younger brothers, and turned the park into a zoo. When he built the Dusit Palace in the early 20th century, he moved all the animals to the Dusit Zoo opposite the palace. The park then became a property of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before being turned into a public park in 1960. The basic layout still resembles its original design by King Rama IV. It is a lush garden created around a lake, home to glass houses, ancient trees and wooden pagodas. After work, many locals use the park for running & aerobics. At the south end of the park is a marble monument dedicated to HM Queen Sunantha Kumareerat and HRH Prince Kannaporn Phetcharat.

Phra Nakhon (Thai: พระนคร; IPA: [pʰráʔ náʔkʰɔ̄ːn]) is one of the 50 districts (Khet) of Bangkok, Thailand. It is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. Neighboring districts are (from north clockwise) Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River Thon Buri, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat.
Phra Nakhon was also the name of the Bangkok province, until it was merged in 1972 with Thonburi to form the present day Bangkok metropolis.
The district is bounded by the Chao Phraya river to the west, the Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem in the north, and Ratchadamnoen road and Khlong Ong Ang to the east. The center of Bangkok, marked by the city pillar shrine (Lak Mueang), is located in the district. Also surrounding the large free space of the Sanam Luang are the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, the National Museum in the former palace of the Vice King, and the main campus of the Thammasat University as well as the Silpakorn University. Also the temple Wat Mahathat is located there, though being one of the most important buddhistic temples in bangkok it is not really touristical attractive.

Phra Nakhon District, Wat Ratchanadda, Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok, Thailand ( 7 )Phra Nakhon District, Wat Ratchanadda, Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok, Thailand ( 7 )
Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram The Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram along with the Royal Pavilion, is located across the road from the Mahakan Fort in Bangkok. On the corner of Maha Chai road, and Ratchadamnoen Klang road. Construction was started in the reign of Rama III in the 19th century but was only recently completed due to the intricacy of its design. There are five towers of varying sizes, topped by huge iron spikes. The many columns create a labyrinth. The central tower has steps that lead to a shrine at the top. The amulet market behind the temple is well known around Thailand. In 1846, King Nangklao, the third monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, decreed that Wat Ratchanaddaram Worawihan was built in honour of his favourite grand daughter, Princess Somanas Wathanawadee. The temple is best known for the Loha Prasat, a multi tiered structure 36 metre high and having 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues towards enlightenment. It is the third Loha Prasada in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chalerm Thai. The theatre was demolished in 1989 as a project to improve the scenery along Ratchadamnoen road. Loha Prasat first started its life out in 1846 and was fashioned around an earlier Sri Lankan Temple. Originally conceived as a Chedi to compliment the Wat, it has since evolved into an elaborate Meditation Chamber. Meditation cells can be seen at intersections dissected by passages on each level of the building. They all run from north to south and from east to west. I have to say that having been in this part, its very boring, the passageways are like a maze, with very little interest to visitors. The actual Prasat itself consists of five concentric square towers with the outer, middle and centre structures being crowned with cast iron spires hence the name Metal Castle. Supporting the towers at ground level are hefty laterite columns collectively forming an astonishing labyrinth of corridors. The Metal Castle consists of five towers, of which the outer, middle and centre tower contain large black iron spires. The outer tower is the widest, the next one smaller than the previous one, creating a pyramid like structure. Open days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Opening hours 08:30 to 18:00 Address: Mahachai rd. Bowon Niwet, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200 Thailand Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin is a central tourist spot in Bangkok near to the Democracy Monument it is a pavilion or residence for the king when his majesty goes out to meet the Royal visitors.

This is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. The districts nearby are Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River: Thonburi, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat. The district is sub divided into 12 sub districts Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Wang Burapha Phirom, Wat Ratchabophit, Samran Rat, San Chaopho, Suea Sao Chingcha, Bowon Niwet, Talat Yot, Chana Songkhram, Ban Phan Thom, Bang Khun Phrom, Wat Sam Phraya. Rattanakosin also known as Rattanakosin Island, is the historic centre of Bangkok, where most of Bangkok's must see sights can be found, including the City Pillar Shrine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, the renowned Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram,and the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, Maha Chai Rd. This is the most visited area in Bangkok due to all the historic and splendid Temples and buildings found here. Rattanakosin was established in 1782 when King Rama I moved the Siamese capital across the river from Thonburi, starting a period in Thai history known as the Rattanakosin Period. Spending a few days in this ancient part of Bangkok, does not do it justice. There are so many traditional Buddhist temples, palaces, museums, parks and monuments, which also gives you a better understanding of the culture, history and religion of the Thai people. Bangkok was originally moated and walled with forts at intervals along it ( built in 1783 during the reign of King Rama I ). A canal formed the moat dug at a distance of about two kilometres from the Royal Palace, leaving the river to the north of the city and rejoining it to the south. The moat was 7.2 kilometres long, and it is today called Klong Bang Lamphu and Khlong Ong Ang. Strong and solid walls were constructed along the inner side of this canal, being 3.6 metres high and 2.7 metres thick. It was broken by 16 gates and 14 forts ( Phra Sumen, Yukornton, Mahaprab, Mahakan, Mootaluog, Seurtayan, Mahachai, Charkphet, Phisua, Mahaluok, Mahayak, Phrachun, Phra-Ar-thit, and Isintorn ). Now only two forts are remaining along the former wall: Fort Mahakan and Fort Phra Sumen. Mahakan Fort was elevated to a National Ancient Monument of Thailand by the Fine Arts Department in 1949. The government wanted to turn the area between the canal and the city wall into a park, but were met with resistance from the community that stay on that land. Now the authorities are looking into turning it into a living museum of vintage houses. I guess thinking it being the fairer method to appease the people living there. Festivals here are very well attended due to the popularity of the area. Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13th to 15th April of each year. Khao San Road ( or Khao Sarn Road ) inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where many people, both locals and tourists, come to splash water everywhere. Another famous festival, Loi or Loy Krathong, takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar, which is Thailand's version of the lunar solar Buddhist calendar. The Chao Phraya river bank in the district, with numerous piers and Phra Sumen fort, is a popular place to come to float lanterns in the water. Ratchadamnoen Road is often heavily decorated with lights around the King's birthday ( 5th December ) and the Queen's birthday ( 12th August ) and other major anniversaries. Sanam Luang and recently created Lan Plabpla Maha Chedsada Bodin in front of Wat Ratchanadda and its Loha Prasat are open spaces that are frequently used to celebrate various events. King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke founded the city as the capital of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1782. Before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand, the capital city previously was Thonburi. The old city straddled the Chao Phraya, but was mainly settled on the western bank where the royal palace and other institutions were situated. When Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke established himself as king, he re-established the capital on the eastern bank, relocating the settlers to an area around Wat Sam Pluem and Wat Sampheng ( this area is now Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown ) Fortifications were ordered to be rebuilt, and canals extended to form moats around the fortified city. The inner moat, created by connecting Rong Mai Canal and Talat Canal, is now known as Khlong Khu Mueang Doem . -

The inner moat, created by connecting Rong Mai Canal and Talat Canal, is now known as Khlong Khu Mueang Doem . -

