Highlights

Bangkok - Following hotel pick up from Bangkok city area hotel at 9 am by English speaking guide start your private Bangkok half day city tour.
Wat Phra Chetuphon - Your first stop will be Wat Pho. Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is the most established and biggest Buddhist temple in Bangkok. It is home to more Buddha pictures than some other Bangkok temple and it shields the largest Buddha in Thailand.
The Grand Palace - You will continue to visit The Grand Palace. The Grand Palace was a former residence for King Rama I to King Rama V of the Rattanakosin Kingdom. Today, the place is used for hosting royal ceremonies and welcoming the king’s guests, State guests, and other foreign dignitaries. It is also a place where remains of kings and high-ranked members of the royal family were situated before cremation.
Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) - Keep on enjoying Wat Phra Kaew. The Wat Phra Kaew, otherwise 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), an extremely ornate building constructed during the second half of the eighteenth century subsequent to King Rama I having established Bangkok as the new capital of Siam. The walls of the Rattanakosin style building are decorated with paintings.
Amulet Market - Your next stop will be Amulet Market. A market offering amulets and Buddha statues in Wat Ratchanadda offers substantially more than just religious knickknacks and images. Souvenir ideas include khon masks delicately crafted by hand. It is always a hive of activity with collectors coming from all over Thailand and spending thousands of baht for a rare prized original. There are thousands of amulets, Buddha’s, statues, ornaments of Thai monks and so forth starting from a few baht up to unimaginable prices. Each Amulet is unique and brings a specific form of luck.
Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun) - Next you will visit Wat Arun. One of Bangkok’s most famous landmarks and known from many postcards, the Wat Arun is best known for its massive prang, a tower on the Chao Phra river bank built in Khmer architectural style. The prang with its height of more than 80 meters is the tallest in Thailand.The Wat Arun, commonly known as “the Temple of Dawn”, is one of only six temples of the highest grade of the five star Royal Temples, and therefore one of Thailand’s most esteemed temples.Finally, itâs time to return. You will be dropped off at your Bangkok City hotel safely at approximately 2 pm.
