What To Expect
The Grand Palace
2 hours • Admission Ticket Included
Wat Phra Chetuphon
It is associated with King Rama I who rebuilt the temple complex on an earlier temple site. It became his main temple and is where some of his ashes are enshrined.
The temple was later expanded and extensively renovated by Rama III. The temple complex houses the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand, including a 46 m long reclining Buddha. The temple is considered the earliest centre for public education in Thailand, and the marble illustrations and inscriptions placed in the temple for public instructions has been recognised by UNESCO in its Memory of the World Programme. It houses a school of Thai medicine, and is also known as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage which is still taught and practiced at the temple.
60 minutes • Admission Ticket Included
Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)
60 minutes • Admission Ticket Included
Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)
Wat Arun is almost directly opposite Wat Pho, so it’s very easy to get to. From Saphan Taksin boat pier you can take a riverboat that stops at Pier 8. From here, a small shuttle boat takes you from one side of the river to the other.

Reviews
We were ready early so decided to head to the lobby to wait which was great timing as our guide was also early and we were able to set off before the scheduled pick up time.
The trip included the Grand Palace, Golden Buddha and the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and our guide was very knowledgeable and really informative which helped us to get more out of the day than had we ventured out on our own.
Booking a Sunday and being there early also meant that some of the roads were quieter and we were able to get around quite easily.
Our driver was great and kept us stocked up with bottled water. For lunch we ate at one of the food courts near our hotel so only had a couple of minutes walk back.
If you've not been to Bangkok before I'd definitely recommend this trip, it's so much easier than navigating your own way round and the guide really helps to get the most out of what you're seeing.
It was a fab day all round
car was clean
we were waiting for others and then found out it was a private tour
service was 10/10
temples are worth the visit
lunch was very good
