Temples & City
Itinerary
08:00 hrs.
Depart from your hotel and head to Rattanakosin Island, the historic heart of Bangkok.
Passing through beautiful city scenery of the colorful flower market and Chinatown. The bustling business area of Chinatown is especially known for its gold jewellery shops. The atmosphere is totally changed at night - hordes of food stalls line the streets.
- Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha), founded in the 16th century, the oldest and biggest temple with the largest number of pagodas (95 in all) in the city. Wat Pho was the first open university of Thailand which offered courses in several branches of knowledge like literature, astrology, medicine and massage. It’s well known for its huge Reclining Buddha, 46 m. long and 15 m. high.
Hop on a public ferry and glide across the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun. Marvel at the temple’s striking towers, especially stunning at dawn or dusk. Explore the peaceful monastery grounds, a hidden gem filled with architectural delights and tranquil spots.
- Wat Arun or The Temple of Dawn, is one of Bangkok’s best know landmark. It stands on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Thon Buri. Wat Arun is best seen from the opposite bank of the river; it glistens in the sunlight during the day and stands dark and noble at dawn or dusk. A visit to the beautiful, peaceful monastery complex surrounding the familiar towers is very worth-while. These towers, the Phra Prang, although best known, the only part of Wat Arun. It also contains narrow lanes; elegant, old white buildings; shrines, pools of turtles; and two fine giants, Yuk Wat Jaeng, mortal enemies of the Yuk Wat Po across the river.
- Marble Temple or Wat Benchamabopit, one of the most modern works of Thai religious architecture. Graceful and tranquil, it is famous for its main chapel built in white Carara Italian marble to house a replica of Thailand’s most beautiful Buddha image, Phra Phutthachinarat. Return to Hotel

Susan - Thailand - 2025-07-01
"This was my parents’ first trip to Thailand, even though I’ve visited several times before.
We had dreamed of seeing the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and it was even more beautiful than we imagined.
I booked the private tour so my elderly parents could enjoy everything at a comfortable pace. The guide was calm, patient, and never rushed us.
The van was brand new, spacious, and equipped with umbrellas and a wheelchair (which we used for free!).
Booking this kind of private service made everything so much easier for my parents — they felt relaxed the whole time.
Thank you to our lovely guide and kind driver for making this such a memorable day!" Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Temple + Wat Pho + Wat Arun
