    TOUR DESCRIPTION

    This tour is the perfect starting point for exploring Bangkok and discovering the true heart of this megacity! On this day trip, we'll pick you up from your Bangkok hotel and take you to our first destination: the Grand Palace, Bangkok's most important palace and temple complex. Built as a royal residence, the Grand Palace has been expanded over the centuries with numerous buildings, including the impressive Wat Phra Kaew, home to the Emerald Buddha, carved from a single piece of jade! After the Grand Palace, we'll continue to Wat Pho, famous for its school of traditional Thai massage and its enormous reclining Buddha. After a lunch break, we'll travel to the mighty Chao Phraya River, where we'll board a longtail boat for a scenic cruise. From this magnificent vantage point, you'll experience the vibrant river life up close and see Bangkok from a whole new perspective. We'll soon leave the main river and enter the canals of Thonburi. There, a more tranquil and traditional way of life awaits you as we meander through the narrow canals – far removed from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. After the longtail boat ride, we'll take a ferry to Wat Arun, one of Bangkok's most famous temples. You'll have the opportunity to admire the pagoda up close and climb a short distance to enjoy the panoramic view over the Chao Phraya River. Our final destination is Wat Traimit with its solid gold Buddha. At the end of the day, we'll take you back to your hotel in Bangkok. Important: Please note the Grand Palace's dress code below.