This is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. The districts nearby are Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River: Thonburi, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat. The district is sub divided into 12 sub districts Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Wang Burapha Phirom, Wat Ratchabophit, Samran Rat, San Chaopho, Suea Sao Chingcha, Bowon Niwet, Talat Yot, Chana Songkhram, Ban Phan Thom, Bang Khun Phrom, Wat Sam Phraya. Rattanakosin also known as Rattanakosin Island, is the historic centre of Bangkok, where most of Bangkok's must see sights can be found, including the City Pillar Shrine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, the renowned Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram,and the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, Maha Chai Rd. This is the most visited area in Bangkok due to all the historic and splendid Temples and buildings found here. Rattanakosin was established in 1782 when King Rama I moved the Siamese capital across the river from Thonburi, starting a period in Thai history known as the Rattanakosin Period. Spending a few days in this ancient part of Bangkok, does not do it justice. There are so many traditional Buddhist temples, palaces, museums, parks and monuments, which also gives you a better understanding of the culture, history and religion of the Thai people. Bangkok was originally moated and walled with forts at intervals along it ( built in 1783 during the reign of King Rama I ). A canal formed the moat dug at a distance of about two kilometres from the Royal Palace, leaving the river to the north of the city and rejoining it to the south. The moat was 7.2 kilometres long, and it is today called Klong Bang Lamphu and Khlong Ong Ang. Strong and solid walls were constructed along the inner side of this canal, being 3.6 metres high and 2.7 metres thick. It was broken by 16 gates and 14 forts ( Phra Sumen, Yukornton, Mahaprab, Mahakan, Mootaluog, Seurtayan, Mahachai, Charkphet, Phisua, Mahaluok, Mahayak, Phrachun, Phra-Ar-thit, and Isintorn ). Now only two forts are remaining along the former wall: Fort Mahakan and Fort Phra Sumen. Mahakan Fort was elevated to a National Ancient Monument of Thailand by the Fine Arts Department in 1949. The government wanted to turn the area between the canal and the city wall into a park, but were met with resistance from the community that stay on that land. Now the authorities are looking into turning it into a living museum of vintage houses. I guess thinking it being the fairer method to appease the people living there. Festivals here are very well attended due to the popularity of the area. Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13th to 15th April of each year. Khao San Road ( or Khao Sarn Road ) inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where many people, both locals and tourists, come to splash water everywhere. Another famous festival, Loi or Loy Krathong, takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar, which is Thailand's version of the lunar solar Buddhist calendar. The Chao Phraya river bank in the district, with numerous piers and Phra Sumen fort, is a popular place to come to float lanterns in the water. Ratchadamnoen Road is often heavily decorated with lights around the King's birthday ( 5th December ) and the Queen's birthday ( 12th August ) and other major anniversaries. Sanam Luang and recently created Lan Plabpla Maha Chedsada Bodin in front of Wat Ratchanadda and its Loha Prasat are open spaces that are frequently used to celebrate various events. King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke founded the city as the capital of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1782. Before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand, the capital city previously was Thonburi.

Saranrom Palace lies to the east of the Grand Palace. It was built towards the end of the reign of King Rama IV. After the death of King Pinklao in A.D. 1866. King Rama IV decided to give the throne to the Crown Prince who later became King Chulalongkorn, and planned to retire to this palace to live in retirement as advisor on state affairs. Unfortunately King Mongkut died in A.D. 1868 King Rama V and gave Saranrom Palace to his eldest younger brother, Prince Kroma Phra Chakrabaddibongse. Later King Chulalongkorn let another younger brother, Prince Kroma Phraya Bhanubandh Wongseworadej stay here. Afterwards this palace became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and state guests were received here. First Office for Foreign Affairs:~ Until 1885, the residence of the Senabodi had been used as Office of Krom Tha. On obtaining his new post, Krommuen Devawongse Varopakarn submitted a request to the King for an office of his own, separate from his residence. The request was granted and royal permission given to use Saranrom Palace as the first separate Office for Foreign Affairs. Another significant change was also made, the appointment and general supervision of Thai diplomatic missions abroad, hitherto entrusted to the Prince in his capacity as Secretary General to the King, were transferred with him to the Krom Tha Office. Seven years later, in the complete government reform of 1892 resulting in the creation of twelve ministries, based on western standards, the Krom Tha Office became a fully-fledged Ministry of Foreign Affairs both in fact and in name. Its judiciary functions and its administrative control of the seaboard provinces were respectively transferred to the Ministries of Justice and Interior. But the position of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to bear the name of Senabodi until the adoption of a constitutional regime in 1932 when it was changed to Rattamontri ( Councillor of State ) and control of foreign policy no longer rested ultimately with the King but with the executive and legislative branches of the Government. Saranrom Palace was used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for two years. In 1887 it was moved to Sala Lukkhun Nai for three days, to a theatre which then stood in front of Sala Sahathai for one day, and then to the Rajvallop Building. It stayed there until 1926, with an interruption of one year in 1900 when it was temporarily transferred to Kasetradhikarn Building to allow thorough repairs of the former site. In 1926, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was moved back to Saranrom Palace, where it has remained to this day. The definition of Saranrom Park is the old royal garden. Built in 1866 by King Rama IV, it was a part of Saranrom Palace located to the outside wall east of the Grand Palace. The King intended to stay at this palace after his son became king. However, he passed away before its completion. The construction was completed in the reign of King Rama V. The palace was used as a residence for many of the king's brothers while they were waiting for the completion of their own palace construction. Later, it was used to receive royal foreign visitors, such as Prince Oscar, the son of the Swedish King in 1884 wrote about the beauty of its royal garden. King Rama V assigned Henry Alabaster, a botanical expert, to manage this royal garden. the garden was so beautiful that the royal Family often visited. It was decorated with a fountain, ornamental plants, orchids, trees and red roses, the King's favourite flower. There are also bird cages and a crocodile pond. In 1934, the crown Prince ( King Rama VI ) used this royal garden for the royal guard training program and for the centre of tradition and culture as well as innovation in the name of Tawi PanyaSamoson ( Intellectual Club ). In the reign of King Rama VII after the change of politics, the park was used as Kanarassaranrom Club. Later, it became the Vachiravut Collage Alumni Association and Department of Public Welfare. On 3 June 1960, the government assigned BMA to develop the site to become a public park. The park comes to life in the early mornings. People living in the area of Rattanakosin Island use the park for exercise. In the morning and evening, many forms of exercise can be seen such as Taikek, Sword Dance, Club Dance and Ballroom Dancing. Outdoor activities are also promoted during the day for children such as the Natural Classroom for Art and Ecology. This reflects the role and value of this park especially in the heart of the city towards its community. With its long history of over a century, this park reflects characteristics of the Rattanakosin period. This can be seen from materials used for decoration in this park and it also reflects the King's love and sadness for his Queen consort. -

Sanam Luang is an open field and public square in front of Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand. Sanam Luang is located in the Phra Nakhon district, the historical centre of Bangkok. It was written in the Royal Chronicle as follows that : "In front of Wat Mahathat, Sanam Luang lies between the Royal Palace and the Front Palace. When royal cremation was held at the Phra Men Ground, the pyre set up in the centre with the Royal Palace Pavilion to the south and the one of the Prince of the Front Palace to the north. The music from the Royal Palace and from the Palace to the Front would be played on opposite sides of Sanam Luang. Sanam Luang was officially known as Thung Phra Men ( the royal cremation ground ) It has been used as a site for the cremation of kings, queens and high-ranking princes since the reign of King Rama I. In 1855, King Rama IV changed the name from Thung Phra Men to Thong Sanam Luang, but the name is now shortened to Sanam Luang. Sanam Luang has been used since the time of King Rama I. It was the place for royal ceremonies and functions. Including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front, who was Rama I's brother. King Rama II followed this example of performing royal ceremonies there, including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front of his reign, who was also his beloved brother. The Royal Chronicles mention the close link between the two brothers as follow : During the reign of King Rama III, when Thailand was engaged in a conflict with Vietnam over the Cambodian border, the King wished to demonstrate to other nations that Thailand was such a fertile, flourishing country that even the area in front of the Grand Palace was cultivated. Sanam Luang was then a normal plot of land, used for growing rice. When there was a Royal Funeral, it would be smoothed over to prepare for the event. King Rama IV set up a place for performing the Royal Ploughing Ceremony and the Ceremony of Calling the Rain where low walls were put up and a small hall was built to place the Buddha image for the Ceremony. Pavilions and towers were built near the king's seat when he watched the ploughing ceremony. Next to the king's pavilion there was a stage where plays were performed as part of the ritual of propitiating the gods. Outside the wall there was a barn where the rice would be stored. King Rama V enlarged Sanam Luang and pulled down all the buildings which were used for the ceremonies of former kings and it was no longer necessary to grow rice near the Royal Palace. The space was needed for the preparation of the Centennial Celebration of Bangkok in 1897 which took place soon after King Rama V's return from Europe. It was a grand celebration also corresponding with the king's fiftieth birthday. Sanam Luang was still the place for kite flying. King Rama VI again used the place in the same manner as former kings to perform various ceremonies. Also, it was used as a race-track, and golf-course since more foreigners came to visit and stay in the country. The Fine Arts Department has listed Sanam Luang as a historic site in 1977, announced on 13 December 1977, according to the Royal Decree (book 94 part 126). The area of Sanam Luang is about 30 acres -

