What To Expect

Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

Our English Speaking guide will meet you at your Bangkok City Area Hotel lobby at 09:00 am. At one end of Chinatown, in what was once an otherwise unremarkable temple of Wat Traimit, sits the world's largest solid gold Buddha image. Made of about 83% pure gold and weighing in at five and a half tons, the 15-foot tall seated image is worth millions of dollars at today's gold prices.
The image has a colorful history, which is recounted in a free pamphlet distributed with your paid admission.

The Golden Buddha was cast sometime in the 13th century and is an excellent example of the gracious Sukhothai style that is still very much in favor to this day. At some point, it was covered in plaster and lacquer, most likely in an attempt to hide the valuable icon from thieves or looters.

The Grand Palace

The Grand Palace is one of the must see sites of Thailand. This complex is one of the most famous landmarks of the country and offers spectacular buildings and sacred sites. The Grand Palace is a magnificent complex of buildings of great significance. Construction of the complex began in 1782 when King Rama I decided to move the capital of Thailand from Thonburi to an area known as Rattanakosin island on the East side of the Chao Phraya river. The complex is surrounded by 1,900 meters long walls and houses among others Royal residences, the throne halls and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It housed the center of government and the Royal Court and became the center of the Kingdom. The Grand Palace served as the official residence of Thai Kings until the reign of King Chulalongkorn at the end of the 19th century.
Today the Palace is used for a number of Royal rituals, state banquets and other official functions. Some parts of the Palace like the Inner Court are not open to the public.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

The Wat Phra Kaew, also known as “the temple of the Emerald Buddha” located within the grounds of the Grand Palace in Bangkok is Thailand’s most sacred temple and an important pilgrimage site for Thai Buddhists. The temple enshrines Thailand’s most highly revered Buddha image, the Emerald Buddha. The image is housed in the ubosot (ordination hall), a very ornate building constructed during the second half of the 18th century after King Rama I had established Bangkok as the new capital of Siam. The walls of the Rattanakosin style building are adorned with murals. A copy of the Emerald Buddha is enshrined in the Wat Phra Kaew in Chiang Rai, where the image resurfaced in the 15th century.

Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)

Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng, is a landmark temple on the west (Thonburi) bank of the Chao Phraya river. It’s easily one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok, not only because of its riverside location but also because the design is very different from the other temples you can visit in Bangkok. Wat Arun (nicknamed the Temple of the Dawn) is partly made up of colourfully decorated spires and stands majestically over the water. Wat Arun was envisioned by King Taksin in 1768. It is believed that after fighting his way out of Ayutthaya, which was taken over by a Burmese army at the time, he arrived at this temple just as dawn was breaking. Across the river from Wat Po is Wat Arun or the temple of Dawn, one of the city’s most important religious sites. Before being moved to Wat Phra Kaew, the emerald Buddha was temporarily housed there. The five towered structure is covered in colorful porcelain and designed as a representation of the Khmer home of the gods. Wat Arun is attractive in its striking pagodas which are decorated with millions of pieces of Chinese porcelain. Its central pagoda at a height of a 20 storey building is the tallest pagoda in Thailand, where a good view of the near surroundings can be seen.

Wat Phra Chetuphon

Wat Pho Temple (also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha) is one of Bangkok's largest temples and a definite must-see for visitors to the city. The Buddha is 46 meters long and gloriously decorated with gold and mother-of-pearl, and the grounds of the temple have hundreds of smaller statues and chedis, a lovely place for a stroll. Wat Pho is also known as one of the best schools of massage in the country, and it was the first public university in Thailand. Finally, it's a perfect chance to return. Besides, drop off you at your Bangkok City Hotel around 5pm.
