Overview

'Bangkok' is the English version for the Kingdom of Thailand's capital city. Thais know it by its abbreviated name, 'Krung Thep'. The full name happens to give it the distinction of being the city with the longest name in the world! Discover the Bangkok of today and yesterday in this three hour city tour which takes you to three of the most distinguished temples in the city, The Golden Temple, The Temple of the Reclining Buddha and The Marble Temple.

This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple), 69 Nakornpathom Rd Dusit, Bangkok 10300 Thailand

Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram is a Buddhist temple in the Dusit District of Bangkok, Thailand. Also known as the marble temple, it is one of Bangkok's best-known temples and a major tourist attraction. It typifies Bangkok's ornate style of high gables, stepped-out roofs and elaborate finials.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Wat Phra Chetuphon, 2 Sanamchai Road Grand Palace Subdistrict, Pranakorn District, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha), or Wat Phra Chetuphon, is right behind the Temple of the Emerald Buddha – it’s a must-see for any first-time visitor to Bangkok. As one of the largest temple complexes in the city, it’s famed for its giant reclining Buddha that is 46 metres long and covered in gold leaf.


Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit), 661 Chaoren Krung Road Talad Noi, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand

Wat Traimit in Bangkok is known for housing a 5.5-tonne statue of a seated Buddha. The gold sculpture dates back to the 13th century and measures at nearly 5 metres in height. Located in Chinatown Bangkok, this ornate temple is about 450 metres west of the Hualampong Railway Station.


Duration: 45 minutes

Pass By: Democracy Monument, Ratchadamnern Klang Road, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

The Democracy Monument was started in 1939 to commemorate the 1932 revolution that ended the absolute monarchy and introduced Siam's first constitution. The design of the monument is full of symbolism. For example, the four wings are each 24 meters high, signifying the 24th of June date the new constitution was signed. The location of the monument, between the old Grand Palace and the Dusit Palace, is also significant. A copy of the original constitution is held in central pedestal.

Pass By: ASAI Bangkok Chinatown, 531 Charoen Krung Road, Khwaeng Pom Prap, Khet Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10100, Thailand

Bangkok’s Chinatown is a popular tourist attraction and a food haven for new generation gourmands who flock here after sunset to explore the vibrant street-side cuisine. At day time, it’s no less busy, as hordes of shoppers descend upon this 1-km strip and adjacent Charoenkrung Road to get a day’s worth of staple, trade gold, or pay a visit to one of the Chinese temples. Packed with market stalls, street-side restaurants and a dense concentration of gold shops, Chinatown is an experience not to miss

The whole trip was indeed value for money. we were able to capture lots of instagram worthy pictures. The historical background from the tour guide made it more interesting. We were in awe with their artistry and creativity, fascinated by their rich culture. Amazed how they were able to preserve important landmarks. We are surely privilege enough to witness all of its grandiosity.

A well executed tour, and a must-do for visitors to Bangkok. While you can visit these temples on your own, visiting them through this tour with a guide makes all the difference. Our guide Nan spoke very good English. Our favourite temple was the one with Reclining Buddha.
