Full description
This is an experience from Bangkok, built around Wat Phra Kaew, Tha Tian Pier and Wat Pho. Your place is held with the operator before we treat your booking as final.
The Grand Palace was the home of the Siamese kings from 1782, when Rama I moved the capital across the river to Bangkok, until the early twentieth century, and Wat Phra Kaew inside its walls holds the Emerald Buddha, a 66-centimetre jade figure that is the most sacred object in the kingdom and whose robes the king changes three times a year with the seasons. The complex opens at 8:30 and the coaches arrive by 9:30, so the first hour is the calm one. Dress is enforced at the gate: shoulders and knees covered, no ripped jeans, no leggings, and sarongs are available at the entrance for those who forget. Entry for foreign visitors is 500 baht and includes Queen Sirikit's textile museum.
The price covers Private Tour Guide, Tuk Tuk Car and Drinking Water. It does not cover Admission Fee and Wat Pho 300 Baht/Person, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Golden Place (Tha Chang Pier Branch). We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date before treating your booking as final. If the date cannot be confirmed we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We loved our personalized tour with Miss Polly. She gave us very clear instructions on where to meet her and we had a really lovely couple of hours walking around with her visiting the grand Palace and other sites. She gave us historical context and political insight. She was thoughtful and always checking in with us. Always offering to take photos of us. And really made sure that it was personalized to what we were interested in and the speed we wanted to go at. I highly recommend.
Ik heb een fantastische dag gehad met Polly. Ze vertelde mooi en bevlogen over de architectuur en de geschiedenis van de tempels en Thailand. En ook over de huidige doelen van de gebouwen. Ze legde uit welke gebruiken de Thai er hanteren en nodigde me uit deel te nemen, indrukwekkend! Ze hielp me hierbij stap voor stap. Ik heb genoten en vind het absoluut een aanrader als je rustig meegenomen wil worden door een positieve gids, die ook nog tussendoor mooie plaatjes voor en van je wil schieten. Achteraf zijn we samen gaan eten op een grote lokale markt aan de overkant van het water, omdat dat t
It was amazing! Full VIP experience only for our family of 3 with so much help and attention (watter, wet wipes, directions and recommendations). Polly is an excellent guide! Her shared knowledge and interesting stories made our trip memorable and we didn't want for it to end. Many many thanks once more! 🙏
This was a wonderful tour! Irin was on time, had great communication prior to the tour, had wonderful energy, and was so pleasant. My daughter and I truly enjoyed the history that she shared. She also took wonderful photos! I would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed this tour. our guide Irin was very knowledgeable and friendly.
I would say the perfect 2 hr activity to get a great taster of the Royal Palace and What Pho temple. There is so much to see that your head will be spinning. These attractions can become overwhelming but our competent and knowledgeable guide kept it flowing and enjoyable. Highly recommended tour!
Excellent guide. Erin was very informative and knew all the right spots to take us. It was great having a private tour especially as it was super busy on New Years Eve.
My tour guide Polly was the sweetest nicest tour guide. This was a perfect tour for someone who only has 2-3 hours to spare. She will help make sure you are comfortable and prepared to see all the sights. The grand palace and reclining Buddha were absolutely beautiful. It was a very memorable experience!!
We dachten dat de toegangstickets hier al waren bijgerekend je betaald enkel voor de gids + de tuktuk rit van een 300 tal meter. Jammer wetende dat de rit 100bth kostte dus dat je eigenlijk alles betaald voor de gids. Dit is uiteraard onze schuld door het niet na kijken. Onze gids was uiteraard fantastisch vriendelijk.
Loved our half day with Irin! She was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating.
La guida è stata chiara e sintetica. Ci sarebbe piaciuto avere qualche informazione in più dal punto di vista storico
choosing this tour was a great option especially on a very crowded day in both the landmarks we visited. Our guide Kaojao was super helpful!!
