I got into Wat Pho and Grand Palace for free... muahaha...

For Wat Pho... any entrance will do. Just make sure tht you walk anti-clockwise. Anyway, the entrance fee is not expensive. Only 50 Baht.
Oh yea... if you wanna try the authentic thai massage, Wat Pho is the place (try to ask a local and they will tell you the same). About 330Baht per hour.

As for Grand Palace... You figure it out yourself~
