Creator's Key Takeaways
The Grand Palace is considered one of the top tourist destinations here in Bangkok, famous for the Emerald Buddha.
I would say a trip to Bangkok without going to some of the rooftops would probably be an unfulfilled trip since Bangkok is known for its rooftops with great city views.
Cash is king around here. Every place takes cash. They rarely take credit cards at these uh booths.
I would even say getting here at 8 or 9 in the morning might just be the best plan because the heat, I'm telling you, it really is difficult.
