Bangkok, Thailand

4.5 (0)

Overview

Royal villa in Bangkok, Thailand. 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
