Grand Palace Bangkok Entrance Ticket with Hotel Pick Up
Description
The Royal Palace complex was established in 1782 and it consists of not only royal and throne halls, but also a number of government offices as well as the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It covers an area of 218,000 square metres and is surrounded by four walls, 1900 metres in length. After King Rama I ascended to the throne in 1782, the palace was built. Prior to this, the royal palace and centre of administration had been located in Thonburi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. For various reasons, the new King considered the former capital to be unsuitable and decided to establish a new capital on the other side of the river. By his royal command, a palace was built to serve not only as his residence but also as the site of administrative offices. The royal compound has been known since then as The Royal Palace. The two earliest buildings erected within the complex were the Dusit Haha Prasat Throne Hall, and the Phra Maha Monthian.

I hired a guide who unfortunately didn't speak very good English, I hardly understood the explanation of the place, although she was kind. And the temple was beautiful.
Gracias por informarnos sobre su visita al Palacio Real. Lamentamos saber que no hubo guía disponible durante su reserva. Algunas de nuestras entradas para el Palacio Real incluyen únicamente el acceso y la recogida en el hotel, mientras que otras incluyen un guía oficial. Al parecer, esta opción podría no haber incluido el servicio de guía.
Having the driver take us to the Grand Palace and our tickets already purchased made the experience stress free
We're happy to hear the driver and pre-purchased tickets made your Grand Palace visit stress free! That's exactly what we aim for. Thanks for your feedback, and we hope to make your next Bangkok trip just as easy.
Very prompt collection, unfortunately the collection time wasn't communicated, which meant we weren't waiting in the reception. Vehicle cleanliness and space very good.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad the collection was prompt and the vehicle was clean and spacious. Sorry about the communication mix-up on the collection time - we'll look into improving that!
Private transfer was on time, smooth and safe. It is the best to get a private transfers when you are for the first time in Bangkok. A driver was very polite.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad the private transfer met your expectations - punctuality, smoothness, and safety are top priorities for us 😊. Appreciate you highlighting our driver's politeness! Hope Bangkok treats you well!
It takes the difficulty of navigating the palace ticket and entry process and makes it effortless. The hard work is handled by the tour company...you just enter the palace.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that our tour company made navigating the palace ticket and entry process effortless for you. That's what we're here for! Appreciate the kind words!
Very friendly driver, well on time. Nothing to complain about.
Bedankt voor uw vriendelijke woorden! We zijn blij te horen dat uw chauffeur vriendelijk was en op tijd arriveerde. Het is fijn om te weten dat alles soepel is verlopen en aan uw verwachtingen voldeed. We hopen u snel weer van dienst te kunnen zijn!
I opted for this service, because wrangling kids out the door is hard enough. We paid about twice what the simple tickets would be. Our driver had trouble finding us even though we were standing outside the address I provided (and confirmed) and he wasn't particularly friendly. The person we were meeting to take is into the palace was late, so the driver had to drive around the block then told us to hurry and get out of the car (because it wasnt a stopping area). The lady who brought us inside rushed us through the front area, took a quick family picture then took off. Previous to this they had suggested we pay for a tour (up selling). Last, after I checked my phone again I see I had received several messages from the tour operator saying the driver couldn't find us and would wait "five more minutes". These were sent up to a half hour after we actually got into the car. Not really a good value for the money we spent.
Sorry to hear things didn't go smoothly with your service. Thanks for sharing the details. We're really sorry about the issues with the driver, wait times, and overall experience . Your feedback's super valuable, and we'll look into what happened. Hope you'll give us another shot in the future

The driver was very communicative in advance of the visit and turned up before the departure time, was ready and waiting. She provided helpful and useful information about the local area and where to go at the Palace. She gave me the ticket and showed me where to go. Great service, would definitely recommend. Very easy and straightforward
