Our English Speaking guide will meet you at your Bangkok City Area Hotel campaign at 09:00 am. Your first stop will be Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit).

Stop At: Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit), 661 Chaoren Krung Road Talad Noi, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand

The Temple of Golden Buddha or Wat Traimit is located in the Yaowarat Road in Chinatown, Bangkok. The temple is largely unremarkable, like the thousands of other Buddhist Temples in the city - except for the fact that it houses the world’s largest gold image of Buddha.
The statue is made in the Sukhothai style of the 14th Century, although it could have been made after that period - the origins of the statue are still unknown. At some point in time, the statue was covered in stucco and plaster, so as to protect it from theft and the Burmese invasion. It worked, and the statue remained in Ayutthaya without attracting any attention. Later, when King Rama I shifted capitals to Bangkok, he ordered his men to bring back all the religious figurines and images from the destroyed city. And so it remained, for over a century and a half with nobody discovering its true worth under humble tin roofing. In 1954, when the statue was to be moved to a newly constructed viharn, it is said that the statue fell down, with the gold being revealed under the broken plaster. Its current housing, the large new building at Wat Traimit, was inaugurated on Valentine’s Day, 2010.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: The Grand Palace, Na Phra Lan Rd, Maharaj Pier next to Wat Phra Kaeo Temple Complex, Bangkok Thailand

Bangkok's Grand Palace is the granddaddy of the many things to see in Thailand's capital city. The sprawling complex houses ornate structures that speak to the grandeur of Thai architectural tradition and history. Built in 1782, the palace was commissioned by then-king Rama I, who founded Thailand's Chakri Dynasty.
During the centuries since it was first built, the palace grounds have been well maintained with particular care being taken to preserve and restore the palace's extensive murals. It's worth the splurge to experience a piece of Thailand's royal history firsthand.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), Na Phra Lan Road Phra Borom Maha Rajawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Phra Kaeo, is the most sacred structure in the Kingdom and the repository of the spirit for all the Thai people. The history of the Emerald Buddha itself dates back more than 600 years and also represents the struggle of the Thai people to maintain their independence from foreign aggressors.In the 18th century, world architecture had pretty much become European architecture. But there was a wonderful exception and that was the Wat Phra Kaew in Thailand. As an independent kingdom, called Siam back then, this nation combined traditional and foreign elements, creating a unique building of astonishing beauty. Let's find out more. The Wat Phra Kaew is a Buddhist temple located in the center of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. It was built by the end of the 18th century, inside the grounds of the Royal Palace close to the banks of the Chao Phraya river and it consists of a series of structures, all enclosed by a perimeter wall.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Chinatown - Bangkok, Yaowarat Road Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand

Bangkok’s Chinatown is a popular tourist attraction and a food haven for new generation gourmands who flock here after sunset to explore the vibrant street-side cuisine. At day time, it’s no less busy, as hordes of shoppers descend upon this 1-km strip and adjacent Charoenkrung Road to get a day’s worth of staple, trade gold, or pay a visit to one of the Chinese temples.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market), Jakkrapet Road, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

Bangkok Flower Market (Pak Klong Talad) is the biggest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok. The market has all kinds of popular flowers and flora-related items, including roses, forget me nots, orchids, lilies and more. Most of them sold in packs of 50 or 100 flowers in each, and prices are amazingly cheap. Part of the Old City, Bangkok Flower market is located on Chak Phet Road near Saphan Phut or the Memorial Bridge. Shops and vendors are housed inside two to three-storey shop-houses on both sides of the main road. The market lies just south of Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and has access to a river pier, so it makes for a great one-day trip when combined with other historical attractions in the Old City.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), 34 Wang Doem Road Wat Arun, Bang Kok Yai, Bangkok 10600 Thailand

Wat Arun Ratchawararam, meaning Temple of Dawn, is also know locally as Wat Chaeng. The temple, which is named after the Indian God Aruna (God of Dawn) sits majestically on the Thonburi side (west bank) of the Chao Phraya River and is easily one of the most recognizable and memorable landmarks of Bangkok’s skyline. The most spectacular view of the glittering monument can be seen from the east side of the river at sunset as Wat Arun’s colorfully decorated spires sparkle radiantly over the water.Wat Arun was envisioned by King Taksin in 1768. It is believed that after fighting his way out of Ayutthaya, which was taken over by a Burmese army at the time, he arrived at this temple just as dawn was breaking.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho), 2 Sanamchai Road. Prabarom Maharajawang, Pranakorn, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

The Wat Pho or “Temple of the Reclining Buddha” is one of Bangkok’s most attractive temples. It is a much visited temple complex due to its location immediately South of the Grand Palace and the huge Reclining Buddha image it houses.
The temple that is officially named Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkhalaram is one of the six temples in Thailand that are of the highest grade of the first class Royal temples.
At last, it's an ideal opportunity to return. Furthermore, drop off you at your Bangkok City Hotel around 5 pm.
