Golden walking trail in Bangkok 🌞
Thailand's history and emotions on the Grand Palace Road

If you want to experience the real Thailand in the heart of Bangkok, take a leisurely walk along the 'Grand Palace Road' with its splendid golden roofs. A quiet and mysterious charm different from the bustling city center awaits you. This road, where history, art, religion, and local emotions come together, is the perfect travel course for a leisurely walk for a day.

🕌 Wat Phra Kaew & Grand Palace - Where the Spirit of Thailand Remains
Location: Na Phra Lan Road, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok
Opening Hours: 08:30 - 15:30
Entrance Fee: Approximately 500 baht (Strict dress code - long pants, shoulder-covering clothing required)

The start of the Grand Palace Road is definitely Thailand's representative historic site, Wat Phra Kaew (Emerald Temple) and the Grand Palace. The gorgeous golden roof, elaborate carvings, and the emerald Buddha that is absolutely revered capture the attention of travelers.

“It’s much more beautiful in person than in photos. It’s a place where you can feel the identity of Thailand with your whole body!”

The temple has a calm and sacred atmosphere. You can rent traditional clothing near the temple entrance, making it a great spot for taking photos of your life.

🏞️ Tanon Maharat Street while walking – Emotional local alley
If you walk a little bit toward the riverside from the Grand Palace, you will come across an alley with a completely different atmosphere. Tanon Maharat, where cafes, local galleries, and craft shops are gathered, is an emotional alley that is popular with young people in Bangkok these days.

With small temples, decoration shops, and the riverside view, just walking around will deepen the aftertaste of your trip. Take a break while sitting in a cool cafe and drinking an iced Thai tea.

☀️ Wat Pho – End the day with the Golden Buddha
Location: Sanam Chai Rd, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok
Opening hours: 08:00 – 18:30
Admission: Approximately 200 baht

The last stop on the Grand Palace Walk is Wat Pho. With its giant golden Buddha, this is the perfect place to feel the peaceful energy of Thailand. It is a place with a deep sense of peace rather than flashiness.

Wat Pho is also famous as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, so you can get a professional massage at the massage center in the temple. It is the perfect ending to give your tired legs a rest after a walk.
