Bangkok Essential Temple Tour
In this rich cultural tour, we will explore the three most prominent temples in Bangkok.
Starting off at the magnificent Emerald Buddha Temple, located inside of the Grand Palace, you will see Thailand’s most adorned (and mysterious) Buddha statue. Tread carefully as the giant demon guardians watch your every step! Next on, we will cross the Chao Phraya River and climb up the central tower of Wat Arun, or the Temple of Dawn, to admire its intricate decoration close up. Ultimately, we will take a look at the treasures of Wat Pho which have been recognized by UNESCO as a “Memory of the World”. It is in this old monastery where the world-famous Reclining Buddha resides.
The Bangkok Essential Temple Tour is a great introduction to Buddhist temples and highly recommended for first-time travelers in Thailand!
