  1. 15 minutesAdmission included

    Hop on a public boat and glide along Saen Saep, passing through local Muslim communities around the Jim Hop on a public boat and glide along Saen Saep, passing through local Muslim communities around the Jim Thompson house that have lived along the canal for generations. Then, step off near the edge of the Old Town and walk into a different Bangkok. Along the way, we’ll pass near sections tied to the original town walls and a small white fort, and if you’re lucky you might even spot a monitor lizard cruising the water at a canal crossroads.

  2. The Golden Mount (Wat Saket)

    344 Chakkraphat Diphong Road, Bangkok, 10100, Thailand

    30 minutesAdmission included

    Then it’s time for one of the best views in the city: Wat Saket, the Golden Mount. Climb the winding steps, ring the bells, and watch the skyline open up in every direction! Your guide keeps it light but meaningful: a simple introduction to Buddhist symbols you’ll see throughout the day, and why this hilltop temple is known as the “Golden Mountain.”

  3. The Grand Palace

    Na Phra Lan Rd, Next To Wat Phra Kaeo Temple Complex, Bangkok, 10200, Thailand

    1 hour 30 minAdmission included

    From here, jump into a classic tuk-tuk ride and head straight to Bangkok’s royal heart: arriving at the Grand Palace, your licensed guide leads you through the most important sections of Thailand’s former royal residence, including visiting the revered Emerald Buddha, Thailand’s most sacred image. By the end of the visit, you will understand why such a small image holds such deep importance in Thai culture.

  4. 1 hour 30 minAdmission included

    After exploring the palace, continue on foot to nearby Wat Pho, one of Bangkok’s oldest and most significant temple complexes. Visit the hall of the Reclining Buddha, then continue through courtyards lined with chedis and murals as your guide leads you beyond the main statue to explore the wider temple grounds and understand why Wat Pho holds such an important place in Thai Buddhist tradition. The tour ends at Wat Pho, one of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks. From here, you can continue exploring the area independently, perhaps enjoying a leisurely lunch at a riverside café with stunning views of Wat Arun. Alternatively, you may follow our tour guide, who will ensure a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
