Journey through Bangkok, one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities, on the BTS (Skytrain) to the Chao Praya Central Pier. Travel along the waterway to the majestic Grand Palace, home to many ornate temples and buildings in a variety of architectural styles. Visit the magnificent Wat Phra Kaeo, a treasure trove of Thai arts and home to the Emerald Buddha, Thailand’s most revered Buddha image.
Walk to one of the oldest temples in Bangkok, Wat Pho, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. The 46-metre long and 15-metre high gold-plated Reclining Buddha, with eyes and feet inlaid with mother-of-pearl, brings to mind the Lord Buddha’s entry into Nirvana. Wat Pho was also the first centre of public education in the Kingdom. Cruise along the Chao Praya River on a private long-tailed boat to explore the Thonburi canal and get an up-close look at the way of life along the canals.
