Discovery with City and Temples Tour in Bangkok

Step back into Bangkok’s past on this half-day tour around three of the city’s remarkable ancient temples. Instead of trying to navigate Bangkok public transport or braving the roads in a rental car, travel around the spectacular statues and temples at Wat Traimit, Wat Pho and Wat Arun by convenient group transport.

Visit: Wat Phra Chetuphon, 2 Sanamchai Road Grand Palace Subdistrict, Pranakorn District, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

One of the oldest, largest and most revered temple complexes in Bangkok, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) is a must-see for all visitors to the Thai capital. The central attraction of the temple complex is its namesake statue, the gold-leaf-covered reclining Buddha, but don't let it distract you from the site's other treasures, including its 95 pagodas, carved narrative panels, and opulent main altar.

Its colorfully decorated spires are the star features—the temple’s central prang stands 260 feet (79 meters) tall and is intricately decorated with tiny pieces of colored glass and Chinese porcelain.
