It does not cover Earphones, Food and beverages, Ticket Grand Palace and Ticket Wat Arun, so budget for those separately.

We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with MONKEY TRAVEL ASIA by Ask Discovery before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

JC was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history and sights especially of the Grand Palace, all of the above mentioned in the tour. Plenty of walking and the heat and humidity in Thailand is not to take lightly. Bring water for hydration and umbrella if you must. Overall, beautiful sightseeing and magical views are all worth the trip.

Excellent tour to discover some of the most famous and important attractions of Bangkok. We had enough time to explore the Grand Palace, then we took a ferry to Wat Arun and a ferry back to Wat Pho and all the 3 places were well worth a visit. Our guide Jenny was very friendly and knowledgeable and shared with us many interesting insights about Thai history and culture. Definitely recommended!

The sites are beautiful and Nok, our guide took good care of us. We had to make some adjustments to the tour due to closure of the waterway (not within the company's control). Nok was clear with the changes, and we still fit all the sites in with enough time to see everything. They even included a tuk tuk ride to bring us back to the Palace for the last stop so we didn't have to walk there. Bring a fan, water, and wear appropriate temple clothing.

The price does not cover earphones, food and beverages, ticket grand palace (500 thb) and ticket wat arun (200thb). 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.
