Phaya Thai Palace

Thung Phaya Thai, Thailand

4.5 (0)

Overview

Former royal residence in Bangkok. It sits in Thailand's central plains, most comfortable in the cooler, drier stretch from November to February.

Why visit: Royal palaces and throne halls — gilded, mirrored and deliberately overwhelming.

Things to do

›Dress properly — covered shoulders and knees are enforced
›Take in the gilded rooflines and mother-of-pearl work
›Follow the visitor route rather than wandering
›Go at opening; midday is punishing