It is a lush garden created around a lake, home to glass houses, ancient trees and wooden pagodas. After work, many locals use the park for running & aerobics.

Outdoor activities are also promoted during the day for children such as the Natural Classroom for Art and Ecology. This reflects the role and value of this park especially in the heart of the city towards its community. With its long history of over a century, this park reflects characteristics of the Rattanakosin period. This can be seen from materials used for decoration in this park and it also reflects the King's love and sadness for his Queen consort. -

Saranrom Park, Saranrom Rd ( near the Chao Phraya Tha Tien Pier and the Grand Palace ). This park was originally a royal garden part of the Saranrom Palace, built in 1866 by King Rama IV. He wanted to use it after he stepped down as a monarch, but died before it was completed. When King Rama V took over, he gave the palace to his younger brothers, and turned the park into a zoo. When he built the Dusit Palace in the early 20th century, he moved all the animals to the Dusit Zoo opposite the palace. The park then became a property of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before being turned into a public park in 1960. The basic layout still resembles its original design by King Rama IV. It is a lush garden created around a lake, home to glass houses, ancient trees and wooden pagodas. After work, many locals use the park for running & aerobics. At the south end of the park is a marble monument dedicated to HM Queen Sunantha Kumareerat and HRH Prince Kannaporn Phetcharat. The definition of Saranrom Park is the old royal garden. Built in 1866 by King Rama IV, it was a part of Saranrom Palace located to the outside wall east of the Grand Palace. The King intended to stay at this palace after his son became king. However, he passed away before its completion. The construction was completed in the reign of King Rama V. The palace was used as a residence for many of the king's brothers while they were waiting for the completion of their own palace construction. Later, it was used to receive royal foreign visitors, such as Prince Oscar, the son of the Swedish King in 1884 who wrote about the beauty of its royal garden. King Rama V assigned Henry Alabaster, a botanical expert, to manage this royal garden. the garden was so beautiful that the royal Family often visited. It was decorated with a fountain, ornamental plants, orchids, trees and red roses, the King's favourite flower. There are also aviaries and a crocodile pond. In 1934, the crown Prince ( King Rama VI ) used this royal garden for the royal guard training program and for the centre of tradition and culture as well as innovation in the name of Tawi PanyaSamoson ( Intellectual Club ). The park comes to life in the early mornings. People living in the area of Rattanakosin Island use the park for exercise. In the morning and evening, many forms of exercise can be seen such as Taikek, Sword Dance, Club Dance and Ballroom Dancing.

The Giant Swing, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand.
The Giant Swing is a religious structure in Bangkok, Thailand, Phra Nakhon district, located in front of Wat Suthat temple. It was formerly used an old Brahmin ceremony, and is one of Bangkok's tourist attractions. The Giant Swing was originally constructed in 1784 in front of the Devasathan shrine by King Rama I. During the reign of Rama II the swing ceremony was discontinued as the swing had become structurally damaged by lightning. In 1920 it was renovated and moved to its current location in order to make space for a gas plant. The ceremony was again performed until 1935, when it was discontinued after several fatal accidents. The last renovations were done in 1959, and after 45 years of exposure to the elements the wooden pillars were showing signs of serious damage. A major reconst... -

The Grand Palace. I would say that the main attraction in Bangkok has to be the spectacular Grand Palace, it is a complex of buildings at the heart of Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam ( and later Thailand ) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. Construction of the palace began on 6th May 1782, by the order of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke ( Rama I ), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. This area however was already occupied by Chinese merchants who he promptly asked to relocate to the present day China Town also known as Yaowarat area. Having been here four times now, the novelty has worn off for me. Bu... -

Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram
The Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram along with the Royal Pavilion, is located across the road from the Mahakan Fort in Bangkok. On the corner of Maha Chai road, and Ratchadamnoen Klang road. Construction was started in the reign of Rama III in the 19th century but was only recently completed due to the intricacy of its design. There are five towers of varying sizes, topped by huge iron spikes. The many columns create a labyrinth. The central tower has steps that lead to a shrine at the top. The amulet market behind the temple is well known around Thailand. In 1846, King Nangklao, the third monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, decreed that Wat Ratchanaddaram Worawihan was built in honour of his favourite grand daughter, Princess Somanas Wathanawadee.
The temple is best known for the Loha Prasat, a multi tiered structure 36 metre high and having 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues towards enlightenment. It is the third Loha Prasada in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chalerm Thai. The theatre was demolished in 1989 as a project to improve the scenery along Ratchadamnoen road.
Loha Prasat first started its life out in 1846 and was fashioned around an earlier Sri Lankan Temple. Originally conceived as a Chedi to compliment the Wat, it has since evolved into an elaborate Meditation Chamber. Meditation cells can be seen at intersections dissected by passages on each level of the building. They all run from north to south and from east to west. I have to say that having been in this part, its very boring, the passageways are like a maze, with very little interest to visitors.
The actual Prasat itself consists of five concentric square towers with the outer, middle and centre structures being crowned with cast iron spires hence the name Metal Castle. Supporting the towers at ground level are hefty laterite columns collectively forming an astonishing labyrinth of corridors. The Metal Castle consists of five towers, of which the outer, middle and centre tower contain large black iron spires. The outer tower is the widest, the next one smaller than the previous one, creating a pyramid like structure.

It is the third Loha Prasada in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chalerm Thai. The theatre was demolished in 1989 as a project to improve the scenery along Ratchadamnoen road.
Loha Prasat first started its life out in 1846 and was fashioned around an earlier Sri Lankan Temple. Originally conceived as a Chedi to compliment the Wat, it has since evolved into an elaborate Meditation Chamber. Meditation cells can be seen at intersections dissected by passages on each level of the building. They all run from north to south and from east to west. I have to say that having been in this part, its very boring, the passageways are like a maze, with very little interest to visitors.
The actual Prasat itself consists of five concentric square towers with the outer, middle and centre structures being crowned with cast iron spires hence the name Metal Castle. Supporting the towers at ground level are hefty laterite columns collectively forming an astonishing labyrinth of corridors. The Metal Castle consists of five towers, of which the outer, middle and centre tower contain large black iron spires. The outer tower is the widest, the next one smaller than the previous one, creating a pyramid like structure.

Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram
The Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram along with the Royal Pavilion, is located across the road from the Mahakan Fort in Bangkok. On the corner of Maha Chai road, and Ratchadamnoen Klang road. Construction was started in the reign of Rama III in the 19th century but was only recently completed due to the intricacy of its design. There are five towers of varying sizes, topped by huge iron spikes. The many columns create a labyrinth. The central tower has steps that lead to a shrine at the top. The amulet market behind the temple is well known around Thailand. In 1846, King Nangklao, the third monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, decreed that Wat Ratchanaddaram Worawihan was built in honour of his favourite grand daughter, Princess Somanas Wathanawadee.
The temple is best known for the Loha Prasat, a multi tiered structure 36 metre high and having 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues towards enlightenment. It is the third Loha Prasada in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chalerm Thai.

This is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. The districts nearby are Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River: Thonburi, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat. The district is sub divided into 12 sub districts
Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Wang Burapha Phirom, Wat Ratchabophit, Samran Rat, San Chaopho, Suea Sao Chingcha, Bowon Niwet, Talat Yot, Chana Songkhram, Ban Phan Thom, Bang Khun Phrom, Wat Sam Phraya.
Rattanakosin also known as Rattanakosin Island, is the historic centre of Bangkok, where most of Bangkok's must see sights can be found, including the City Pillar Shrine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, the renowned Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram,and the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, Maha Chai Rd. This is the most visited area in Bangkok due to all the historic and splendid Temples and buildings found here.
Rattanakosin was established in 1782 when King Rama I moved the Siamese capital across the river from Thonburi, starting a period in Thai history known as the Rattanakosin Period. Spending a few days in this ancient part of Bangkok, does not do it justice. There are so many traditional Buddhist temples, palaces, museums, parks and monuments, which also gives you a better understanding of the culture, history and religion of the Thai people.
Bangkok was originally moated and walled with forts at intervals along it ( built in 1783 during the reign of King Rama I ). A canal formed the moat dug at a distance of about two kilometres from the Royal Palace, leaving the river to the north of the city and rejoining it to the south. The moat was 7.2 kilometres long, and it is today called Klong Bang Lamphu and Khlong Ong Ang. Strong and solid walls were constructed along the inner side of this canal, being 3.6 metres high and 2.7 metres thick. It was broken by 16 gates and 14 forts ( Phra Sumen, Yukornton, Mahaprab, Mahakan, Mootaluog, Seurtayan, Mahachai, Charkphet, Phisua, Mahaluok, Mahayak, Phrachun, Phra-Ar-thit, and Isintorn ). Now only two forts are remaining along the former wall: Fort Mahakan and Fort Phra Sumen.
Mahakan Fort was elevated to a National Ancient Monument of Thailand by the Fine Arts Department in 1949. The government wanted to turn the area between the canal and the city wall into a park, but were met with resistance from the community that stay on that land. Now the authorities are looking into turning it into a living museum of vintage houses. I guess thinking it being the fairer method to appease the people living there.
Festivals here are very well attended due to the popularity of the area. Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13th to 15th April of each year. Khao San Road ( or Khao Sarn Road ) inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where many people, both locals and tourists, come to splash water everywhere. Another famous festival, Loi or Loy Krathong, takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar, which is Thailand's version of the lunar solar Buddhist calendar. The Chao Phraya river bank in the district, with numerous piers and Phra Sumen fort, is a popular place to come to float lanterns in the water.
Ratchadamnoen Road is often heavily decorated with lights around the King's birthday ( 5th December ) and the Queen's birthday ( 12th August ) and other major anniversaries. Sanam Luang and recently created Lan Plabpla Maha Chedsada Bodin in front of Wat Ratchanadda and its Loha Prasat are open spaces that are frequently used to celebrate various events.
King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke founded the city as the capital of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1782. Before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand, the capital city previously was Thonburi. The old city straddled the Chao Phraya, but was mainly settled on the western bank where the royal palace and other institutions were situated. When Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke established himself as king, he re-established the capital on the eastern bank, relocating the settlers to an area around Wat Sam Pluem and Wat Sampheng ( this area is now Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown ) Fortifications were ordered to be rebuilt, and canals extended to form moats around the fortified city. The inner moat, created by connecting Rong Mai Canal and Talat Canal, is now known as Khlong Khu Mueang Doem .

The moat was 7.2 kilometres long, and it is today called Klong Bang Lamphu and Khlong Ong Ang. Strong and solid walls were constructed along the inner side of this canal, being 3.6 metres high and 2.7 metres thick. It was broken by 16 gates and 14 forts ( Phra Sumen, Yukornton, Mahaprab, Mahakan, Mootaluog, Seurtayan, Mahachai, Charkphet, Phisua, Mahaluok, Mahayak, Phrachun, Phra-Ar-thit, and Isintorn ). Now only two forts are remaining along the former wall: Fort Mahakan and Fort Phra Sumen.
Mahakan Fort was elevated to a National Ancient Monument of Thailand by the Fine Arts Department in 1949. The government wanted to turn the area between the canal and the city wall into a park, but were met with resistance from the community that stay on that land. Now the authorities are looking into turning it into a living museum of vintage houses. I guess thinking it being the fairer method to appease the people living there.
Festivals here are very well attended due to the popularity of the area. Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13th to 15th April of each year. Khao San Road ( or Khao Sarn Road ) inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where many people, both locals and tourists, come to splash water everywhere. Another famous festival, Loi or Loy Krathong, takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar, which is Thailand's version of the lunar solar Buddhist calendar. The Chao Phraya river bank in the district, with numerous piers and Phra Sumen fort, is a popular place to come to float lanterns in the water.
Ratchadamnoen Road is often heavily decorated with lights around the King's birthday ( 5th December ) and the Queen's birthday ( 12th August ) and other major anniversaries. Sanam Luang and recently created Lan Plabpla Maha Chedsada Bodin in front of Wat Ratchanadda and its Loha Prasat are open spaces that are frequently used to celebrate various events.
King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke founded the city as the capital of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1782. Before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand, the capital city previously was Thonburi. The old city straddled the Chao Phraya, but was mainly settled on the western bank where the royal palace and other institutions were situated. When Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke established himself as king, he re-established the capital on the eastern bank, relocating the settlers to an area around Wat Sam Pluem and Wat Sampheng ( this area is now Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown ) Fortifications were ordered to be rebuilt, and canals extended to form moats around the fortified city. The inner moat, created by connecting Rong Mai Canal and Talat Canal, is now known as Khlong Khu Mueang Doem .

This is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. The districts nearby are Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River: Thonburi, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat. The district is sub divided into 12 sub districts
Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Wang Burapha Phirom, Wat Ratchabophit, Samran Rat, San Chaopho, Suea Sao Chingcha, Bowon Niwet, Talat Yot, Chana Songkhram, Ban Phan Thom, Bang Khun Phrom, Wat Sam Phraya.
Rattanakosin also known as Rattanakosin Island, is the historic centre of Bangkok, where most of Bangkok's must see sights can be found, including the City Pillar Shrine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, the renowned Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram,and the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, Maha Chai Rd. This is the most visited area in Bangkok due to all the historic and splendid Temples and buildings found here.
Rattanakosin was established in 1782 when King Rama I moved the Siamese capital across the river from Thonburi, starting a period in Thai history known as the Rattanakosin Period. Spending a few days in this ancient part of Bangkok, does not do it justice. There are so many traditional Buddhist temples, palaces, museums, parks and monuments, which also gives you a better understanding of the culture, history and religion of the Thai people.

