The Grand Palace

As the untouchable, revered and dazzling former home to Thailand’s royal family, The Grand Palace offers a visual masterclass in grandeur, history and spirituality among its many residences, temple spires and shrines. It’s easy to picture Fabian (Christian Friedel), the ever-self-important resort manager, walking around draped in linen, fanning himself in the heat and quietly contemplating his own significance in a setting built for kings. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply captivated by beauty, the Grand Palace offers an unforgettable glimpse into Thailand’s royal past. And be sure to dress modestly – some things, even in the world of The White Lotus, are ever-sacred.
