Located at the heart of Bangkok, the Grand Palace was the former residence for King Rama I to King Rama V of the Rattanakosin Kingdom. Today, the place is used for hosting royal ceremonies and welcoming the king's guests, state guests, and other foreign dignitaries.
You will visit the key attractions around the Grand Palace like the Coronation Throne Hall, Royal Reception Hall, Royal Funeral Hall, the Golden Chedi, and the Royal Pantheon.
Wat Phra Kaew (known as the ‘Temple of the Emerald Buddha’ or locally as ‘Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram’) is located within the grounds of the Grand Palace and one of the most important Buddhist temples in Thailand. The temple enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), the highly revered Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of jade.
PLEASE NOTE:
Entrance fee of THB 500 per person is not included and has to be paid cash on day of the tour.
Total time includes traveling time from the meeting point.

Baan Silapin
We will make a stop at Baan Silapin (The Artist’s House), located on the banks of Klong Bang Luang (Bang Luang Canal) on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, a hidden gem devoted to preserving Thai culture. Here you'll experience what life in Bangkok was like before the concrete jungle took hold.
The wooden house, over 200 years old and lovingly restored by its owner, sits at the heart of a small community of rustic shophouses which are connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the klong (canal).
PLEASE NOTE:
The total time includes traveling time from the Grand Palace to the pier and the time on the water.
Actual time at Baan Silapin is approx. 30 minutes.

Wat Pak Nam
We pass Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen (but not get off the boat), built in the mid-Ayutthaya period in the Phasi Charoen District in Thonburi. The boat driver will stop the boat so that you can take a good photo of the huge Buddha statue at this temple. The Buddha statue is towering nearly 70 meters above the ground, the height of a 20-story building, and it is Bangkok's tallest Buddha, with a width of 40 meters in its cross-legged meditation posture.
