Thailand is predominantly Buddhist, with around 95% of Thais practising the Theravada discipline of Buddhism. So it's not unusual to see monks walking the streets of Bangkok. This small group half-day tour takes you to Bangkok's three most sacred and significant temples – Wat Pho, Wat Traimit and Wat Benchamabophit. First up is Wat Traimit, known as the temple of the Golden Buddha, which protects a 3m tall Buddha statue crafted from more than 5 tons of solid gold. Then, it's onward to the second temple of the day – Wat Pho. It is known as the temple of the Reclining Buddha because of its large statues, which at an 46 metres in length and 15 metres in height, is the largest in the city. The day's final temple is Wat Benchamabophit – the ‘Temple of the Fifth King' – which is famed for its intricate Italian marble detail. To round off the tour, there's a visit to a lapidary factory, where you can browse handicrafts, jewellery and silk.

Excellent little tour. Our guide, Suchat, was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble. Going earlier in the morning was a good way to avoid heavier traffic for part of the tour. The three temples were very beautiful and not too far apart.
Excellent little tour. Our guide, Suchat, was very knowledgable and extremely helpful. He went out of his way to explain and clarify everything. All three temples were worth a visit, especially to my family who are first timers in Thailand. Going early morning cut out a lot of the bad traffic and all three temples weren't too far apart.
Amin you’re a legend! Such a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We did 3 temples and barely broke a sweat! His depth of knowledge and evident passion for Thai history was truly impressive. Lucy and I came away bussing!
