Day 1

BANGKOK – UNUSUAL TOUR AMONG PALACES, TEMPLES AND KUDI CHEEN (L.)
Meeting with the local guide.
The day begins with a visit to the famous Wat Pho, known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. It is the oldest Buddhist monastery in Bangkok, renowned not only for its enormous reclining Buddha statue but also for hosting the country's oldest traditional Thai massage school.

Next, we will board a public ferry to cross the Chao Phraya River and reach the enchanting Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, one of the city's most iconic landmarks.

From here, a short walk will take us into the characteristic Kudicheen (Kudi Chin) district. We will continue on foot to explore this fascinating multicultural corner of Bangkok, where time seems to have stood still. We will visit the small local village and meet the community that has lived here for generations.

Highlights include:

The historic Thanusingha Bakery House, still producing famous Portuguese pastries, where a snack with coffee or tea and a brioche will be offered;

The Baan Kudi Chin Museum, telling the story of the community;

The picturesque Kuan An Keng Shrine, a small Taoist temple immersed in an exotic and spiritual atmosphere.

After exploring the neighborhood, transfer by car to a local restaurant to enjoy a delicious traditional Thai lunch.

In the afternoon, we will visit the final highlight of the day: the majestic Royal Grand Palace, one of Thailand’s most fascinating architectural complexes. Inside is the famous Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, considered the most sacred site in the country.

The complex also includes the Chakri Palace (visitable only from the outside), the Dusit Palace, and the Montien Palace, accessible internally only during certain times of the year.

Return to the hotel is expected around 4:00 - 4:30 PM.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Appropriate attire is required for temple visits: shoulders and legs must be covered.

Please carry your passport, even a copy, as it may be requested at entrance checks.

The Royal Palace may be subject to full or partial closure without prior notice.
