The Grand
Palace was built on time of King Rama I the Great, the first king
of Chakri Dynasty, in the same time of moving the
capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. The new palace was constructed
to resemble Ayutthaya palace, which is destroyed since then, leaving
the prosperity behind. A lot of Thai master craftsmen at that time left their great works to The Grand Palace, especially special beautiful art objects and architecture which hard to see at anywhere in the world. The great beauties, that visitors can see and touch, came from Thai-Brahmin believing that Thai king was god as Narain who was born to help and ward off sorrows for people. Thus, The Grand Palace was a place for king as for god and people should built it as palace in heaven. There are
three areas on common ground of The Grand Palace ;
Therefore,
tourists who would like to visit The Grand Palace should wear polite
dresses for respect in the place as the palace in heaven.
