Half-Day Grand Palace and Temples Tour

Bangkok, Thailand

Explore Grand Palace the residence of the Kings of Siam since 1782 on a 4-hour sightseeing tour of Bangkok and then continue to your choice of the city’s historic Buddhist temples. This tour can either be a private tour or with a group.

Your guide will take you to the Grand Palace, the former residence of the Chakri kings and a perfect example of an ancient Siamese court. Built in 1782 by King Rama I, it was the center of power for more than 150 years, and is Bangkok's most popular tourist attraction.

Continue your tour at the city temples of your choice. Explore Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), next to the Grand Palace, to see its 5.5-ton Wat Traimit (Golden Buddha) and more than 100 brightly colored buildings, golden spires and glittering mosaics.

Alternatively, go to Wat Pho to see the Reclining Buddha. Sometimes called “Thailand’s first university,” the temple features beautiful mural paintings, inscriptions, and statues on subjects such as literature, warfare, archaeology, astronomy, geology, and meditation.

We did this tour with private guide and it made a difference._br/_ We learnt so much. It was a hot day so take a umbrella, there is very little shade.
