Itinerary
Finally we will arrive at Wat Pho, one of the most beautiful temples in Bangkok, where you will see the largest reclining Buddha of Thailand.
If you wish, after the visit to Wat Pho you can freely reach the Wat Arun which is a short distance, on the other side of the Choa Phraya River.
The Chao Phraya River is very close to the Wat Pho so you can freely decide to see it or continue your visits by boat.
Wat Traimit in Bangkok is known for housing a 5.5-tonne statue of a seated Buddha. The gold sculpture dates back to the 13th century and measures at nearly 5 metres in height. Located in Chinatown Bangkok, this ornate temple is about 450 metres Highlights at Wat Traimit The solid gold Sukhothai-style Buddha image was originally covered in plaster, but its original façade was revealed after movers accidentally dropped it. Pieces of the plaster are still kept on display at the temple. Wat Traimit has a museum on the 3rd floor, where you get to learn about the history of the Golden Buddha. A video presentation provides a brief background on Buddha images, followed by the full story of the sculpture within the temple. Exhibits also cover the historical background of how it came to be at Wat Traimit. The 2nd floor exhibits 3D presentations detailing the history of the Chinese traders in Bangkok

Excellent Guide Emme, very kind, helpful, generous, punctual, explained well the places visited and made us enjoy with his stories a little 'life of the place. Always wonderful Bangkok
Even after repeated inquiries, we haven't received the pick-up time and the pick-up location. we were therefore unable to take part in the tour. nevertheless the refund was refused.
do this one day before doing Royal Palace - least that was what I did and it helped having this one first - the temples move fast and that is great - there is only so much time to spend there - guide gives you the information you need
This is one of the most magnificent and majestic images of the Buddha in south east asia. The temple's architecture is simply astonishing and presents a stellar enshrined place for the Buddha. I highly recommend enthusiastic tourists to visit this awesome temple.
We enjoyed the tour and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Thai culture. We will recommend this tours to our friends.
Unfortunately, multiple pick-up time requests were only answered the night before. All previous messages by mail, via Tripadvisor or Whatsapp were ignored. The pick-up time on the day itself was then postponed 3 more times - so you could have slept in... The tour itself was fine.
<p>The guy that was very experienced and knowledgeable. He knew the best spots from which to take photographs. He knew the best routes to take to maximise and appreciation of the unique culture that existed in ancient Khymer culture . I fully recommend it to anyone who is interested in soaking up Culture of those times.</p>
<p>I will start with the meeting point in Bangkok, Hotel Aetas Lumpini, 1030 Thanon Rama IV... There was nothing around it but a lot of locals and traffic....Wish there had been a different place, maybe closer to china town so you could walk around when there is some spare time to kill. Tourstops way too short but worth to see all 3 temples, just amazing! I was not interested in that market/ jewelery store.....again like a sales session. Would have gone rather to china touwn or other markets to pick up some souvenirs. Tourguide was excellent and I thank her for being so wonderful and explaining everything on this tour! Thanks for taking such good care of us!!!</p>
<p>The temples were very interesting to see. I was the only one on the tour which was a bonus I guess, but it finished a bit earlier than i expected</p>
<p>This tour was the perfect way to see all the temples in Bangkok. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable!</p>
