Why people love Grand Palace

We took the BTS to Saphan Taksin Station, then headed to Sathorn Pier to catch the boat to ICONSIAM, which cost 8 baht per person.
Our experience aboard the Meridian Cruise was fantastic.
We checked in at Pier 1 at 4 pm and received stickers with our table number. They also instructed us to be at Pier 2 by 4:40 pm.
Opting for the sunset cruise was a great decision, as we got to enjoy the view during the day and later see the attractions beautifully lit up at night.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Our experience aboard the Meridian Cruise was fantastic.
We checked in at Pier 1 at 4 pm, where we received stickers with our table number. They allowed us to enjoy the buffet even before the cruise departed from ICONSIAM. The buffet featured a wide variety of cuisines, including Thai and Western options. Throughout the cruise, there was also entertainment, and guests were encouraged to join in the fun.

If you arrive in Bangkok in the middle of the night, there is no airport MRT to take, so chartering a car is the best option, it is safe and convenient! Highly recommend everyone to order it

The most convenient option to go to the airport is to rent a car to avoid the fatigue of carrying luggage and taking the MRT, but you should take more time to avoid traffic jams.

My wife and I decided to go with a private tour with the hotel transfer. We were greet in the lobby of our hotel with the tour guide and driver. They were very kind and polite. When we left the hotel she started explaining right away what the day was going to bring us and the history of what we were about to see. our guide was full of knowledge. she made sure we were comfortable and understanding and explained throughly and questions we had. She also took many many great photos which I am sure is a plus to many people. I know it was a private tour so the photos are easier to take than with a group. we loved this tour. I would highly recommend paying the extra for a private tour. especially if you are a couple. you can move around a lot more freely than being tied to a group. thank you so much for being so delightful and sharing your knowledge with us about Bangkok and the surrounding temples. HIGHLY Recommend.
