The Grand Palace and Wat Prakeaw is one of the most magnificent places to visit in Thailand. The palace is over two hundred and eighteen thousand square metres. The palace is surrounded by four great walls that were constructed in 1782. These walls are still guarded by soldiers bearing arms. The Wat Prakeaw is known in English as the Temple of Buddha which is a very important religious symbol for this country. This statue is dated back to the fourteenth century and is still in great condition.the Buddha is made out of emeralds. The places hosts not only government offices but the Chapel Royal of the Emerald Buddha and other royals.
The Grand Palace is a breathtaking sight. There are building with pointed tops that are too spectacular to put into words. The buildings hold many holy statues. Three times a year the cloak covering a statute is changed to mark the changing of the seasons. Only the king may change the cloak and it is said to be a sign of good fortune to the country. While visiting the Grand Place one should keep in mind that it is a sacred religious place and follow the customs of the culture to show respect.
