Stop for the Emerald Buddha and the palace courts inside the walls, not a photo at the gate. One foreign ticket covers the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles in the compound. Half a day: Tha Chang or MRT Sanam Chai to the gate, finish the temple and the main courts, leave before ticket sales end, then walk to Wat Pho if your legs remain. Wat Pho is another ticket. Wat Arun is a crossing. Chatuchak and Thonglor are other days. Sites outside the walls that appear on the same ticket are not scheduled on this station.

Temple · Walk

Stop at Wat Arun for the Khmer prang and the river, and the climb only reaches one terrace. It is not a third court inside the palace walls. Half a day: the short ferry from Tha Tien (not the orange line's flat fare), walk the prang and the galleries, climb one level and come down. If dusk is already the Golden Mount or Mahanakhon, come here by day. On the same bank you can still walk to Wat Kalayanamit or Santa Cruz — pick one, then stop. Do not continue into ICON.

Landmark · Walk

Yaowarat is the stop because the main street turns itself on at night: gold shops, stalls and temple mouths on one road. By day the substance is in the lanes, not on this lit street. Half a day: one afternoon stretch among Talat Noi, Song Wat or Sampeng, then back to the main street, one stall (Nai Mong or another), then stop. Do not add a mall across the river, and do not put Asiatique on the same night.
