Stop At: Chao Phraya River, 780/488 Charoen Krung Road, Bang Kho Laem, Bangkok 10120 Thailand

Like all urban rivers, the history of the Chao Phraya is intertwined with the city it flows through. The original site was chosen by early settlers because of its fertility and abundant fish. Later, King Taksin, after the fall of Ayutthaya to the Burmese, located his new capital here on the western banks that's today known as Thonburi.
Cross Chao Phraya River by boat to visit Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn).

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun), 158 Thanon Wang Doem, Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok 10600 Thailand

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 the Thai capital. Wat Arun (nicknamed the 'Temple of Dawn') is partly made up of colourfully decorated spires and stands majestically over the water.

Duration: 30 minutes

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, covered in gold leaf. This an A World Heritage Site

Amazing to drive through Bangkok to and from the central meeting point. The temples were amazing, and the guide tried hard to communicate with us but had some difficulty. The boat trip was a good way to view the temples and city from a different perspective.

Our tour guide Wan was great. She was on time, extremely knowledgeable and very funny. We enjoyed spending time with while enjoying the cultural experience of the two beautiful temples.

This Buddha is huge. You will need to remove your shoes. You may take photos. Buy coins at the entrance so you can drop one in each of the 108 bowls on the back side of the Buddha. You are to make a wish at each bowl as you drop the coin in. The coins reflect the 108 good deeds Buddha did to achieve perfection. Do make sure you cover your knees and shoulders. Hats are not to be worn inside either.

Beautiful grounds, we went at midday and it wasn’t too busy. All the temples are soo well kept. It really is beautiful. You can take your own sarong or rent one there but remember women cover your shoulders too.

This is one of the most visited temple as part of three temple visit tour. You can see large Buddha idol as reclining position. Best place to take picture of full idol is at foot part. Having other attraction like fountain and various sculptures and temple at same area. Can enjoy 30 minutes time with worshiping God Buddha here.. A must do attraction of Bangkok.
