Bangkok · GRAND PALACE TICKETS & TOURS
The gates open at 08:30 and the courtyards are full by ten, so the tour you pick decides how much of Wat Phra Kaew you actually see. These 15 are compared on start time, on whether the ticket is included or bought at the window, and on which ones carry straight on to Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Shoulders and knees covered, or you are buying a sarong at the gate.

“Our guide was Mena. She was very structured- she kept the group in line. We liked this because it kept us all on schedule. Otherwise the tour would’ve gone too long. She made sure all of us were doing ok in the heat. At times it was hard to hear her when she was talking, but she had great knowledge on the area. We recommend this so you’re not walking aimlessly!”

“Our guide was not experienced at all, shabby looking and hardly spoke any English. She tried to leave us in the middle of the tour, but one of the participants had brought her back, to which she said she didn’t know we had other two temples to go through. She stayed, but to be honest, it was not useful anyway. The whole thing was so unprofessional… so much to see but not knowing language made it a waste of time”

“Our tour guide Num was fantastic! He weaved us in and out between crowds, and got us settled at less hectic spots to share so much rich history. Truly educational! He then gave us free time to explore a bit -- plenty of time to take photos -- before moving on to the next spot. The tour is 2 hours so if you are someone who wants to linger at the Grand Palace, another tour might be better suited to you. Num is very punctual, knowledgeable, professional, kind ... and funny! When I booked the tour, I was a bit leery at first since several reviewers had mentioned how challenging…”
