Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study looks at Thailand’s Grand Palace and how it affects tourism. It checks out the palace’s awesome buildings, why it's important in history, how it fits into Thai culture, and what it does for Thailand’s tourist business. King Rama 1st had it built in 1782. The Grand Palace mixes old Thai building styles with Western ones, showing off the country's pride, royal history, and devotion through places like Wat Phra Kaew and the Emerald Buddha. Besides being royal and religious, the Grand Palace is a big deal for Thai tourism, getting tons of visitors from Thailand and other countries each year. The study asks how its history, events, and cool buildings boost Thailand’s image and make it popular around the world. The research also looks at how tourism helps the economy, what’s being done to protect the palace, and the problems of keeping it culturally important while the city grows. The Grand Palace proves the Chakri family's story and stays a key monument in Bangkok, linking Thailand's past and present in terms of culture and the economy.
