In this day, You will visit two of Bangkok’s most significant landmarks, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is home to a 46- meter-long gold-leafed lying Buddha. The glittering Grand Palace, a perfect example of an ancient Siamese court, can be found on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and is a must-see for any visitor to Bangkok. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha can be found inside the grounds (Wat Phra Kaew). After lunch in a Thai restaurant, we’ll sail on a boat for a cruise along the Chao Phraya River - the River of Kings. Along the way we can capture life along the banks of the canals, rickety wooden houses on stilts and serene waterside temples – giving us an insight into a slower, older way of life and the reason why the city was nicknamed the ‘Venice of the East’. Then you will have stop at Wat Arun, one of the most photographed sights in Bangkok, will give us a chance to stretch our legs and admire the glittering pagoda. It rises 76 meters into the sky and is covered with glazed ceramic pieces that reflect the rising sun, hence the reason for its name: Temple of Dawn.
