43. Most ornate palace
Chakri Mahaprasad Hall at the Grand Palace.
Filled with over 54 acres of spiky temple spires, gold-plated walls and overly elaborate painting, sculpture and metalwork, the Grand Palace was once the private home of the Thai monarch, but is now Bangkok's most-visited attraction.
Check out the mural of the Ramayana along the inner wall, the longest wall painting in the world.
