About this activity
Meet your personal guide upon hotel pickup and set off by private minivan to the Grand Palace, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the heart of Bangkok. Gain admission to the palace complex, which comprises several courtyards, temples, pagodas, and gardens. Learn about the former royal residence, home to kings of Siam from 1782 to 1925, and see the highlights, including the Funeral Hall and Coronation Hall. Get a look inside the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, whose statue was actually carved from a piece of solid jade.
Adjacent to the Grand Palace stands the city’s oldest temple, Wat Pho. Marvel at the 140-foot-long (43-meter) Reclining Buddha covered in gold leaf alongside 1,000 Buddha images. Wat Traimit (Temple of the Golden Buddha) is your final stop. Admire the temple's namesake, constructed of solid gold and covered in plaster for centuries until it was rediscovered in the 1950s.
Your 6-hour itinerary includes lunch before concluding with a private transfer back to your hotel.

Our guide was Ms. Maliwan. She was extremely knowledgeable of any subject matter related to the Temples. Many people along the way knew her, so she is obviously a very experienced guide. Highly recommend her and this tour.