Saranrom Palace lies to the east of the Grand Palace. It was built towards the end of the reign of King Rama IV. After the death of King Pinklao in A.D. 1866. King Rama IV decided to give the throne to the Crown Prince who later became King Chulalongkorn, and planned to retire to this palace to live in retirement as advisor on state affairs. Unfortunately King Mongkut died in A.D. 1868 King Rama V and gave Saranrom Palace to his eldest younger brother, Prince Kroma Phra Chakrabaddibongse. Later King Chulalongkorn let another younger brother, Prince Kroma Phraya Bhanubandh Wongseworadej stay here. Afterwards this palace became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and state guests were received here.
First Office for Foreign Affairs:~ Until 1885, the residence of the Senabodi had been used as Office of Krom Tha. On obtaining his new post, Krommuen Devawongse Varopakarn submitted a request to the King for an office of his own, separate from his residence. The request was granted and royal permission given to use Saranrom Palace as the first separate Office for Foreign Affairs. Another significant change was also made, the appointment and general supervision of Thai diplomatic missions abroad, hitherto entrusted to the Prince in his capacity as Secretary General to the King, were transferred with him to the Krom Tha Office.
Seven years later, in the complete government reform of 1892 resulting in the creation of twelve ministries, based on western standards, the Krom Tha Office became a fully-fledged Ministry of Foreign Affairs both in fact and in name. Its judiciary functions and its administrative control of the seaboard provinces were respectively transferred to the Ministries of Justice and Interior. But the position of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to bear the name of Senabodi until the adoption of a constitutional regime in 1932 when it was changed to Rattamontri ( Councillor of State ) and control of foreign policy no longer rested ultimately with the King but with the executive and legislative branches of the Government.
Saranrom Palace was used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for two years. In 1887 it was moved to Sala Lukkhun Nai for three days, to a theatre which then stood in front of Sala Sahathai for one day, and then to the Rajvallop Building. It stayed there until 1926, with an interruption of one year in 1900 when it was temporarily transferred to Kasetradhikarn Building to allow thorough repairs of the former site. In 1926, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was moved back to Saranrom Palace, where it has remained to this day.
The definition of Saranrom Park is the old royal garden. Built in 1866 by King Rama IV, it was a part of Saranrom Palace located to the outside wall east of the Grand Palace. The King intended to stay at this palace after his son became king. However, he passed away before its completion. The construction was completed in the reign of King Rama V. The palace was used as a residence for many of the king's brothers while they were waiting for the completion of their own palace construction.
Later, it was used to receive royal foreign visitors, such as Prince Oscar, the son of the Swedish King in 1884 wrote about the beauty of its royal garden. King Rama V assigned Henry Alabaster, a botanical expert, to manage this royal garden. the garden was so beautiful that the royal Family often visited. It was decorated with a fountain, ornamental plants, orchids, trees and red roses, the King's favourite flower. There are also bird cages and a crocodile pond. In 1934, the crown Prince ( King Rama VI ) used this royal garden for the royal guard training program and for the centre of tradition and culture as well as innovation in the name of Tawi PanyaSamoson ( Intellectual Club ).
In the reign of King Rama VII after the change of politics, the park was used as Kanarassaranrom Club. Later, it became the Vachiravut Collage Alumni Association and Department of Public Welfare. On 3 June 1960, the government assigned BMA to develop the site to become a public park. The park comes to life in the early mornings. People living in the area of Rattanakosin Island use the park for exercise. In the morning and evening, many forms of exercise can be seen such as Taikek, Sword Dance, Club Dance and Ballroom Dancing. Outdoor activities are also promoted during the day for children such as the Natural Classroom for Art and Ecology. This reflects the role and value of this park especially in the heart of the city towards its community. With its long history of over a century, this park reflects characteristics of the Rattanakosin period. This can be seen from materials used for decoration in this park and it also reflects the King's love and sadness for his Queen consort.

On obtaining his new post, Krommuen Devawongse Varopakarn submitted a request to the King for an office of his own, separate from his residence. The request was granted and royal permission given to use Saranrom Palace as the first separate Office for Foreign Affairs. Another significant change was also made, the appointment and general supervision of Thai diplomatic missions abroad, hitherto entrusted to the Prince in his capacity as Secretary General to the King, were transferred with him to the Krom Tha Office.
Seven years later, in the complete government reform of 1892 resulting in the creation of twelve ministries, based on western standards, the Krom Tha Office became a fully-fledged Ministry of Foreign Affairs both in fact and in name. Its judiciary functions and its administrative control of the seaboard provinces were respectively transferred to the Ministries of Justice and Interior. But the position of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued to bear the name of Senabodi until the adoption of a constitutional regime in 1932 when it was changed to Rattamontri ( Councillor of State ) and control of foreign policy no longer rested ultimately with the King but with the executive and legislative branches of the Government.
Saranrom Palace was used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for two years. In 1887 it was moved to Sala Lukkhun Nai for three days, to a theatre which then stood in front of Sala Sahathai for one day, and then to the Rajvallop Building. It stayed there until 1926, with an interruption of one year in 1900 when it was temporarily transferred to Kasetradhikarn Building to allow thorough repairs of the former site. In 1926, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was moved back to Saranrom Palace, where it has remained to this day.
The definition of Saranrom Park is the old royal garden. Built in 1866 by King Rama IV, it was a part of Saranrom Palace located to the outside wall east of the Grand Palace. The King intended to stay at this palace after his son became king. However, he passed away before its completion. The construction was completed in the reign of King Rama V. The palace was used as a residence for many of the king's brothers while they were waiting for the completion of their own palace construction.
Later, it was used to receive royal foreign visitors, such as Prince Oscar, the son of the Swedish King in 1884 wrote about the beauty of its royal garden. King Rama V assigned Henry Alabaster, a botanical expert, to manage this royal garden. the garden was so beautiful that the royal Family often visited. It was decorated with a fountain, ornamental plants, orchids, trees and red roses, the King's favourite flower. There are also bird cages and a crocodile pond. In 1934, the crown Prince ( King Rama VI ) used this royal garden for the royal guard training program and for the centre of tradition and culture as well as innovation in the name of Tawi PanyaSamoson ( Intellectual Club ).
In the reign of King Rama VII after the change of politics, the park was used as Kanarassaranrom Club. Later, it became the Vachiravut Collage Alumni Association and Department of Public Welfare. On 3 June 1960, the government assigned BMA to develop the site to become a public park. The park comes to life in the early mornings. People living in the area of Rattanakosin Island use the park for exercise. In the morning and evening, many forms of exercise can be seen such as Taikek, Sword Dance, Club Dance and Ballroom Dancing. Outdoor activities are also promoted during the day for children such as the Natural Classroom for Art and Ecology. This reflects the role and value of this park especially in the heart of the city towards its community. With its long history of over a century, this park reflects characteristics of the Rattanakosin period. This can be seen from materials used for decoration in this park and it also reflects the King's love and sadness for his Queen consort.

