The Temple of Emerald Buddha at night.

 

BANGKOK: -- The Temple of the Emerald Buddha has reopened for tourists today after it was closed from October 13 following the demise of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

 

Foreign tourists who intend to visit the temple will be required to enter through the  Viset Chaisri Gate of the Grand Palace.

 

The Tourism Department has proposed three dropping off points adjacent to the Grand Palace for tour operators and tourists, as some venues around the Grand Palace remain closed. 

 

Individual tourists who come by cars should be dropped off near the Chang Rongsri Bridge from where the palace is a 15-minute walk.
