Day 1

Arrive Bangkok

Upon arrival at Bangkok International Airport, we’ll meet 
our guide and transfer to our hotel. Once checked in at 
your hotel, the rest of the day is yours to relax or begin 
exploring.  We’re here for three nights.

Day 2

Bangkok

Morning transfer to Damnern Saduak Floating 
Market Nineteenth-century Bangkok was laced 
with canals, giving the capital the designation of the 
‘Venice of the East’. Surviving canals as well as 
the Chao Phraya River itself (meaning the River of 
Kings) provide memorable vignettes of a traditional 
waterborne way-of-life that has remained essentially 
unchanged over the centuries. The river and canals 
can conveniently be explored by public transport or 
via a traditional long tailed boat. The tour will finally take 
you to Watt Arun (Temple of Dawn), this famous 
Chao Phraya riverbank landmark, which is best 
known for its porcelain encrusted 79-metre central 

sparkling pagoda. After a wonderful tour, we will bring 
you back across the river to the main starting point. 
Afternoon you will visit one of the oldest districts in 
Bangkok, Banglamphu, which is set on the western 
bank of the Chao Phraya River. Take a short walking 
tour past the shop houses and through a local market 
soaking up the lively atmosphere. This evening have a 
welcome Dinner at the Supattra River House which 
overlooks the river.(B, D)

Day 3

Bangkok • Full-day Highlight tour of Bangkok

Our day will begin with a visit to the Royal Grand 
Palace, the most praised royal monument in Thailand, 
encloses the dazzling Wat Phra Kaew. Wat Phra 
Kaew, also called the Temple of the Emerald 
Buddha, is well known for its Golden Chedi, its 
Pantheon of the Chakri Kings and its Eight Coloured 
Tower. In Thailand, it is considered by many to be a 
living example of a classical Siamese Court, the former 
residence of the kings of Thailand. Wat Pho, Thailand’s 
first “university”, is regarded as the first centre of 
learning, educating the public on subjects from literature 
to astronomy by way its myriad inscriptions, murals and 
statues.  This temple is also the birthplace of traditional 
Thai massage. Here, you will enjoy a 30-minute Thai 
massage as an excellent break after a morning of 
sightseeing. In the afternoon we’ll take a trip along the 
bustling Chao Phya River and the quiet Klong (canals) 
in a long tail boat – a unique way to enjoy scenes of 

Bangkok life. We will bring you to a more traditional 
and serene way of living in the Thonburi residential 
areas, away from the skyscrapers and modernity of 
Bangkok City Centre and explore the Wat Arun, the 
“Temple of Dawn”. Finally, a visit to the Flower and 
Vegetable market will round off this day. Located 
close to the Chao Phraya River, the market is home 
to a vast selection of  flowers, especially orchids and 
we’ll witness the merchants creating exquisite garlands 
of blooms. This Bangkok day tour ends at the Golden 
Mountain. Please note that photography is permitted 
in the Royal Palace Grounds and in the compounds 
of the Emerald Buddha Temple, but not inside the 
buildings. Also, note that the chapel is a national shrine 
and that you will be required to wear proper attire (no 
bare shoulders, knees or strapless-heel shoes). Shoes 
must be removed before entering the temple buildings 
as a matter of respect. (B,L)