Sanam Luang is an open field and public square in front of Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand. Sanam Luang is located in the Phra Nakhon district, the historical centre of Bangkok. It was written in the Royal Chronicle as follows that : "In front of Wat Mahathat, Sanam Luang lies between the Royal Palace and the Front Palace. When royal cremation was held at the Phra Men Ground, the pyre set up in the centre with the Royal Palace Pavilion to the south and the one of the Prince of the Front Palace to the north. The music from the Royal Palace and from the Palace to the Front would be played on opposite sides of Sanam Luang.
Sanam Luang was officially known as Thung Phra Men ( the royal cremation ground ) It has been used as a site for the cremation of kings, queens and high-ranking princes since the reign of King Rama I. In 1855, King Rama IV changed the name from Thung Phra Men to Thong Sanam Luang, but the name is now shortened to Sanam Luang.
Sanam Luang has been used since the time of King Rama I. It was the place for royal ceremonies and functions. Including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front, who was Rama I's brother. King Rama II followed this example of performing royal ceremonies there, including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front of his reign, who was also his beloved brother. The Royal Chronicles mention the close link between the two brothers as follow :
During the reign of King Rama III, when Thailand was engaged in a conflict with Vietnam over the Cambodian border, the King wished to demonstrate to other nations that Thailand was such a fertile, flourishing country that even the area in front of the Grand Palace was cultivated. Sanam Luang was then a normal plot of land, used for growing rice. When there was a Royal Funeral, it would be smoothed over to prepare for the event.
King Rama IV set up a place for performing the Royal Ploughing Ceremony and the Ceremony of Calling the Rain where low walls were put up and a small hall was built to place the Buddha image for the Ceremony. Pavilions and towers were built near the king's seat when he watched the ploughing ceremony. Next to the king's pavilion there was a stage where plays were performed as part of the ritual of propitiating the gods. Outside the wall there was a barn where the rice would be stored.
King Rama V enlarged Sanam Luang and pulled down all the buildings which were used for the ceremonies of former kings and it was no longer necessary to grow rice near the Royal Palace. The space was needed for the preparation of the Centennial Celebration of Bangkok in 1897 which took place soon after King Rama V's return from Europe. It was a grand celebration also corresponding with the king's fiftieth birthday. Sanam Luang was still the place for kite flying. King Rama VI again used the place in the same manner as former kings to perform various ceremonies. Also, it was used as a race-track, and golf-course since more foreigners came to visit and stay in the country.
The Fine Arts Department has listed Sanam Luang as a historic site in 1977, announced on 13 December 1977, according to the Royal Decree (book 94 part 126). The area of Sanam Luang is about 30 acres

When he built the Dusit Palace in the early 20th century, he moved all the animals to the Dusit Zoo opposite the palace. The park then became a property of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before being turned into a public park in 1960. The basic layout still resembles its original design by King Rama IV. It is a lush garden created around a lake, home to glass houses, ancient trees and wooden pagodas. After work, many locals use the park for running & aerobics. At the south end of the park is a marble monument dedicated to HM Queen Sunantha Kumareerat and HRH Prince Kannaporn Phetcharat.

The park then became a property of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before being turned into a public park in 1960. The basic layout still resembles its original design by King Rama IV. It is a lush garden created around a lake, home to glass houses, ancient trees and wooden pagodas. After work, many locals use the park for running & aerobics. At the south end of the park is a marble monument dedicated to HM Queen Sunantha Kumareerat and HRH Prince Kannaporn Phetcharat.
The definition of Saranrom Park is the old royal garden. Built in 1866 by King Rama IV, it was a part of Saranrom Palace located to the outside wall east of the Grand Palace. The King intended to stay at this palace after his son became king. However, he passed away before its completion. The construction was completed in the reign of King Rama V. The palace was used as a residence for many of the king's brothers while they were waiting for the completion of their own palace construction.
Later, it was used to receive royal foreign visitors, such as Prince Oscar, the son of the Swedish King in 1884 who wrote about the beauty of its royal garden. King Rama V assigned Henry Alabaster, a botanical expert, to manage this royal garden. the garden was so beautiful that the royal Family often visited. It was decorated with a fountain, ornamental plants, orchids, trees and red roses, the King's favourite flower. There are also aviaries and a crocodile pond. In 1934, the crown Prince ( King Rama VI ) used this royal garden for the royal guard training program and for the centre of tradition and culture as well as innovation in the name of Tawi PanyaSamoson ( Intellectual Club ).
The park comes to life in the early mornings. People living in the area of Rattanakosin Island use the park for exercise. In the morning and evening, many forms of exercise can be seen such as Taikek, Sword Dance, Club Dance and Ballroom Dancing. Outdoor activities are also promoted during the day for children such as the Natural Classroom for Art and Ecology. This reflects the role and value of this park especially in the heart of the city towards its community. With its long history of over a century, this park reflects characteristics of the Rattanakosin period. This can be seen from materials used for decoration in this park and it also reflects the King's love and sadness for his Queen consort.

This has got to be my most favourite place around Bangkok. It is home to many of the major temples, and items of value for sight seeing. It is the central district of Bangkok, which includes Rattanakosin Island.
The districts nearby are Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River: Thonburi, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat. The district is sub divided into 12 sub districts Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Wang Burapha Phirom, Wat Ratchabophit, Samran Rat, San Chaopho, Suea Sao Chingcha, Bowon Niwet, Talat Yot, Chana Songkhram, Ban Phan Thom, Bang Khun Phrom, Wat Sam Phraya.
Rattanakosin also known as Rattanakosin Island, is the historic centre of Bangkok, where most of Bangkok's must see sights can be found, including the City Pillar Shrine, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, the famous Grand Palace and Wat Pho, Wat Ratchanadda ( The Loha Prasat ) or Wat Ratchanaddaram,and the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, Maha Chai Rd. This is the most visited area in Bangkok due to all the historic and splendid Temples and buildings found here.
Rattanakosin was established in 1782 when King Rama I moved the Siamese capital across the river from Thonburi, starting a period in Thai history known as the Rattanakosin Period. Spending a few days in this ancient part of Bangkok, does not do it justice. There are so many traditional Buddhist temples, palaces, museums, parks and monuments, which also gives you a better understanding of the culture, history and religion of the Thai people.
Festivals here are very well attended due to the popularity of the area. Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13th to 15th April of each year. Khao San Road inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where many people, both locals and tourists, come to splash water everywhere.

The Giant Swing is a religious structure in Bangkok, Thailand, Phra Nakhon district, located in front of Wat Suthat temple. It was formerly used an old Brahmin ceremony, and is one of Bangkok's tourist attractions.
The Giant Swing was originally constructed in 1784 in front of the Devasathan shrine by King Rama I. During the reign of Rama II the swing ceremony was discontinued as the swing had become structurally damaged by lightning. In 1920 it was renovated and moved to its current location in order to make space for a gas plant. The ceremony was again performed until 1935, when it was discontinued after several fatal accidents.
The last renovations were done in 1959, and after 45 years of exposure to the elements the wooden pillars were showing signs of serious damage. A major reconstruction began in April 2005. Six teak tree trunks were used. The two used for the main structure of the swing are over 3.5metres in circumference and over 30metres in height. The remaining four are used for support and are 2.30metres in circumference and 20metres in height. The swing was taken down in late October 2006 and the work finished late December of the same year. The rebuilt swing was dedicated in royal ceremonies presided over by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej in September 2007. The timbers of the original swing are preserved in the National Museum.
In 2005, the Giant Swing, together with Wat Suthat, was suggested as a future UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Grand Palace.
I would say that the main attraction in Bangkok has to be the spectacular Grand Palace, it is a complex of buildings at the heart of Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam ( and later Thailand ) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. Construction of the palace began on 6th May 1782, by the order of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke ( Rama I ), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. This area however was already occupied by Chinese merchants who he promptly asked to relocate to the present day China Town also known as Yaowarat area.
Having been here four times now, the novelty has worn off for me. But that does not deter from the sheer beauty of this attraction. This is the Place to visit, so be prepared for many crowds, due to its popularity many first time visitors to Thailand make this their first port of call. The present King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his Queen Sirikit along with his family still use this for many events in their busy calendar.
Unfortunately because this is the main attraction in Bangkok, sadly you will find the greatest number of con men and scammers or touts. They will try everything to part you from your money, from saying the palace is closed, to saying your dress code is all wrong. Royal Thai Army soldiers, from the 1st Infantry Regiment, King's Own Bodyguard guard the Palace, simply go to the main gate and ask them. They will soon inform you whether you can enter or not. The dress code problem can be easily solved by crossing the road and hiring what you need to cover up Tattoos or bare arms etc. There are several shops catering for the hiring out of clothes to gain access to the Grand Palace. You will find the dress code for Temples is rigidly applied here. The reason they use the Grand Palace is closed con is that they hope to coerce you into buying a river trip and some other trip around Bangkok to buy items that they get paid commission on.
Visitors are requested to be dressed properly and appropriately on entering the grounds of the Grand Palace. These are the guide lines for attire within this Palace.
Shorts, mini skirts, short skirts, tight fitting trousers, as well as tights cannot be worn as outer garments.
See through shirts and blouses, as well as culottes or quarter length trousers cannot be worn.

