to go to the Grand Palace (Jade Buddha etc..) and Wat Po (Reclining Buddha) take the BTS to Saphan Taksin Stop. This leads directly to the Chao Praya River where you can get a water taxi to Chang Stop (for GP and WP) for about 8B or a bit more if you get on the "tourist" water taxi.
Walk out from the pier and the GP will be on the right. Don't let anybody Tuktuk driver, Thai touts) tell you it's closed and they will take you someplace else.
Entrance fee is 200B, I think. There will be guys at the entrance asking to be a tour guide. I hired one for 200B and he walked me around and asnwered questions i had.
Wat Po is a bit further in the same direction you came in. same deal works there.
Just retrace your steps to go back to the hotel.
Don't forget to wear longpants/sleeved shirt (no shorts/tanktops).
