Local tips
- If you are unsure about the distance, pick an e-bike: you enjoy the ride, not the climb.
- The Grand Palace requires covered shoulders and knees, and it opens daily at 8:30, so arrive at opening to beat the tour groups.
- Ignore anyone outside a temple who says it is closed today and offers a tuk-tuk tour instead; it is a well-known gem shop scam.
Combine it with: Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, Chinatown street food by tuk-tuk and Long-tail boat on the Thonburi canals.
