Detailed itinerary

We start with driving you around the city’s skyscrapers proving that in no time it has made its mark at the global arena eventually reaching the magnificent Mini Reclining Buddha (Wat Khun Inthapramun).
Admire the lesser-known yet equally enchanting temple to see the Mini Reclining Buddha. This peaceful temple offers a quieter, more intimate experience compared to the bustling Wat Traimit. Take in the tranquil atmosphere and admire the detailed craftsmanship of the reclining Buddha statue.

We proceed to the Glorious Golden Buddha temple ( Wat Traimit) situated just next to the authentic China Town immersed in the ancient Chinese culture of which you can have a panoramic view. Upon reaching the temple admire the very rare 5.5-ton solid gold statue of Lord Buddha. A priceless idol depicting the soul of Thai culture. The history behind this statue will surprise you as it was an unknown fact for two centuries that it's made up of gold until the plaster cracked while it was being shifted from Ayutthaya -the ancient capital of Thailand.

Now it is time for some shopping expedition at the World Gems gallery. You can buy some souvenirs for the loved ones back home.
