Guide: You can also get a massage at the Grand Palace.

[Grand Palace Guide: Ordinary tourists can also enjoy royal ancient massage in Bangkok Grand Palace] Although it is the royal territory of Thailand, #Traveling to 40 countries# also enjoyed an ancient massage here. Thai people can enter the Grand Palace for free, while foreign tourists need to buy a tour ticket for 200 Thai baht = 40 RMB. Since this is my third time visiting the Grand Palace, this time I mainly experienced the royal ancient massage. Thai-style massage on the Thai market usually costs 200-300 Thai baht per hour (40-60 RMB), while the Grand Palace's massage costs 480 Thai baht per hour = 96 RMB. When I arrived yesterday at 16:50, the massage ended at 18:00, so I only booked a half-hour massage at 17:30 (380 Thai baht). After booking, you can visit the Grand Palace before the appointment time. The most amazing thing here is the Sleeping Buddha Temple, with a huge golden Sleeping Buddha without any seams. It's strange how it was moved into the temple. It turns out that there was a Buddha first, and then a house was built around it. Even more eye-opening is that each of Buddha's toes is actually the same length. Talking about massage again, all the masseurs are over 40 years old and have skilled techniques. Most of the clients are white. The palace courtyard is also filled with sculptures of various postures and stretching movements of Thai massage, which can be considered as promoting Thai massage and health culture. The reason why Thailand can attract tourists from all over the world and keep them coming back is because of its high cost-effectiveness. Just think, if you could get a traditional massage in the Forbidden City in Beijing for just over 90 yuan, wouldn't you be overwhelmed by the crowds of tourists waiting in line? In addition, there are some light gray sculptures that are obviously legendary figures in China, such as Guan Gong and Maitreya Buddha. Thai people say that these are cultural relics brought from China in history. #Explore Thailand after the pandemic# Part 19.