The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam ( and later Thailand ) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. Construction of the palace began on 6th May 1782, by the order of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke ( Rama I ), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. This area however was already occupied by Chinese merchants who he promptly asked to relocate to the present day China Town also known as Yaowarat area.
Having been here four times now, the novelty has worn off for me. But that does not deter from the sheer beauty of this attraction. This is the Place to visit, so be prepared for many crowds, due to its popularity many first time visitors to Thailand make this their first port of call. The present King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his Queen Sirikit along with his family still use this for many events in their busy calendar.
Unfortunately because this is the main attraction in Bangkok, sadly you will find the greatest number of con men and scammers or touts. They will try everything to part you from your money, from saying the palace is closed, to saying your dress code is all wrong. Royal Thai Army soldiers, from the 1st Infantry Regiment, King's Own Bodyguard guard the Palace, simply go to the main gate and ask them. They will soon inform you whether you can enter or not. The dress code problem can be easily solved by crossing the road and hiring what you need to cover up Tattoos or bare arms etc. There are several shops catering for the hiring out of clothes to gain access to the Grand Palace. You will find the dress code for Temples is rigidly applied here. The reason they use the Grand Palace is closed con is that they hope to coerce you into buying a river trip and some other trip around Bangkok to buy items that they get paid commission on.
Visitors are requested to be dressed properly and appropriately on entering the grounds of the Grand Palace. These are the guide lines for attire within this Palace.
Shorts, mini skirts, short skirts, tight fitting trousers, as well as tights cannot be worn as outer garments.
See through shirts and blouses, as well as culottes or quarter length trousers cannot be worn.

วัดพระแก้ว [Wat Phra Kaew]
Wat Phra Kaew : Temple of the Emerald Buddha; full official name Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram, is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple (wat) inThailand. It is a "potent religion-political symbol and the palladium (protective image) of Thai society". It is located in Phra Nakhon District, the historic centre of Bangkok, within the precincts of the Grand Palace.
The main building is the central phra ubosot, which houses the statue of the Emerald Buddha. The legendary history of this Buddha image is traced to India, five centuries after Gautama Buddha attained Nirvana, until it was finally enshrined in Bangkok at the Wat Phra Kaew temple in 1782 during the reign of Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, King Rama I (1782–1809). This marked the beginning of the Chakri Dynasty of Thailand (the present head of the dynasty is Bhumibol Adulyadej, King Rama IX.) The Emerald Buddha, a dark green statue, is in a standing form, about 66 centimetres (26 in) tall, carved from a single jade stone ("emerald" in Thai means deep green colour and not the specific stone). It is carved in the meditating posture in the style of the Lanna school of the northern Thailand. Except for the Thai King, no other person is allowed to touch the statue. The King changes the cloak around the statue three times a year, corresponding to the summer, winter, and rainy seasons, an important ritual performed to usher good fortune to the country during each season.
While legend traces this statue to India, its rich historical records dates its finding in Cambodia in the 15th century, moved to Laos in the 16th century and then toVientiane where it remained for 215 years, and finally to Thailand in the 18th century. Considering the long history and the prophecy of the sage Nagasena that the Emerald Buddha would bring "prosperity and pre-eminence to each country in which it resides", the Emerald Buddha deified in the Wat Phra Kaew is deeply revered and venerated in Thailand as the protector of the country.
The Grand Palace is a complex of buildings at the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam (and later Thailand) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. The present monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), currently resides at Chitralada Palace, but the Grand Palace is still used for official events. Several royal ceremonies and state functions are held within the walls of the palace every year. The palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand.

Several royal ceremonies and state functions are held within the walls of the palace every year. The palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand.
วัดโพธ์ [Wat Pho]
Wat Pho is a Buddhist temple in Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok, Thailand. It is located in the Rattanakosin district directly adjacent to the Grand Palace.

ถนนข้าวสาร [Khaosan Road], อนุสาวรีย์ประชาธิปไตย [Democracy Monument] and China town.
ถนนข้าวสาร [Khaosan Road]
Khaosan Road or Khao San Road is a short street in central Bangkok, Thailand. It is in the Banglamphu area of (Phra Nakhon district) about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew.
"Khaosan" translates as "milled rice", a reminder that in former times the street was a major Bangkok rice market. In the last 20 years, however, Khaosan Road has developed into a world famous "backpacker ghetto". It offers cheap accommodation, ranging from "mattress in a box" style hotels to reasonably priced 3-star hotels. In an essay on the backpacker culture of Khaosan Road, Susan Orlean called it "the place to disappear".
Khaosan shops sell handcrafts, paintings, clothes, local fruits, pirated CDs, DVDs, a wide range of fake IDs, used books, plus many useful backpacker items.
During late evening, the streets turn into bars and music is played, food hawkers sell barbecued insects, exotic snacks for tourists, and there are also locals flogging ping pong shows.
There are several pubs and bars where backpackers meet to discuss their travels. The area is internationally known as a center of dancing, partying, and just prior to the traditional Thai New Year (Songkran festival) of 13-15 April, water splashing that usually turns into a huge water fight. One Thai writer has described Khaosan as "...a short road that has the longest dream in the world
อนุสาวรีย์ประชาธิปไตย [Democracy Monument]
Circled by perpetual swarms of traffic, the Democracy Monument on Ratchadamnoen Road is a large Western-style symbol of Thailand's adoption of democracy and liberty. Field Marshall Plaek Pibulsonggram commissioned it to commemorate the June 1932 military coup that led to the country's first democratic constitution in place of absolute rule. He intended the monument to be the equivalent of the Arc de Triomphe, its European style a symbol of a newly invigorated Bangkok complete with similar Western freedoms.
Like most monuments built in a spirit of self-congratulation, however, it came to resemble propaganda more then a celebration of a remarkable democratic awakening. By the time it was built in 1939, the regime had turned autocratic, factions in the regime leading to what was in effect a military dictatorship. Since then, however, it has gained a legitimacy it once lacked, pro-democracy demonstrators using it as a rallying point in 1973, 1976 and 1992.
Designed by Italian-born Thai citizen Corrado Feroci (who later adopted the Thai name Silpha Bhirasi), it's rich with symbolism relating to the constitution's birth date of June 24, 1932. In its centre is a pedestal, inside of which is a copy of the original 1932 constitution.
The four surrounding wing-like structures are 24 metres high to represent the date the constitution was signed, and each one symbolises one of the four branches of the Thai armed forces that guard it. Bas relief sculptures at the base of the monument depict the armed forces both as champions of democracy and as the personification of the Thai people.
China town
Yaowarat Road in Samphanthawong district is home to Bangkok's Chinatown, which is centred on Sam Pheng Lane. Chinatown's Sam Pheng Market is an old business centre noted for a post-WW II visit by the young king Ananda Mahidol. Modern Chinatown now covers a large area around Yaowarat and Charoen Krung Road. There are many small streets and alleys full of shops and vendors selling all types of goods. It has been the main centre for trading by the Chinese community since they moved from their old site some 200 years ago to make way for the construction of Wat Phra Kaew, the Grand Palace. Nearby is the Phahurat or Indian market, and the area is bordered by the Chao Phraya River to the south. Yaowarat Road is also well known for its sheer variety of food, and at night turns into a large "food street" that draws tourists and locals from all over the city.

