What you can expect

Embark on a full-day Bangkok adventure combining royal landmarks, riverside temples, local markets, historic streets, Chinatown heritage, and a memorable Tuk Tuk ride through the city.

Your journey begins at Golden Place near Tha Chang Pier, where your guide will meet you before leading you on a short walk past the famous Amulet Market. Along the way, observe local life as collectors, worshippers, and monks browse small sacred charms believed to bring luck, protection, and blessings.

Continue to the Grand Palace, one of Thailand’s most iconic royal landmarks. Explore the magnificent palace grounds, admire golden stupas, colourful mosaics, and elegant Thai architecture, then visit the sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Learn why this revered temple remains one of the most important spiritual and cultural sites in Thailand.

After the royal visit, board a public boat from Tha Chang Pier and enjoy the breeze along the Chao Phraya River as you travel towards Wat Arun. Known as one of Bangkok’s most beautiful riverside temples, Wat Arun stands out with its tall spires decorated with delicate porcelain details. Take time to explore the temple grounds, enjoy the riverside atmosphere, and capture memorable photos of this Bangkok landmark.

Next, cross the river by ferry to Tha Tien and continue to Wat Pho, home of the impressive Reclining Buddha. Admire the enormous golden statue stretching forty-six metres in length and discover why Wat Pho is also known as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage.

After exploring Wat Pho, take a relaxing lunch break at Home Cafe Tha Tien, a cosy local spot near the riverside. Enjoy time to rest and recharge before continuing the afternoon journey.

In the late afternoon, climb into a classic Tuk Tuk for a fun ride through Bangkok’s historic streets. Pass by some of the city’s famous landmarks and areas, including the Flower Market, the Grand Palace area, Democracy Monument, Loha Prasat, the Giant Swing, and Chinatown. Experience the energy of Bangkok from one of its most iconic forms of transport.

Arrive in Chinatown and visit Wat Traimit, home to the world’s largest solid gold Buddha statue. Learn the fascinating storey of how this priceless statue was once hidden under plaster for centuries before being rediscovered.

The tour ends at Wat Traimit in Chinatown, leaving you perfectly placed to continue exploring Yaowarat Road, Bangkok’s famous street food district, on your own.
