Private Shore Excursion: Full-Day Temples and Flower Market Tour from Laem Chabang

Bangkok, Thailand

Explore the highlights of Bangkok while delving into the layers of local culture on this full-day tour. From a colorful flower market to the feet of the gigantic Reclining Buddha, take in the history and the wonder of Bangkok and finish things off with a relaxing traditional foot massage.

You will be met by your guide at 8am at Laem Chabang Port. From here, you will travel approximately 2-hours to Bangkok

The journey begins within a kaleidoscope of color at a local flower market, and with a hands-on lesson about how Buddhist locals use the lotus flower to worship Buddha. From the flower market, your guide points out the nearby Memorial Bridge and Temple, a commanding structure that shows King Rama I seated on a pedestal overlooking his prior kingdom.

Set off from the flower market and arrive at the Grand Palace, a must-see icon of the city. Home to the Emerald Buddha, the Grand Palace is a striking example of traditional Thai architecture and considered one of the holiest locations in the entire country. Explore the temples and buildings within the complex alongside your guide, and learn about the history and story of this Bangkok gem.
 
After lunch at a charming boutique restaurant by the river with magnificent view of Wat Arun, walk to nearby Wat Pho, home of the reclining Buddha. Visit the Giant Swing, the gateway to the Baan Bat community. The creation of alms bowls - an important handicraft for Thailand’s Buddhist residents - has sustained much of the community here. Wander through the area and have a front-row seat to witness how they are made. Chat with the locals here with the help of your guide before kicking back for a one-hour foot massage in a traditional Thai house - a well-earned treat after an eventful day.

Return to Laem Chabang Port at the end of this tour.
