The Grand Palais (or Royal Palace) is fast enough to visit because you can not enter to see the inside as it is one of the royal residence still in use. The King of Thailand does not live there but the palace is at its disposal. We meet sometimes a squad of guards in white outfits that seem more there for the parade as a real desire to secure the place.