Welcome to Hua Hin, one of Thailand’s oldest beach resorts.
Surrounded by a rolling sea and towering limestone peaks, this area was one of the Thai royal family’s prized assets during the early 20th century. The present King of Thailand still has a home here, and often visits during holidays.
A tour of Hua Hin makes it easy to see why the royals were so taken with the city. The close proximity to the ocean means countless opportunities for diving, swimming, and fishing—and you’d better believe Hua Hin is home to some of the best seafood you’ll ever taste. Stay in a fabulous resort where your every whim is catered to, or select a more modest accommodation and spend your money on delicious Thai food instead.
Yes, this place is food heaven; you can take a Thai cooking course, and then practice what you’ve learned on food you purchase at one of the many street markets dotting the downtown area. If you’ve gone fishing during your trip, test out your new skills on some of your bounty from the sea.
To get a taste of the gorgeous natural surroundings, head for Sam Roi Yof National Park. This is home to quiet beaches, great tracts of marshlands, and great caves, including Kuha Karuhas Pavilion, a small shrine located within the Phraya Nakhon cavern. A visit here will help you understand the role of spirituality in Thailand.

The Grand Palace.
I would say that the main attraction in Bangkok has to be the spectacular Grand Palace, it is a complex of buildings at the heart of Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam ( and later Thailand ) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. Construction of the palace began on 6th May 1782, by the order of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke ( Rama I ), the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital city from Thonburi to Bangkok. This area however was already occupied by Chinese merchants who he promptly asked to relocate to the present day China Town also known as Yaowarat area.
Having been here four times now, the novelty has worn off for me. But that does not deter from the sheer beauty of this attraction. This is the Place to visit, so be prepared for many crowds, due to its popularity many first time visitors to Thailand make this their first port of call. The present King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his Queen Sirikit along with his family still use this for many events in their busy calendar.
Unfortunately because this is the main attraction in Bangkok, sadly you will find the greatest number of con men and scammers or touts. They will try everything to part you from your money, from saying the palace is closed, to saying your dress code is all wrong. Royal Thai Army soldiers, from the 1st Infantry Regiment, King's Own Bodyguard guard the Palace, simply go to the main gate and ask them. They will soon inform you whether you can enter or not. The dress code problem can be easily solved by crossing the road and hiring what you need to cover up Tattoos or bare arms etc. There are several shops catering for the hiring out of clothes to gain access to the Grand Palace. You will find the dress code for Temples is rigidly applied here. The reason they use the Grand Palace is closed con is that they hope to coerce you into buying a river trip and some other trip around Bangkok to buy items that they get paid commission on.
Visitors are requested to be dressed properly and appropriately on entering the grounds of the Grand Palace. These are the guide lines for attire within this Palace.
Shorts, mini skirts, short skirts, tight fitting trousers, as well as tights cannot be worn as outer garments.
See through shirts and blouses, as well as culottes or quarter length trousers cannot be worn.
Sleeveless shirts or vests cannot be worn as outer garments.
Sandals (without ankle or heel straps) cannot be worn.
All shirt sleeves, whether long or short, cannot be rolled up.
Sweat shirts and sweat pants, wind-cheaters cannot be worn.
Phone: 02-623-5500 Ext. 1124, 3100 Open everyday from 8.30 a.m. to 16.30 p.m. Tickets sold until 15.30 p.m.

Sanam Luang is an open field and public square in front of Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand. Sanam Luang is located in the Phra Nakhon district, the historical centre of Bangkok. It was written in the Royal Chronicle as follows that : "In front of Wat Mahathat, Sanam Luang lies between the Royal Palace and the Front Palace. When royal cremation was held at the Phra Men Ground, the pyre set up in the centre with the Royal Palace Pavilion to the south and the one of the Prince of the Front Palace to the north. The music from the Royal Palace and from the Palace to the Front would be played on opposite sides of Sanam Luang.
Sanam Luang was officially known as Thung Phra Men ( the royal cremation ground ) It has been used as a site for the cremation of kings, queens and high-ranking princes since the reign of King Rama I. In 1855, King Rama IV changed the name from Thung Phra Men to Thong Sanam Luang, but the name is now shortened to Sanam Luang.
Sanam Luang has been used since the time of King Rama I. It was the place for royal ceremonies and functions. Including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front, who was Rama I's brother. King Rama II followed this example of performing royal ceremonies there, including the cremation of the Prince of the Palace to the Front of his reign, who was also his beloved brother. The Royal Chronicles mention the close link between the two brothers as follow :
During the reign of King Rama III, when Thailand was engaged in a conflict with Vietnam over the Cambodian border, the King wished to demonstrate to other nations that Thailand was such a fertile, flourishing country that even the area in front of the Grand Palace was cultivated. Sanam Luang was then a normal plot of land, used for growing rice. When there was a Royal Funeral, it would be smoothed over to prepare for the event.
King Rama IV set up a place for performing the Royal Ploughing Ceremony and the Ceremony of Calling the Rain where low walls were put up and a small hall was built to place the Buddha image for the Ceremony. Pavilions and towers were built near the king's seat when he watched the ploughing ceremony. Next to the king's pavilion there was a stage where plays were performed as part of the ritual of propitiating the gods. Outside the wall there was a barn where the rice would be stored.
King Rama V enlarged Sanam Luang and pulled down all the buildings which were used for the ceremonies of former kings and it was no longer necessary to grow rice near the Royal Palace. The space was needed for the preparation of the Centennial Celebration of Bangkok in 1897 which took place soon after King Rama V's return from Europe. It was a grand celebration also corresponding with the king's fiftieth birthday. Sanam Luang was still the place for kite flying. King Rama VI again used the place in the same manner as former kings to perform various ceremonies. Also, it was used as a race-track, and golf-course since more foreigners came to visit and stay in the country.
The Fine Arts Department has listed Sanam Luang as a historic site in 1977, announced on 13 December 1977, according to the Royal Decree (book 94 part 126). The area of Sanam Luang is about 30 acres

KHAOSAN ROAD - WALK AROUND 60FPS - BANGKOK, THAILAND
Filmed on Khaosan Road around midnight.
From Wikipedia:
Khaosan Road or Khao San Road is a short street in central Bangkok, Thailand. It is in the Banglamphu area of (Phra Nakhon district) about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew.
"Khaosan" translates as "milled rice", a reminder that in former times the street was a major Bangkok rice market. In the last 20 years, however, Khaosan Road has developed into a world famous "backpacker ghetto". It offers cheap accommodation, ranging from "mattress in a box" style hotels to reasonably priced 3-star hotels. In an essay on the backpacker culture of Khaosan Road, Susan Orlean called it "the place to disappear". It is also a base of travel: coaches leave daily for all major tourist destinations in Thailand, from Chiang Mai in the north to Ko Pha Ngan in the south, and there are many relatively inexpensive travel agents who can arrange visas and transportation to the neighbouring countries of Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
Khaosan shops sell handcrafts, paintings, clothes, local fruits, unlicensed CDs, DVDs, a wide range of fake IDs, used books, plus many useful backpacker items.
During late evening, the streets turn into bars and music is played, food hawkers sell barbecued insects, exotic snacks for tourists, and there are also locals flogging ping pong shows.
