Welcome to the narrated, offline, self-guided walking tour of the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand!

This self-guided audio tour allows you to explore the Grand Palace with maximum flexibility and value. You begin the tour in the heart of bustling Bangkok, at the Grand Palace gates. The Palace is also Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist temple site, which the Thai people hold close to their hearts. Be sure to download the Action Tour Guide app beforehand (check your email for the link) so that you can start walking as soon as you arrive. Enter the spacious grounds of the Grand Palace, follow the instructions of the app-based tour, and hear all about the long history of the palace, the battles of kings, and the mysteries of the Emerald Buddha.

The tour follows a set route through the grounds. The grounds are divided into several quarters: the Temple of the Emerald Buddha; the Outer Court, with many public buildings; the Middle Court, including the Phra Maha Monthien Buildings, the Phra Maha Prasat Buildings, and the Chakri Maha Prasat Buildings; the Inner Court and the Siwalai Gardens quarter. You’ll walk into the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, explore the palace grounds, and admire the murals of the Ramakien outside, all while hearing from the tour. As your tour wraps up, you’ll end by the gates again and have discovered the deep significance of this royal and religious site.
