Full description

This is a 2-hour experience in Bangkok, built around Grand Palace Bangkok, Wat Pho and Chao Phraya River. It is run by Sun Leisure World Corporation, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples sit side by side across Japan and the etiquette differs slightly: at a shrine, bow at the torii, rinse hands and mouth at the water basin, then bow twice, clap twice, bow once at the hall; at a temple, no clapping, hands together, and incense if it is offered. Photography is fine outside and usually not inside halls. Zen meditation sessions, zazen, are taught at several Kyoto and Tokyo temples in 30 to 60 minute sittings with the posture explained; a shukubo temple stay adds the morning service and vegetarian shojin ryori. Shoes come off at every hall.

The price covers Entrance ticket to the Royal Grand Palace and Emerald, Entrance ticket to Wat Pho & Wat Arun, Express boat along the Chao Phraya River, guide or local expert and Drinking water during the tour. It does not cover Food and beverages not mentioned, Personal expenses, Tip/gratuity for guide or boat crew and Entry tickets to any temples not mentioned in the inclusion, 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.

BTS Saphan Taksin. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sun Leisure World Corporation before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I due templi che abbiamo visitato in questa attività erano favolosi e la nostra guida ci ha dato il tempo necessario per ammirarli con calma. Nel complesso bell’esperienza. Do 4 stelle perché avrei preferito una barca aperta invece che il ferry al chiuso e perché non abbiamo capito tutto quanto dalle spiegazioni un po’ confuse in lingua inglese della nostra guida.

The price does not cover food and beverages not mentioned, personal expenses, tip/gratuity for guide or boat crew and entry tickets to any temples not mentioned in the inclusion. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Shoulders and knees covered, for men and women, and no ripped jeans, vest tops or leggings; the Grand Palace turns people away at the gate and hires out sarongs. Shoes come off in every building with a Buddha image, so slip-ons save time. Sit with your feet pointing away from the Buddha and do not climb on any statue for a photo.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
