Today, the place is used for hosting royal ceremonies and welcoming the king's guests, state guests, and other foreign dignitaries. You will visit the key attractions around the Grand Palace like the Coronation Throne Hall, Royal Reception Hall, Royal Funeral Hall, the Golden Chedi, and the Royal Pantheon.
