Itinerary
1
Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)
This 15-foot tall statue weighs around 5 tons and is all but guaranteed to take your breath away. The gold isn't just a trim--the statue is actually made from 83% solid gold! That makes it worth millions of dollars, but the story behind it might be worth even more.
Note: The tour is over 2 miles long, with more than 16 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.
New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
2
The Chinatown Gate
This impressive red and gold gate mimics those found in mainland China. It marks the entrance to one of the largest Chinatown districts in the entire world. Through this gate, the second part of your tour begins.
20 minutes
3
Yaowarat Road
Yaowarat Road has been a trade hub for hundreds of years, but it's perhaps best known as an essential street food destination. The street is positively overflowing with shops and food stalls featuring anything you can think of, and plenty of things you would never have guessed!
10 minutes
4
Wat Mangkon Kamalawat
This picture-perfect temple is a stunning example of Chinese Buddhist architecture. It makes for a fascinating departure from the Thai style of Wat Traimit and demonstrates the important influence Chinese immigrants have had on this part of Thailand.
10 minutes
5
Sampeng Market
At last, you'll arrive at the bustling Sampeng Lane. This buzzing hub can be quite chaotic, but don't let all the hubbub steer you away from some of the best food in the city! Your tour will suggest a number of must-visit food stalls and give you a few tips on haggling to boot. Your tour concludes here, but your adventure can just keep going.
