DAY 2-November 14, 2025
BANGKOK CITY AND TEMPLE TOUR
-
You begin your sightseeing excursion after breakfast at the hotel. Your journey will begin at two of Bangkok’s most famous tourist attractions: the Royal Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha. The Grand Palace shares a complex with Wat Pho Kaew and is where you will end up after leaving Wat Phra Kaew. Despite their close proximity, there is a clear difference in style between the distinctly Thai Wat Pho Kaew and the more European-inspired buildings, with the exception of the Grand Palace roof.
Following that, you will visit Wat Po, Bangkok’s largest and oldest temple, as well as the temple that houses the world’s largest single Buddha image: the Reclining Buddha (Phra Buddhasaiyas). This temple is also regarded as the origin of Thai traditional massage. Then we’ll have lunch at a local restaurant before continuing on to Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of the Dawn and one of Bangkok’s most well-known monuments and most widely published photos.
After this, we will take the local public express boat to Ratchawong pier, then take a vehicle transfer to Yaowarat Road where you will visit an interesting shop selling bird’s nests and shark fins, continue to a very old tea shop to enjoy a cup of Chinese tea with the locals before heading down Trok Leng Moi EIA (a small alley) to Talad Kao for an interesting local market with a variety of fresh foods, fresh & dry fruits, Chinese herbs, and groceries.
Finally, walk to Wat Leng Neng Yee to explore the Taoist temple. After that, we’ll return to the hotel and spend the remainder of the day at our leisure.

The islands are usually reached by speedboats or long-tail boats from Krabi town or docks in Phuket Province. During the late 1940s, Muslim fishermen settled on Phi Phi Don, which later became a coconut plantation. The name Phi Phi (pronounced ’phi-phi’) is Malay in origin. Pulau Api-Api (’the fiery isle’) was the ancient name for the islands. The name is derived from the Pokok Api-Api, or ’fiery tree’ (grey mangrove) that grows on the islands.
