The old heart of Bangkok sits on a bend of the Chao Phraya river, and it is full of gold. The Grand Palace, built from 1782 when Bangkok became the capital, shines with spires and mosaic walls. Next door, Wat Pho houses a gigantic gold Reclining Buddha, and across the river, Wat Arun rises in white and porcelain. You can see all three in one day, and the beds nearby are some of the cheapest in our data.

What does it cost?
Travel guides report the Grand Palace entry fee at about 500 baht for foreign visitors, with Wat Pho and Wat Arun charging smaller fees. We did not measure these prices ourselves, so check the current price at the gate. Be careful with people outside the palace telling you it is closed. They are usually trying to lead you to a shop or a tour.
