Itinerary
The glittering Grand Palace in Bangkok is an architectural wonder that was once home to the kings of the Chakri Dynasty.
Wat Pho is one of the oldest temples in the Thai capital. It is also one of the largest temple complexes in Bangkok and has the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. Wat Pho maintains the title as the country’s earliest center for public education, specializing in religion, science and literature. Most of the Buddha images on display were brought to Wat Pho, by order of King Rama I, from abandoned temples in Ayutthaya and Sukhothai.
A stay in the Thai capital is not complete without visiting Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, one of Bangkok's most famous landmarks.

Chill is a great guided and knowledgeable. Highly recommend especially if it’s your first time .
A wonderful experience thanks to our guide, Chill! It was clear that he was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the site. We learned so much from him, and despite the crowds, his presence and explanations allowed us to fully enjoy our visit to the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. A huge thank you to him! However, the transfer arrangements really need to be improved. Upon arrival, the driver simply dropped us off near the palace and vaguely told us to “go over there,” without explaining that we had to meet our guide at a specific meeting point. We spent around ten minutes trying to understand what was happening, and it was ultimately other guides, who were not affiliated with GetYourGuide, who showed us where to go. Communication was just as poor for the return transfer. We had to wait quite a while for the driver, who was not the same person who had driven us there. Thankfully, Chill stayed with us and waited until the driver arrived. Overall, the guided tour itself was excellent thanks to Chill, who was passionate, knowledgeable and engaging, but the transfer service was confusing and disappointing and definitely needs improvement.
It was very interesting to learn about and see Thailand’s culture and philosophy. Our guide (Chill) was helpful and funny
