We can appreciate the essence of traditional Thai architecture, paintings, carvings and decorations. The Wat Phar Kaew in the Grand Palace is a must-see. It is considered the holiest place for Thai Buddhism and houses the national treasure of Emerald Buddha.

Next, we will visit Wat Pho. In addition to the huge Reclining Buddha statue it is famous for, this oldest and largest temple in Bangkok is rich in inscriptions on architecture, history, medicine, literature, geography and so on. Therefore, the temple is honored as the First University in Thailand.

In the afternoon, to give you a different view of the city, the guide will take you on a pleasant boat trip along the Chao Phraya River which runs through central Bangkok. We will finally disembark at the Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) and visit its 79 meters (259 feet) tall stupa. The guide will take you up to the top of the Buddhist stupa, which is the ideal place to appreciate all of Bangkok in the sunset.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy the beauty of the Chiew Larn Lake, a very large lake that, viewed from above, looks like a large tree with many branches extending into the lush virgin rainforest. You can admire the bizarre limestone mountains on the lake while fishing in the crystal clear water. Upon arrival, you will find a wonderful floating resort where you will stay for two nights.

The rest of the afternoon is free for you. You can have a relaxing time appreciating the natural scenery around, kayaking, or jumping out of your room window to swim if you like.
