Overview

Wat Trimitr houses a 3.5 meter-high and 5.5 tonne heavy pure Gold Buddha. The statue came from Ayutthaya in 1767 and escaped the marauding Burmese, because it was hidden under a plaster jacket. It was shipped to Bangkok and as he was to be hoisted in 1956 to its final position, it fell from the crane cable and the real material, pure gold, came to be visible. Continue to Pak Klong Talad, the biggest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok. Most flowers found here are destined to be woven into “Phuang Malai” , garlands used as offerings. Some will be offered to images of Buddha inside temples or on the shrines of private homes. Others will find their way to ancestor spirit shrines, spirit trees, or one of the countless dedications to Hindu gods like Brahma and Indra.

From the nearby pier, we take the public ferry and cross the mighty Chao Phraya River to Bangkok’s best-known landmark, the enchanting Wat Arun(Temple of Dawn).

We were lucky enough to be the only people on the tour. So having that private VIP experience was wonderful. Eddie our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. Eddie and his driver took us to a temple, followed by an amazing flower market. Then onto the final temple by ferry crossing. It was a great experience and great way to see parts of Bangkok.

Ms Nok was a lovely tour guide, very pleasant and spoke good English and accommodated well. We had a wonderful time visiting all the temples in the itinerary and you get ample time learning about them from Ms Nok and photo-taking time for each. The reclining Buddha was stunning and enormous in size! Take note that lunch is not included in this package, only bottled water, so bring cash as Nok the guide suggested a few local places and well worth it!

We were picked up at the hotel on time. Ms Nuj was a great guide teaching us about their religion, Buddhism and the different kings that they had. The temples were majestic. I highly suggest you take the morning tour as there were not much tourists so it feels very serene and calm while going through the different temples. We highly appreciate that we were dropped off at our next destination instead of the hotel. Well recommended and prices included all the entrance fees too
