The most enjoyable route is to take the BTS Skytrain to Taksin Station. From here take a Chao Phraya River Express boat to Tha Chang Wang Luang Pier(N9). It is a short walk from the pier to the entrance to The Grand Palace public entrance. more picture

The second alternative route, by bus routes 1, 3, 12, 25, 44, 47, 53, 60, 82, 91, 501, 508 and tell busman “Wat Phra Kaeo”. I recommend you should take the bus routes on Saturday and Sunday Only! , because Bangkok has traffic-jam on weekday.
