How To Visit The GRAND PALACE, WAT ARUN and WAT PHRA in ONE DAY | Bangkok Thailand Travel Vlog 2024

Wow Hi everybody, welcome back to our channel My name is Naz and I'm Alba and we are currently in Bangkok, Thailand in this video We're gonna take you to visit with us one of the most famous places in the city We're gonna do a day tour. Well a lot of day tour because we're organizing it But we're gonna go to the Grand Palace to Wat Phra and Wat Arun These are some of the oldest most traditional and like I said most famous sites in city So if you're visiting Bangkok, you won't want to miss them We're gonna head off now to the Grand Palace Which is our starting place because when we buy a ticket there It'll give us access to Wat Phra as well If I'm not mistaken and it costs 500 baht per person to walk in and it's important to know that the dress code is Essentially non-revealing. So there's a number of things that you cannot wear like shorts or Tongue-tops, so that's why I'm wearing like t-shirt long trousers But we are gonna take you with us. So we're gonna tell you all about it, but it's already 9 almost and we know that the crowds get big so it's time to get going Thank you A lot of people warned us that there's a few scams going around outside the palace People already tried to divert us to buy their private tours But all you need to do is follow the signs to the main entrance to go buy the ticket. So that's what we're doing Right when we entered we saw the security checkpoint and this is where they were turning people away who are not following the dress code But it was fairly straightforward They checked our bags and then all we needed to do was follow the crowds until we find a ticket stall to buy our entrance tickets Got the tickets 500 baht per person like we said and now we're gonna follow the crowds and keep on going inside the palace Once we were inside we were shocked with the amount of people that were there Which is why it's so important to go early last time we were in Bangkok We were not able to visit the palace because the queue from the outside went around the block Once we were inside we just avoided the big groups and we're able to enjoy our visit As you walk in the first thing you see is Wat Phra also known as the temple of the Emerald Buddha This is not to be confused with Wat Phra Chetupon also known as Wat Pho, a different temple in the same area We just walked around Appreciating the beautiful architecture of the temple and because we were going without a guide We didn't really know what everything meant So if you want to learn more about the history during your visit make sure to book a tour guide Which you can do at the entrance The whole place is surrounded by these handmade paintings and they are incredible and the most awesome thing is how close you are to them We followed the signs that took us to where the Grand Palace is located and wow We were taken aback by how beautiful the architecture of the Grand Palace is You can only visit it from the outside, but it's still totally worth it. Look at how stunning We just came out of the Wat Phra museum Unfortunately, we weren't able to record because it's not allowed There's a big set of reconstruction around and a lot of things that you see outside It's not the original pieces. So seeing them with a level of detail that have been deteriorated over 250 years right here Amazing. I recommend you go in. Oh, by the way, you have to take your shoes off at some point So just wear the caution there. Bring socks The Museum of Textiles is also included in the ticket, so we're gonna have a quick look since we're here and we paid for it Okay, so we also could not record in here but it was so nice It's much emptier than the rest of the site. So we definitely recommend checking out. It's quite quick But they have on display the dresses from the Queen City kit And it was so nice because it's the actual dresses and they are there and you can go around and see them. Pretty cool But now we're done with displays. We're gonna go and see Wat Arun To go from the Grand Balance to Wat Arun just follow Google Maps to Pier Tatian It is approximately an 11-minute walk and there's no signs or anything like that But once you get closer, you'll start seeing more people and you will also see a queue You will have to take a short boat ride to get to Wat Arun But don't worry if the queue is a little bit long because there's boats coming constantly So just wait for your turn and you will be on your way It's only five bucks You are allowed to go inside of the temple but of course rule number one in Thailand when visiting temples is take off your shoes and rule number two and most Importantly be respectful and quiet because obviously people are praying but that's exactly what we did We went inside and wow, this place just never stops amazing us We've actually been here before me and Alba came here in 2016 so that's over seven years ago. It is just as beautiful. It is just as worth visiting We've just been inside of the praying area, which is amazing because in other places you can't go inside And now we're gonna take you right there to the main event Wat Arun This is by far one of our favorite temples in Thailand because not only it's Beautiful, but also it allows you to go into the praying area. You can climb up the stairs It's located next to the river which gives it beautiful views And of course, it has a really affordable price to visit So if you guys are not sure which temple to visit, we highly recommend going to Wat Arun because just look how beautiful When we finished our tour around Wat Arun, we took the boat back and went to grab something to eat There's lots of street food and restaurants around that area. So just pick one and enjoy Thank you guys so much for watching.
