What to expect

Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will function as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map all in one. You can choose between two options:

  • Option 1: Grand Palace Bangkok self-guided audio tour with Emerald Buddha
  • Option 2: Bangkok's top 4: Grand Palace and Wats audio tour bundle

Your tour begins at the Grand Palace gates, in the heart of bustling Bangkok. One of the first things you'll see on your route is the famous Emerald Buddha. This incredible statue is perhaps the most well known of the Palace's many wonders, and for good reason. There's plenty of history (and mystery) behind this statue, all of which you'll soon uncover!

Next, you'll see other intricate statues, including one depicting a terrifying demon that holds an important place in Thai legends. Then you'll follow a route through the rest of the Palace, taking in sights such as the shimmering Golden Chedi and the deeply sacred Hor Phra Monthian temple. While you explore, you'll be learning all about the history, culture, and mythology behind the plentiful works of art that decorate the palace. At last, you'll see the extravagant Borom Phiman Mansion before continuing to a pair of fascinating museums.

This audio tour does not use GPS, so the stories won't play automatically according to your location. Please note that the entrance ticket for the tour is not included and must be purchased separately. The stories are organized in a suggested order to take the tour - please swipe through each story to listen as you travel along the route. You can also play all stories from the 'Story List' if you wish to skip ahead or listen to earlier stories again.
