Grand Palace, Temples and Water Gate Buddha Boat Tour in Bangkok

This is a 7-hour experience in Bangkok, built around Grand Palace Bangkok, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. 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.
