Itinerary
Arrival & Riverside Welcome
Arrive at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang Airport and transfer to your centrally located Bangkok hotel by private vehicle. Settle in and enjoy an afternoon at leisure. In the early evening, take a stroll to Tha Maharaj riverside community mall and watch the sunset over the Chao Phraya River. Optionally explore nearby Khao San Road for street food and local scene.
Tip: Flight arrival times may vary — we recommend early arrival to maximize your first evening and adjust the following day’s start time if needed.
Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew & Wat Pho
After breakfast, meet your licensed guide for a full-day cultural and pilgrimage tour. Begin at the iconic Grand Palace and the Wat Phra Kaew (Emerald Buddha) — Thailand’s most sacred shrine. Continue to Wat Pho to admire the magnificent Reclining Buddha and, if you wish, enjoy a short traditional Thai foot massage at the temple’s massage school.
Lunch at a local restaurant with classic Thai dishes. In the afternoon, stroll through nearby markets to experience local crafts and temple offerings.
Dress code: Shoulders and knees must be covered for entry into the Grand Palace and most temples. Bring a scarf or wear modest attire; sarongs/sashes are available for rent at the entrance if needed.
Wat Arun, Thonburi Canals & Chinatown
Begin with a short riverboat transfer across the Chao Phraya to Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) — climb the riverside prang for panoramic views (subject to safety access). Next, explore the historic Thonburi canals (khlongs) on a longtail boat to see traditional wooden houses and riverside life.
After a riverside lunch, visit Chinatown (Yaowarat) to sample street food, visit Chinese shrines, and shop for herbal remedies and local goods. End the day at a rooftop vantage or a riverside cafe to take in the city lights.
Note: Canal trips can be affected by tides and weather; alternate scenic drives or market visits will be arranged if needed.
Markets, Last-Minute Shopping & Departure
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and check out. Use your final morning for last-minute shopping at MBK Center, Chatuchak (weekend departures only), or explore local artisan shops near your hotel. Depending on your flight schedule, visit any missed highlights or relax with a short traditional Thai massage.
Private transfer to Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang Airport for your onward flight.
