A really wonderful experience full of amazing sculptures and decoration. Photography is limited and there is a dress code, so be ready to follow the local rules of the area. Full review by Daniela M

Lots of crowds, which ruins the whole experience. Detailed golden spires, buddhas and architecture. There is a dress code - we saw many tourists being turned away or had to buy shirts and long trouseā€¦ Full review by Sea98

The Grand palace is a huge area and walking to see any of it is required. Perhaps you could see if wheel chairs are available, although pushing one in the heat might be an issue. As mentioned by others, the Reclining Budda might be a better option. We walked to the river from the exit and I believe it took about 10 minutes for us, we are in our 60's.
