BANGKOK TEMPLES
We had our temple visit on our second day in Bangkok. We visited the THE GRAND PALACE and the WAT PHO.1. THE GRAND PALACE
The Grand Palace is made up of many buildings and is divided into several quarters: the Temple of the Emerald Buddha; the Outer Court, with many public buildings; the Middle Court, including the Phra Maha Montien Buildings, the Phra Maha Prasat Buildings and the Chakri Maha Prasat Buildings; the Inner Court and the Siwalai Gardens quarter.

This structure - Phra Thinang Chakri Maha Prasat really amazed me. The external structure was really nice. The Palace is open from 8:30am to 3:30pm daily. For more information, you can also visit The Grand Palace Official Website.
2. Wat Pho
Wat Pho is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. It is located at the Phra Nakhon District of Bangkok. The place is also the origin of the traditional Thai Massage. Just like the Grand Palace, they observe strict dress code. Also, there is also an admission fee of THB100.
