The symbol of this historical event was the destruction of the then capital of Ayutthaya &#8211; and the old royal palace. The new was build in the middle of 1782 and finished in 1785 &#8211; at least parts of it. Rama I. is responsible for this highlight of Siamese history; he could not bear to see Thailand on its knees after the defeat against Burma. Therefore, the royal palace at the same time works as important component of managing a national disgrace. Surprisingly: It wasn&#8217;t until 2006 that both natives and tourists were able to admire the newest building of the grand palace. The genesis is not finished yet.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-has-icon fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-center in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\" style=\"border:2px solid #ffffff;border-radius:10px;\" class=\"image-scroll\"><a href=\"https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-in-Bangkok.jpg\" class=\"fusion-lightbox\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[104d1307bf5f2e0adf1]\" data-title=\"Grosser Palast in Bangkok\" title=\"Grosser Palast in Bangkok\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"569\" alt=\"Grosser Palast (Grand Palace) in Bangkok\" src=\"https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-in-Bangkok.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-in-Bangkok-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-in-Bangkok.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-has-icon fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Splendor and pride wherever you look \u2013 The grand palace<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All in all, the grand palace is divided into 4 important sections. The so-called wade to <em><strong>Phra Kaeo<\/strong><\/em> connects to the inner, center and the exterior yard as well, which even today as the king&#8217;s temple causes big admiration. Numerous monuments and an upper terrace bear witness of the splendor of the entire Bangkok royal palace. As beautiful as the remaining parts of the grand palace may be: Many observers describe the center yard as the most spectacular, which also consists of 4 further sections. Among other things palaces lend their unique attraction to those areas. Altogether measurements tell us that the entire area of the royal palace amounts to more than 2,5 km \u00b2. Accordingly the grand palace in Bangkok is indeed worthy of its name.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-center in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-4 hover-type-none\" style=\"border:2px solid #ffffff;border-radius:10px;\" class=\"image-scroll\"><a href=\"https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-Bangkok.jpg\" class=\"fusion-lightbox\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[71a113f82aaaad14649]\" data-title=\"Kraftort Grosser Palast Bangkok\" title=\"Kraftort Grosser Palast Bangkok\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"350\" alt=\"Kraftort Grosser Palast Bangkok\" src=\"https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-Bangkok.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-3345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-Bangkok-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magic-places.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Grosser-Palast-Bangkok.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-has-icon fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">An important pillar of tourism and a great place of strength<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fact that year after year a great many tourists visit the capital of the Kingdom of Thailand particularly because of the grand palace may not surprise anybody.
