Morning, breakfast at the hotel then meet our guide and driver to Experience Bangkok’s highlights and history on a full-day tour through the heart of the city, first a visit to the Royal Grand Palace, the nation’s landmark and most praised royal monument in Thailand, with the enclosed and dazzling Wat Phra Keo with its revered Emerald Buddha, the Golden Chedi, the Pantheon of the Chakri Kings and the Eight Coloured Towers, is a must. In Thailand by many, it is considered to be a living example of the classical Siamese Court, being the former residence of the kings of Thailand. Wat Pho is also regarded as the first center of public education and is sometimes called ‘Thailand’s first university’. Mural paintings, inscriptions, and statues found in the temple educated people on varied subjects such as literature, warfare, archaeology, astronomy, geology, and meditation and it is considered, the home of the Thai traditional massage. Here, you will enjoy a 30-minute Thai massage as an excellent break after a morning sightseeing (not including the Massage fee).
Lunch at a local restaurant and after lunch time you enjoy an afternoon trip along the bustling Chao Phya River and the quiet Klongs (canals) in a long tail boat or big boat enjoy scenes of life by water. We bring you to a more traditional way of living, more serene and traditional, away from all the high-rise and modern buildings of Bangkok City Centre, as we gently pass Thonburi residential areas. A stop will be made at the “Temple of Dawn” (officially named Wat Arun). Finally, a visit to the Flower and vegetable market will round off this day. Located close to the Chao Phraya River, this part of Bangkok brings you to a rural piece of Bangkok where they have a vast selection of all kinds of flowers, especially orchids and tropical flowers, and see how the merchants create very special flower garlands. The end of this Bangkok day ends at the Golden Mountain.
