Three in the city, and a summer palace an hour north
Here is the list of 4 Palaces in Bangkok
1. Grand Palace
The one unmissable sight in Bangkok, and the busiest. A walled compound of gilded halls and spires beside the river, built in 1782 and still used for state ceremony, with Wat Phra Kaew and the Emerald Buddha inside the same walls. Dress code is enforced: shoulders and knees covered, no exceptions. Go at opening, before the tour groups and the heat arrive.
2. Suan Pakkad Palace
A cluster of eight traditional teak houses assembled on one garden plot by Prince and Princess Chumbhot, now a museum of what they collected: Ban Chiang pottery, Khmer bronzes, shells, and a lacquer pavilion moved here from Ayutthaya. It takes an hour, it is rarely crowded, and it is the best antidote to the Grand Palace's scale.
3. Sukothai Palace
A royal residence in the Dusit district rather than a museum, associated with Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. It is a working residence, so public access is restricted and there is no general admission. Included because people search for it, but check current arrangements before planning a visit around it.
4. Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, Ayutthaya
Not in Bangkok at all, but an hour north in Ayutthaya province, which is why it belongs on a day trip rather than a city itinerary. A riverside compound where Thai, Chinese and European styles sit side by side, most of it rebuilt by King Chulalongkorn in the nineteenth century. Easily combined with the Ayutthaya ruins in one day.

Palaces and temples sit in the same few streets on Rattanakosin island. Museums in Bangkok covers the collections nearby, palaces in Thailand widens it to Ayutthaya and beyond, and day trips from Bangkok covers getting to Bang Pa-In.
