Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit) is a renowned Buddhist temple nestled in Bangkok’s vibrant Chinatown. It’s famous for housing the spectacular Golden Buddha (Phra Phuttha Maha Suwana Patimakorn) — a massive, solid gold statue weighing about 5.5 tons and standing over 3 meters tall. This awe-inspiring landmark is a must-see for visitors seeking to experience Bangkok’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage.

Stop 2

Bangkok’s Chinatown is one of the city’s most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods. Famous for its lively atmosphere, historical charm, and unique blend of old and new, this bustling district offers a fascinating glimpse into both Thai and Chinese heritage. Visitors can explore colorful markets, ornate temples, and street food stalls brimming with local delicacies — making Chinatown an unmissable stop for anyone wanting to experience Bangkok’s authentic sights, sounds, and flavors.

At this bustling shrine, the Thai-Chinese community gathers to pray before Guan Yin, the revered Goddess of Mercy in Mahayana Buddhism. Visitors come to seek blessings for fertility, success, health, and happiness. The statue of Guan Yin housed inside this vibrant shrine is believed to be around 900 years old, making it a meaningful spiritual and cultural landmark in Bangkok’s Chinatown.

Stop 4

Wat Phra Chetuphon — widely known as Wat Pho — is one of Bangkok’s most iconic and historically significant temples. Located near the Grand Palace and Wat Arun on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, Wat Pho is renowned for its awe-inspiring Reclining Buddha statue, its rich heritage as a center of traditional Thai medicine and massage, and its distinction as one of the city’s oldest temples. A visit to Wat Pho offers a deep dive into Bangkok’s cultural and spiritual heart.

Stop 5 Pass by

The Chao Phraya River is Thailand’s major waterway, with its vast alluvial plain forming the heart of the country. Flowing through Bangkok before emptying into the Gulf of Thailand, the Chao Phraya is a vital lifeline for the city — offering scenic boat rides, riverside temples, and a glimpse into local life along its busy banks.
