Itinerary
08:00 am / 13:00 pm Meet your guide at your hotel lobby and transfer to the Emerald Buddha Temple by private air-conditioned vehicle. Visit the number one must-see landmark of Bangkok; including Thailand’s most revered Buddha image, residing in Wat Phra Kaew, also known as “the Temple of the Emerald Buddha” located within the grounds of the Grand Palace in Bangkok is Thailand’s most sacred temple and an important pilgrimage site for Thai Buddhists.
The Grand Palace complex was established in 1782 and it consists of not only royal and throne halls, but also a number of government offices as well as the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It covers an area of 218,000 square metres and is surrounded by four walls, 1900 metres in length. After King Rama I ascended to the throne in 1782, the palace was built. Prior to this, the royal palace and centre of administration had been located in Thonburi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. For various reasons, the new King considered the former capital to be unsuitable and decided to establish a new capital on the other side of the river. Then transfer back to your hotel.
