A Glimpse of Smiles Across the Miles

The Royal Grand Palace is a must-see attraction for visiting foreigners of the Kingdom of Thailand.  It is without a doubt one of Bangkok's most famous landmark which was built in 1782 and had been a home of the Thai King, the Royal Court and the Administrative Seat of Government for 150 years.

In visiting the Royal Grand Palace however, it should be noted that a certain dress code applies.  With the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is Thailand's most sacred site.  Visitors must be properly dressed before being allowed to enter into the temple.  Male visitors are required to be wearing long pants and shirts with sleeves (no tanktops), sandals with socks or flipflops with socks are tolerated.  For female visitors, modest or decent clothing are also expected; no see-throughs nor off-shoulders and sleefless shirts are allowed.  For those visitors who arrive at the vicinity with the prohibited type of dress code, there is a nearby booth at the entrance area which can provide clothing to cover you up, accordingly, although certain deposit fee is required.
