What to expect
Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)
158 Thanon Wang Doem, Bangkok, 10600, Thailand
As we cross the Chao Phraya River on our way to Thonburi, you’ll catch a beautiful glimpse of Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn. This iconic riverside temple is one of Bangkok’s most famous landmarks, with its central Khmer-style prang (tower) rising elegantly above the water, adorned with intricate porcelain mosaics that shimmer in the sunlight. ***** Please note that we will NOT get off at Wat Arun. You will only see it from the river while on our way to Thonburi.
Baan Silapin
Phet Kasem 20, Bangkok, 10160, Thailand
Tucked away along the peaceful banks of Khlong Bang Luang (Bang Luang Canal) on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River lies one of Bangkok’s hidden gems: a charming riverside community where time seems to slow down. This historic neighborhood is made up of traditional wooden houses, small local shops, and family-run galleries connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the canal. It offers a rare glimpse into what everyday life in Bangkok used to be like, long before the city’s skyline was dominated by concrete and glass. At the heart of the community is Baan Silapin, or The Artist’s House, a beautifully restored wooden home over 200 years old. Dedicated to preserving and celebrating Thai culture, this house functions as a small art center where visitors can enjoy rotating art exhibitions and handmade crafts. Wandering through the area, you’ll find small shops, cozy riverside cafés, and friendly locals who’ve lived here for generations.
Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen
300 Ratchamongkhon Prasat Alley, Pak Khlong Phasi Charoen, Phasi Charoen, Bangkok, 10160, Thailand
As we cruise through the canals of Thonburi, we pass by Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, a historic temple founded during the mid-Ayutthaya period.
The Grand Palace
Na Phra Lan Rd, Next To Wat Phra Kaeo Temple Complex, Bangkok, 10200, Thailand
The glittering Grand Palace in Bangkok is an architectural wonder that was once home to the kings of the Chakri Dynasty.
Sao Chingcha (the Giant Swing)
239 Dinso Rd, Bangkok, 10200, Thailand
The Giant Swing is a religious structure. It was formerly used in an old Brahmin ceremony. If you want to show a photo of Bangkok’s landmark to your friends or family, the Giant Swing or Sao Chingcha is one of the best choices! It is located in the heart of Bangkok and in front of the first rank royal temple, Wat Suthat
Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan
2 Maha Chai Road, Bowon Niwet, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok, 10200, Thailand
Located on the grounds of Wat Ratchanatdaram, Loha Prasat is also known as the “metal castle”. It was built in 1846 under the patronage of King Rama III and inspired by two other similar temples in India and Sri Lanka. Loha Prasat is one of the most outstanding pieces of architecture in Bangkok. We do not go inside the Loha Prasat, but only see it from the outside.
Pak Khlong Flower Talat Original
Son Pak Khlong Talat Palace - Wat Kanlayanamit, Bangkok, 10200, Thailand
Original Pak Khlong Talat is Thailand’s largest wholesale flower market and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pak Khlong Talat means 'market at the mouth of the canal' in Thai. The area originally started as a floating market in the early 18th century. Later, in the 19th century, the area became a large fish market. In the 1950s the area eventually developed into the current Flower Market.
Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)
158 Thanon Wang Doem, Bangkok, 10600, Thailand
Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng, is situated on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. It's one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples and one of the major landmarks in the Thai capital.
Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkalaram Ratchaworamahaviharn
2 Sanamchai Road, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Bangkok, 10200, Thailand
Wat Pho is one of the oldest temples in the Thai capital. It is also one of the largest temple complexes in Bangkok and has the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand.
