After all guests have arrived, we will drive to Bangkok to our first destination the Grand Palace with the temple Wat Phra Keaw. Please note the smoking ban, the police impose heavy fines.It is especially important to wear the prescribed type of clothing to enter the palace at all. The Emerald Buddha in the royal temple Wat Phra Kaew is unique, and many Buddhists from all over the world flock to this place to pay homage to Buddha. As soon as you enter, you will be amazed by the colorful and oversized guards, the yaks and the gilded prangs. Three times a year, the king or his representative changes the garments of the Emerald Buddha, depending on the season. After that we will drive a bit by TukTuk and visit the temple Wat Po as the next highlight.

Before Bangkok the former fishing village became the capital of the kingdom, the opposite side of the river Thonburi was the capital. Rama I had the Grand Palace and the royal temple Wat Phra Kaeo built in 1782. Since the end of the 18th century, the kings of the Chakri dynasty have ruled here until today. Wat Phra Kaeo, with its multitude of impressive, glittering buildings, houses the Emerald Buddha in the ordination hall. Together with your guide you will see the temple complex with its finely crafted murals and thus get told some interesting stories.

Continue by tuk tuk to Wat Pho with its 46-meter-long and about 15-meter-high reclining golden Buddha. On the soles are inlaid workers of mother of pearl, which represent the marks of the true Buddha. There are 4 large stupas in the temple, some of which contain Buddha relics or serve as final resting places. In the area of the temple there is also a massage school where the Thais are trained. The Hindu fertility statue Linga which is visited by many women who want to have a baby are also in this area.

After that, our journey continues on foot the short distance to "Pak Khlong Talad", the flower market. Also on the way there you will see many traditional street vendors. For more than a hundred years, flowers, fruits and vegetables of different varieties are advertised here, let yourself be enchanted by this variety of plants. Our tour guide will also let you in on the secrets of Thai cuisine and its spices. Of course, nothing stands in the way of tasting one or the other fruit. After Pak Khlong Talad we will go on our beautiful tour with a longtailboat in the canals of Thonburi.

Experience a beautiful longtail boat tour in the canals of Thonburi, we do not drive the so "popular short tourist routes" but our own route of approx. 18 km length with approx. 90 minutes travel time, experience with us a time travel into a "different world".  Beautiful temples, typical old Thai huts, life at the Klong, fauna and flora. Storks, herons and monitor lizards cavort along the Klong and go hunting there. When we spot a monitor lizard, we stop if possible so that you can see it up close. From time to time you may see small boats offering goods in the klong. As the Klong used to be the waterway of the locals, many temples were built directly at the Klong so that they could reach them with the boats, many goods were transported via these waterways and the supply of the citizens was ensured.

One of the most beautiful and important temples in Thonburi is Wat Arun also called Temple of Dawn. The royal temple also called Temple of Dawn next to the old Grand Palace Wang Derm was used by King Taksin. The temple was initially only 16 meters high and was then raised to 67 meters. The central part of Wat Arun is the Phra Prang, four steep stairs on the sides connect a total of four levels, although only one staircase can be used for the ascent. The central Prang can be circled at the top and one has a beautiful view of Thonburi and Bangkok with the Chao Praya River. At the bottom are the four smaller prangs. Beautifully decorated with porcelain shards, it is one of the most visited temples in Thonburi. Unfortunately, due to the advanced time we can visit this only from the outside.
