Itinerary
07:00 hrs.
Upon arrival at the arrival terminal of Laem Chabang Port, guests will be warmly welcomed and assisted by a local English-speaking guide. Following the meet and greet, the journey will continue with a comfortable transfer to Bangkok via a private vehicle equipped with air-conditioning. The approximate duration of the drive is around 2 hours, ensuring a smooth and pleasant journey to the destination.
09:00 hrs.
Visit Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, within the Grand Palace grounds. Explore the temple courtyards and see the ornate architecture of Bangkok's former royal residence. Access to individual buildings depends on the palace's visiting arrangements.
10:00 hrs.
Travel by long-tail boat through the Thonburi canals, passing waterside homes, temples and neighbourhoods. The view from the boat offers a different perspective on Bangkok beyond its busy streets. The landmarks and stops depend on your selected route. Embark on a private long-tail boat tour along the Chao Phraya River and canals in the Thonburi area. As you cruise along the water, you’ll be treated to a unique perspective of the city. Admire the traditional wooden houses and stilt houses that line the canals, and observe the local way of life as you pass by bustling markets and ancient temples. You’ll be able to see the famous long-tail boats, used for transportation and sightseeing, speeding by. The private nature of the tour will provide a more intimate and personalized experience as you explore the waterways. As you relax on the boat, take in the peaceful atmosphere and enjoy the picturesque scenery of Thai life along the river banks.
11:00 hrs.
Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, rises above the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya River. Explore the temple grounds and look closely at its decorated towers, with time to take in the riverside setting.
