Full description

Explore the top sights in Bangkok on this day trip. Visit the Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha, Wat Arun, and take a stroll through the vibrant and bustling old market in Chinatown.

Cross the Chao Phraya River on a boat ride. Begin your 7-hour tour with a pick-up from the main lobby of your hotel in Bangkok at 08:00 AM.

Then, visit the Grand Palace and Temple of Emerald Buddha, the former residence of the kings of Thailand since 1782, by local public transport. Learn about Thai history and culture from your personal tour guide. After the Grand Palace and Temple of Emerald Buddha, continue to Wat Pho or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha where you can marvel at the great Reclining Buddha.

Cross the magnificent Chao Phraya River by public boat to visit Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn. It is one of the must-visit landmarks in Bangkok where you can spot its famous giant tower, standing 70 meters high. Have an optional Thai lunch at the local restaurant before transferring to Chinatown by subway train.

Explore Chinatown and the old market to observe the local way of life. Your journey will end with a return transfer to your hotel in Bangkok.

Instead of using public transport, you can select the option to have a private air-conditioned car for your trip. There is also the option to book a private canal tour in Bangkok by long-tail boat for approximately 1 hour.

Comprehensive tour of city highlights. We chose the walking tour to get to use all transportation- taxi, tuktuk, water taxi, metro. Well worth the effort - we did 15,000 steps. Lucky was a great guide. Always knew where to stand for best photo opportunities. Very professional and knowledgeable.

We had an amazing tour guide Pond! He was so knowledgable we learned so much about thai history and also the culture and religion. He even helped us get our new year's fortune at one of the temples. He knew all the best spots for amazing pictures. We had a great day
