This temple is a huge incredible riot of glittering gold and color. Pictures on the internet cannot do it justice. Definitely a must-see in Bangkok. I think admission was 200 bahts (free for Thais) and that includes tickets to the Vimanmek Mansion and Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall (in the Duist area of Bangkok near the zoo - I can't comment on these however since we ran out of time.), as well as the next-door Grand Palace (but you can't go inside).

Okay, this must be said, I was in Bangkok for three days, and on all three I tried to visit the Royal Palace and Wat Phra Kaeo. On the third day it finally came to it, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I found that sightseeing in Bangkok was not at all as I thought it would be. You can make schedules all you want of were to go and when, but I bet you wind up being somewhere else and loving it. I'm glad to have visited the Palace and Wat Phra Kaeo at the end of my trip to BKK, because it was the icing on my cake. There's glitter and gold everywhere you look, you can't even imagine if you haven't seen it with your own eyes. There's a million details not to be overlooked. It's grand! The temple of the emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaeo) itself is very beautiful and peaceful. The Royal Palace is around the corner, not as splendid, but worth the time to visit while you're there anyway...

Part of visiting the Grand Palace is seeing the emerald buddha definately worth visiting but nothing exceptional in itself, although the number of tourists would seem to suggest otherwise. Lots of Thai people seem to be on a pilgrimage to see it and your not supposed to take a photo inside the temple - of course theirs always one!
Bello!!!

E' uno dei luoghi piu sacri della Thailandia. Si trova accanto al Palazzo Reale. La prima cosa che si nota appena si entra sono delle statue di guardiani e un chedi rivestito d'oro. Nella sala principale si trova il Buddha di Smeraldo; le dimensioni della statua sono piccole ma per i thailandesi ha un valore molto importante. L'entrata costa circa 300 Baht e in questa cifra e compresa anche l'entrata al Dusit Park. Una esperienza per me veramente molto bella. Da non perdere assolutamente.
no es gran cosa

No es gran cosa, ademas q la esmeralda no es autentica, lo q en verdad impresiona es donde se encuentra, "toda la zona del gran palacio" merece casi ir dos veces.
