Explore the royal city of Bangkok on on foot with a professional guide who points out the features of several landmarks. See the Golden Mount at Wat Saket, the Tiger God shrine (Chao Phor Seua), Wat Suthat's Giant Swing, and Wat Ratchanatdaram. Morning tea plus round-trip hotel transport included.
Start your 3.5-hour morning tour with pickup from your hotel in Bangkok and set off with your guide on a walking tour of royal and religious monuments. Your first stop is Wat Ratchanatdaram, a Buddhist temple popular for its multi-tiered brazen palace, or Loha Prasat, one of just several bronze-roofed palaces in existence.
A short walk brings you to the Golden Mount, which is located in the compound of Wat Saket. Built by King Rama IV, this golden chedi is reached by a 344-step spiral stairway. While on top, you'll have a wide view of the older part of Bangkok.
Next up is Baan Bat, the last of a series of villages established in the 18th century by King Rama I to create alms bowls for monks. After a look around, your guide accompanies you to the Giant Swing (Sao Ching Cha) that stands outside of Wat Suthat, among Thailand's most significant royal temples.
Take a break for morning tea, coffee, or a soft drink, then visit the Tiger God Shrine (Chao Phor Seua), which is dedicated to the spirit of a tiger that once inhabited the surrounding jungle. Learn about the festivals, operas, and puppet shows held here year-round. After a stroll to Ratchadamnoen Klang Road you're transferred back to your hotel.
