中子权The Grand Palace Scenic Area can be said to be the top of the list for Thai tourism. I booked the Grand Palace + Zhengwang Temple double attraction tickets + explanation on Trip.com. The tour guide is a local Thai, but the Chinese is very good. The weather was very hot on the day of the visit, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, umbrellas, water were all essentials. Because it is a popular attraction, there are many tourists visiting. After the collection of tickets, the first entry is the Jade Buddha Temple. The architecture of the Jade Buddha Temple is very Thai. Thailand is a Buddhist country. The importance of Buddhism is very high. The buildings are magnificent. Listening to the tour guide explaining the gold and silver jewelry spent on the appearance of the building is countless. The tour guide talked about the history of the king of Thailand for a long time, about the association of the Jade Buddha Temple and the royal family of successive generations, and then visited freely. The Buddha Hall in the center of the Jade Buddha Temple is to take off your shoes and enter, and photographs are prohibited inside. The interior walls of the Buddha Hall are covered with murals, very beautiful, and the tourists who come in sit quietly and feel quiet. After leaving the Jade Buddha Temple, walk into the Grand Palace. The Grand Palace Park is a bit like the presidential palace of a modern country. There is a large open space in the manor, and the center is a luxurious mansion. For some historical reasons, the current Thai king is no longer living in the Grand Palace, which is used as a reception place for meetings with foreign heads of state. The temple of Zhengwang and the Grand Palace are separated by a river in the south of the river. Buy a ticket from the pier and upload it in about five minutes to the other side of the river. The landing is the Zhengwang Temple Scenic Area. Zhengwang Temple is a temple established in memory of the Thai national hero Zheng Zhao, and it is also one of the must-check-in attractions in Bangkok. Zhengwang Temple and Jade Buddha Temple compared to the style is obviously different, the main body is stone architecture, the color is not so magnificent, but the appearance decoration is still very beautiful.
