What a better way to start your trip, than visiting Bangkok’s Grand Palace, still used to this day for royal engagements and functions. Constructed in the 18th century, the palace was the home of the Chakri dynasty for hundreds of years. Consisting of over 100 brightly colored buildings, golden spires and glittering mosaics, the palace is a truly spectacular visual spectacle. Make your way through the extravagant gardens and courtyards before marveling at the breathtaking luxury of the interior.



A few paces away from the Grand palace you will find the Temple of Wat Phra Kaew, the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand and home to the statue of the Emerald Buddha. Carved from one single jade stone, learn about the statue’s rich history, having travelled through Cambodia and India before finding a home in Bangkok. Then head to Wat Trimit temple to admire its huge golden Buddha statue. Weighing over five and a half tons, it is the largest solid gold statue found anywhere in the world.



Take a short journey to Wat Pho temple, birthplace of the Thai massage and known as Thailand’s first university. However, the main tourist draw of this stunning temple is the 43-meter-long golden statue of the reclining Buddha. Depicting the spiritual leader on the point of enlightenment, this vast statue is one of the most important pious objects in the Buddhist faith and attracts millions of visitors each year.



Tantalize your taste buds at a local restaurant for a delicious International Buffet Lunch before rounding off your tour at a local lapidary factory and showroom where you will can see some beautiful locally made jewellery, handicrafts and silk, and grab yourself a bargain with their competitive prices.
