Important Information
Grand Palace Access
Please be informed that the Grand Palace is currently hosting royal funeral ceremonies for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. As such, visitors are kindly asked to observe the following:
• Dress respectfully: No shorts, sleeveless tops, sandals, or revealing outfits.
• Avoid wearing bright or restricted colors, especially red.
• The Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall, which enshrines the royal remains, is open to the public for paying respects. Due to high visitor volume and ceremonial sensitivities, this area may not be included in the tour during this period.
We appreciate your understanding and respectful cooperation during this significant national event.
--------------- Temporary Suspension of Canal Tours
Due to seasonal high tides combined with an influx of upstream water into Bangkok, the water level of the Chao Phraya River has significantly risen. In response, floodgates along the inner-city canal network have been closed to protect local communities from flooding.
Additionally, the current strength of the water poses potential safety concerns for boat operations.
As a result, we regret to inform you that all Thonburi Canal Tours are temporarily suspended until the flooding situation improves and conditions are safe for operation.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
