"Great Tour. Rabbit was the perfect Tour guide"Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Temple [Premium Class]

"I really want to give a shoutout to Oriental Escape for their awesome service. Booking was super easy on their website, and even when I was a pain with my last-minute changes and requests, they handled it all like champs - quick and super nice about everything.
The day of the tour was great. The car was clean and new, and the driver was really polite. But the real star was our tour guide. She knew her stuff and made the tour fun. I was so impressed with everything that I’m definitely planning to use them again and have already told my friends to check them out."Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Temple [Private Tour]
Questions about Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Temple (6)
Q
I am traveling with an elderly family member who has limited mobility. Are wheelchairs available at the Grand Palace, and can you arrange someone to assist with pushing it? Lucy - 46 Days ago
A
While the Grand Palace does not provide wheelchairs for visitors, we are pleased to offer a complimentary wheelchair loan for your convenience. If you require dedicated help to push the wheelchair, you can arrange a professional Personal Assistant for the day (an additional fee applies).
To ensure a smooth and comfortable experience, please keep the following in mind:
- Historical Terrain: The grounds of the Grand Palace are paved with original, uneven stones. Navigating a wheelchair across this surface requires considerable effort, making a dedicated assistant highly recommended for a seamless visit.
- Access Limitations: Due to the preservation of these heritage structures, several buildings feature elevated entrances without ramps. Wheelchair users will be able to admire the stunning exteriors but may not be able to enter certain indoor areas.
- Your Guide’s Role: Your licensed guide is dedicated to providing you with rich cultural storytelling and expert navigation. While they are always happy to offer light physical support, they cannot serve as the primary person pushing the wheelchair.

Q
What should be your ideal Grand Palace Thailand dress code? Steve - 7 years ago
A
You should cover your shoulders and knees, and ideally, you’d cover your ankles too. On the bottom, wear longer shorts, capris, pants, trousers or a knee-length-or-longer skirt. On top, any shirt that fully covers your shoulders. A T-shirt, blouse or polo is fine. Do not wear a tank top.
