Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew does not publish a fixed price, so this site will not invent one. Check the official page below.
The royal complex and the Emerald Buddha, which is jade rather than emerald and is ceremonially reclothed three times a year by the King. DUAL PRICING: the foreigner rate is posted separately from the Thai rate and is commonly five to ten times higher. See finding 1. Shoulders and knees covered for everyone, shoes off inside. Sarongs are lent or hired at the gate and visitors are turned away daily for dress. DRESS IS ENFORCED MORE STRICTLY HERE THAN ANYWHERE IN THAILAND - no shorts, no sleeveless tops, no leggings, no sandals without a back strap, for men and women alike. TICKET SALES STOP AT 15:30. Ignore anyone outside who tells you it is closed for a ceremony; it is a long-running scam that ends at a gem shop.

The planner warns of hot in April; and wet in September, October. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
