What To Expect

Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)
Offering this tour both in the morning as well as in the afternoon, our guide and driver pick you up from your hotel in Bangkok for 4 hours of getting an impression of the most stunning temples of Bangkok.

Our tour commences at the temple with the invaluable Golden Buddha. Located in Bangkok’s thriving Chinatown district, Wat Trimitr (also called Wat Traimit) is best known as the home of the largest known solid gold Buddha image in the world. Standing at 15 feet tall and weighing in at approximately 5.5 tons, this 700-year old statue has an interesting history.

Wat Phra Chetuphon
Driving through Chinatown, we arrive shortly at the grounds of Wat Po. This large and extensive temple neighbors the Grand Palace enclave and contains a gigantic gold plated Reclining Buddha, some 46 meters long and 15 meters high, with beautifully inlaid mother-of-pearl soles. Considered to be one of the worlds’ most famous temples, Wat Pho is also regarded as the first centre of public education and is sometimes called ‘Thailand’s first university’

45 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)
Finally, we stop at Wat Benjamaborpitr or also called the White Marble Temple, one of the finest examples of Thai architecture and noted for its elegant white marble façade. Designed by the foremost Thai architect of the time, Prince Narissaranuwatwong, the temple was constructed of imported Italian marble. Inside the main chapel, is situated the country’s most captivating Buddha’s image.

After this introduction to Thai Buddhist temples, we bring you back to your hotel.

Very friendly and very professional
The tour guy knows what he is doing and we enjoyed our tour in Thailand. We will definitely be coming back to Thailand for our next touring.
Very informative tour
Duane M, 02-09-2019
Picked up at our hotel by a very knowledgeable tour guide. Just the two of us in a private car made the afternoon very enjoyable. We covered the three temples listed online as well as some information regarding the city of Bangkok. Would highly recommend the tour for anyone interested in knowing more about the history and culture of Bangkok.
Good way to beat the crowds!

Scheduled a private, half-day tour, with hotel pick up. They were prompt, courteous and well informed. The guide seemed to know the “back ways” to get in, and the driver was adept at navigating what seemed like harrowing Bangkok traffic.

A good experience that we recommend to others.
Informative but overpriced
pfern2014, 08-02-2020
Our tour guide, John, was very knowledgeable about the sites and the surrounding neighborhoods. But P2000 (about US$40) per person is way too expensive for just a morning tour consisting of three temples.
