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

The Grand Palace is one of many palaces in Thailand. It is the best preserved, largest and most national palace of all dynasties. Also known as the "Forbidden City", it is still used for coronation ceremonies, court celebrations and other ceremonial activities. The Bangkok Dynasty lived in the Grand Palace from Rama I to Rama VIII. After the assassination of Rama VIII in the palace in 1946, Rama IX moved to live in the newly built Jilada Palace east of the palace. Now, the Grand Palace is not only used for coronation ceremonies, court celebrations and other ceremonies and activities, but also open to the outside world at ordinary times. It has become a famous tourist site in Thailand. The garden is full of green grass, flowers and trees.

Duration: 1 hour

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

The most sacred place of Thai Buddhism. It is located in the Royal Palace of Bangkok, Thailand. It was built with the Royal Palace in 1789. The most important monastery in Bangkok, where the royal family held religious ceremonies, was built by Rama I during the construction of the palace. On 27 March 1784, the Jade Buddha was invited to worship in the monastery. Every summer, rainy season and winter season, the King will personally change clothes for the Jade Buddha. The two Buddha statues in front of the Buddha represent Emperor I and Emperor II respectively. Each one uses 38 kilograms of gold. There are murals painted on all sides of the hall, completed by Rama I, on both sides of the hall. The doors and windows are square and pointed. The frames are covered with gold foil and stained glass. The door panels and window panels are excellent works with shells.

Duration: 1 hour

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

Also called Dawn Temple. This temple was an ancient temple during the Great City Dynasty, called "Maka Temple". It is said that when King Zheng expelled the Burmese Army, he went down the Mekonan River and passed through the temple of King Zheng at dawn, so he ordered to go ashore to worship in the temple. King Zheng ascended the throne and ordered the temple to be rebuilt and renamed "Dawn Temple". Another saying about this temple, which is called "Dawn Temple", is that the highest spire in the temple is straight into the clouds, 79 meters high. People think it is the first place to touch the sunshine every day, so they give it the name "Dawn Temple". The 79-metre-high Pagoda in the Temple of King Zheng was built in 1842. It belongs to the Mahayana Shrine Pagoda style. Its exterior decoration is complex sculpture, and it is inlaid with various colored ceramics, glass and shells. It is the largest Mahayana Pagoda in Thailand. There are four accompanying pagodas
