Program proposal:
We go straight to the Grand Palace which you will then visit and of course also the temple Wat Phra Kaew. The Emerald Buddha is always a magical attraction for believers from all over the world. The Grand Palace is used by the royal family for official ceremonies. After the visit, we go on foot, or if you prefer by traditional TukTuk, towards Wat Po where the 46-metre gold-plated Buddha is located. Before we go in, we visit the old Ta Tien market, which is very interesting. Here, all kinds of dried fish are sold, which you will notice from the smell as we walk towards the market hall.
Its original name is Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Ratchaworamahawihan, but it is easier to pronounce as an abbreviation, even for the locals. The temple was probably founded in the 17th century and is the attraction in Bangkok. Mother-of-pearl inlays on the soles of the reclining Buddha's feet are elaborate. The temple has a massage school that teaches traditional Thai massage. The great four stupas of the Phra Maha Chedi Si Ratchakan group, also called Chedis, are our destination. The Ubosot was commissioned and built by King Rama I. It contains Phra Phut Phut, a temple of the Buddha. Inside it is Phra Phuttha Thewa Patimakon a seated Buddha statue. The mortal remains of King Rama I were buried in the base. Beautiful murals can be found in the Medicine Pavilion.
Then we cross the river by ferry. Before we climb Wat Arun, we visit the monk at Viharn Noi who, in the old tradition, wishes us long life, health and happiness. If you want the sacred thread, called Sai Sin, you will receive it from the monk you should then give a monetary donation to the temple, this is common practice. After the beautiful view from Wat Arun we start our longtail boat trip into the Klongs Thonburi, here you can still see the old wooden houses along the Klong. Occasionally market women come with their small boats to sell their goods. Experience the blaze of colour along the Klong. Perhaps you will see a monitor lizard or two lying in the sun. Afterwards, the tour ends at Ta Tien Pier and the tour guide will take you to Airportlink or get you a taxi to get you back to the airport on time.

The tour itinerary and the individual sightseeing objects may not be visited due to weather or traffic conditions, large area closures, lighting shutdowns at the buildings, airline departure times or closures of the sights. The decision then rests with the person who has contractually booked the tour.
