Architecture of Bangkok’s Grand Palace
Bangkok’s Grand Palace is a magnificent example of traditional Thai architecture. The buildings are designed in a style known as Rattanakosin, which combines elements of Thai, Khmer and Chinese architecture. The steeply pitched roofs are decorated with glazed tiles and the walls are adorned with colorful glass mosaics. The buildings are arranged around magnificent courtyards and gardens, offering spectacular views and a peaceful atmosphere.

Bangkok’s Grand Palace is a fascinating place to explore.
