Private Bangkok City Sightseeing Tour With Grand Palace

Following hotel pickup from Bangkok city area hotel lobby, your first stop will be the Temple of the Golden Buddha. Wat Traimit Witthayaram, or the Temple of the Golden Buddha, stands at the junction of Traimit, Yaowarat and Charoen Krung Roads. Just across from the main entrance of Wat Traimit is the Odeon circle and the archway to Chinatown Bangkok.
The Golden Buddha is 3.98 m high and 3.13 m wide from knee to knee. It’s cast in solid gold weighing 5 tons! The statue has a unique history. When Bangkok when established as the new capital, the Chakri Kings encouraged the recovery of Buddha statues abandoned in Ayutthaya and the northern cities. These statues were transported to Bangkok by the Chao Phraya River.
During the reign of King Rama III (1825 – 1851), a massive statue of Buddha made of brown clay was installed in Wat Phraya Krai in Charoen Krung Road, Yannawa district, near the Taksin Bridge.

Next, you scramble toward The Grand Palace. Visit the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew). The haven is practically from time to time gone to by neighbourhood people and remote voyagers. It is famous for its impressive architecture and buildings. In the same compound, the Wat Phra Kaew houses the most revered Emerald Buddha (Phra Kaew Morakot), carved from a single block of jade.

The Wat Phra Kaew, also known as “the temple of the Emerald Buddha” located within the grounds of the Grand Palace in Bangkok is Thailand’s most sacred temple and an important pilgrimage site for Thai Buddhists.
Esteem the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew). The haven is incredibly conspicuous among visitors. There is no specific day close to Grand Palace. Regardless, if any Governmental assembling or meeting is there, going to Grand Palace will be closed for that day. Everything is thought of you as you will visit Dusit Zoo, the most settled zoo in Thailand as opposed to Grand Palace.

One of Bangkok’s most famous landmarks and known from many postcards, the Wat Arun is best known for its massive prang, a tower on the Chao Phra river bank built in Khmer architectural style. The prang with its height of more than 80 meters is the highest in Thailand.
The Wat Arun, commonly known as “the Temple of Dawn”, is one of only six temples of the highest grade of the first class Royal Temples, and therefore one of Thailand’s most revered temples.

Bangkok’s Chinatown is a popular tourist attraction and a food haven for new generation gourmands who flock here after sunset to explore the vibrant street-side cuisine. In the daytime, it’s no less busy, as hordes of shoppers descend upon this 1-km strip and adjacent Charoenkrung Road to get a day’s worth of staples, trade gold, or pay a visit to one of the Chinese temples.

Bangkok Flower Market (Pak Klong Talad) is the biggest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok. The market has all kinds of popular flowers and flora-related items, including roses, forget me nots, orchids, lilies and more. Most of them sold in packs of 50 or 100 flowers in each, and prices are amazingly cheap. Part of the Old City, Bangkok Flower market is located on Chak Phet Road near Saphan Phut or the Memorial Bridge. Shops and vendors are housed inside two to three-storey shop-houses on both sides of the main road. The market lies just south of Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and has access to a river pier, so it makes for a great one-day trip when combined with other historical attractions in the Old City.

The Wat Pho or “Temple of the Reclining Buddha” is one of Bangkok’s most attractive temples. It is a much visited temple complex due to its location immediately South of the Grand Palace and the huge Reclining Buddha image it houses.
The temple that is officially named Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkhalaram is one of the six temples in Thailand that are of the highest grade of the first class Royal temples.
