The Grand Palace

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
The Grand Palace, a majestic symbol of Thailand's royal heritage, is located in the heart of Bangkok. Built in 1782, it served as the official residence of the Kings of Siam for over 150 years. The palace is a stunning example of traditional Thai architecture, featuring elaborate gold-plated buildings, intricate carvings, and colourful murals. Within the palace complex lies the Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), which houses Thailand’s most revered religious artefact, the Emerald Buddha. The Grand Palace remains a major cultural and historical landmark, offering a glimpse into Thailand's royal past and its artistic grandeur.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The Emerald Buddha, located in Wat Phra Kaew at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, is one of Thailand's most sacred and revered artefacts. Carved from a single block of jade, the statue stands about 66 cm tall and is believed to have been created in the 14th century. Despite its name, it is not made of emerald but of green jade or jasper. The Emerald Buddha has a long and mysterious history, with its origins often debated, though it is thought to have originated in northern Thailand, Laos, or India before being brought to Bangkok. The statue is dressed in seasonal robes, which are changed three times a year by the King of Thailand in an important royal ceremony, symbolising the changing seasons and the close connection between the monarchy and the nation's well-being. The Emerald Buddha is not just a religious icon but also a national symbol, representing prosperity and protection for the Thai people.

Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Wat Arun, or the Temple of Dawn, is a striking Buddhist temple situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The temple is renowned for its towering central prang (spire), which rises 79 metres and is decorated with colourful porcelain and intricate mosaics. Named after the Hindu god Aruna, symbolising the dawn, Wat Arun has been a prominent landmark since the Ayutthaya period. It was expanded during the reign of King Rama II. The temple offers stunning views of the river and remains a key symbol of Thailand’s cultural and religious heritage.

Amulet Market

  • 1h
The Amulet Market in Bangkok, located near the Loha Prasat at Wat Ratchanaddaram, is a lively hub for spiritual and religious items. The market is renowned for its wide selection of amulets, believed to bring protection, luck, and blessings. These amulets range from small Buddha figures to rare, collectible pieces, often made of metal, clay, or jade. Locals and visitors flock to the market for both traditional and modern charms. It's an excellent place to explore Thai spiritual culture and pick up unique souvenirs with meaningful significance.

The Reclining Buddha

Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is a renowned temple in Bangkok, famous for its stunning 46-meter-long statue of the Buddha lying on his side. The statue is covered in gold leaf and symbolises the Buddha's transition into nirvana. Established in the 16th century, Wat Pho is also recognised as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, offering massage schools and treatments.
