- 🕓 Duration 1 day
Morning departure around 8:00 AM from your hotel to explore the Thai capital and its must-see temples. Depending on the type of visit you choose (guide only, driver only, or both guide and driver), transportation will be by public transit or private car.
First stop: Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, one of the most sacred places in Thailand (long pants and closed shoes required). Discover this magnificent complex, which includes the famous Wat Phra Kaew temple and its highly revered Emerald Buddha statue, dating back to the 14th century. The central courtyard houses the King’s residence and the halls of state affairs. Only two of the throne halls are open to the public.
After taking in the grandeur of the Grand Palace, you’ll head to Wat Arun, a riverside temple along the Chao Phraya River, one of the most iconic landmarks of Bangkok that you’ve likely seen in many photos.
Wat Pho temple is also a must-see in the capital, thanks to its massive Reclining Buddha image. It is the oldest and largest temple complex in Bangkok, housing over 1,000 images of the Buddha. It is especially famous for its 46-meter-long and 15-meter-high gold-plated Reclining Buddha.
If you wish, a short boat ride in the nearby area can be arranged before heading into the impressive maze of Chinatown for the final visit of the day. You will then return to your hotel around 5:30 PM.

We had an excellent time with Noki, who helped us better understand how royal and non-royal temples work! This temple-to-temple walk was very interesting and immediately gave us a wonderful overview of Bangkok!
