Bangkok, Thailand Tours and Activities

We will begin our tour with a visit to Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and its nearby attractions before moving on to the Grand Palace. Located next to each other, these sites offer one of the most impressive spectacles in Bangkok. The Royal Grand Palace, a must-see landmark and Thailand’s most praised royal monument, served as the royal residence of the Chakri Kings for over 150 years. Built in 1782 by King Rama I, the palace is a perfect example of an ancient Siamese court and features over 100 brightly colored buildings, golden spires, and glittering mosaics, all dating back to the foundation of Bangkok. Next, we take a short walk to Wat Pho, home to the Reclining Buddha. Wat Pho is known as the first center of public education in Thailand, sometimes referred to as ‘Thailand’s first university.’ Its murals, inscriptions, and statues cover subjects like literature, warfare, archaeology, astronomy, geology, and meditation. Wat Pho is also considered the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. We will then take a shuttle boat across the Chao Phraya River to visit Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). This famous riverbank landmark is best known for its porcelain-encrusted 79-meter central pagoda. *Photography is allowed in the Royal Palace Grounds and the compounds of the Emerald Buddha Temple but not inside the buildings. *Dress Code: The chapel is a national shrine, so proper attire is required (no bare shoulders, knees, or strapless-heel shoes). Shoes must be removed before entering the temple buildings as a sign of respect.

Known locally as Klong Ton Khem Floating Market, it actually comprises three floating markets. The main market is a narrow canal lined with food stalls and souvenir shops. Photographers will find great vantage points from the bridge crossing the canal and the shed on the right. A 30-minute paddle boat ride through the floating market is included in the tour price, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the bustling activity that peaks from early morning until around 11:00 am.

In the nineteenth century, Bangkok was crisscrossed with canals, earning it the nickname ‘Venice of the East.’ Today, the surviving canals and the Chao Phraya River, also known as the River of Kings, offer a glimpse into a traditional waterborne way of life that has endured through the centuries.

Visit the former capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya, situated approximately 75 kilometres north of Bangkok and which is one of those destinations you have to see. The mix of cultures in Ayutthaya began in the mid-16th century when ships from Ayutthaya plied the Asian seas, trading with neighbouring countries. When the Dutch showed up in the 17th century, Ayutthaya became a port city and trade routes were extended to China, Japan, Indonesia, Portugal, Holland and France and even up to the Scandinavian countries later. Although the ancient villages of foreign traders lining on the Chao Phraya riverbanks were abandoned when the city was sacked by Burmese troops in 1767, some remnants have survived and now showcase the city’s past glory.
