How To Reach The Grand Palace


Reaching the Grand Palace is simple due to its central location in Bangkok. The most convenient way is by BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin Station, followed by a scenic Chao Phraya River ferry ride to Tha Chang Pier. From there, the palace is just a short walk away. Alternatively, taxis and tuk-tuks are widely available, but ensure the driver uses a meter or agrees on a fare beforehand. For those staying near the Old City, it’s accessible on foot or by bike. Avoid peak traffic hours to ensure a hassle-free journey.
