Itinerary

08:30 hrs.: Depart from your hotel and head to Rattanakosin Island, the historic heart of Bangkok.
: Wat Traimit (The Temple of the Golden Buddha):
Visit Wat Traimit, also known as the Temple of the Golden Buddha, is situated in Bangkok’s Chinatown. The highlight of this temple is a massive golden Buddha statue, which is the world’s largest solid gold statue, weighing over five tons. Visitors can explore the temple grounds and learn about the history of the Golden Buddha.

Continue the tour visit Chinatown. The bustling business area of Chinatown is especially known for its gold jewellery shops. Chinatown in Bangkok is centered around Yaowarat Road. It’s a vibrant, colorful area with its bustling street markets, gold shops, Chinese restaurants, shrines, temples, old shophouses, Chinese language neon signs and maze of narrow alleyways. The area has kept its cultural identity intact and thankfully avoided commercial redevelopment. Examples of well-preserved colonial-style architecture are abundant.
: - 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.
: Set sail on a private Long-tail boat, venturing along the Chao Phraya River and into the heart of the Thonburi area’s intricate canals.

Highlights include the Grand Palace, The Temple of Dawn, and other significant landmarks, offering a glimpse into Bangkok’s rich history and cultural heritage.
: Continue your exploration with a sightseeing drive along Ratchadumnoen Rd, affectionately known as the Royal’s Way. This route is dotted with significant sites, including the City Pillar Shrine, National Museum, Democracy Monument, and the Anantasamakhom Palace, offering a panoramic view of Bangkok’s historical and cultural landmarks.
