From Grand Palace to Temple of Dawn

This full-day tour covers four must-visit attractions of Bangkok: the glittering Royal Grand Palace with the Emerald Buddha, the Wat Pho with the 46-meter long Reclining Buddha and the stunning Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn. Start with the Royal Palace, a complex of buildings, gardens and courtyards in the heart of Bangkok where the Kings and Queens of Thailand lived until 1925. Within the walls of the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the most popular temples to visit: the green-stone statue of Buddha meditating in the lotus position is little, yet very precious. Then proceed to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. After lunch, cross the Chao Phraya River by boat and reach one of Bangkok’s most iconic stupas: the Wat Arun, or Temple of the Dawn.

08:00 am Pick up from the hotel (please wait at the lobby).

09:00 am Visit The Grand Palace. The Palace is a large complex of buildings with different functions: one is the Wat Phra Kaew (the Emerald Buddha) which is a Royal temple and the most popular attraction in Thailand.

12:00 pm Eat a simple lunch in a local restaurant.

Several buildings are still used for official events nowadays.

The spectacular Wat Arun has a unique design and its riverside location in the traditional Yai area of Thonburi district make it for a great spot to observe life on the river and the Wat Pho and the Royal Palace on the opposite bank: just climb the central stupa that rises over 70 meters high, beautifully decorated with Chinese colourful porcelain tiles.
