The visits end with Wat Trimitr, this Buddhist temple near Bangkok Chinatown is famous for one thing: the golden Buddha. The story goes that in 1931 there was a restoration that took place at Wat Phraya Krai in the Yannawa district. The main Buddha statue, which was made of concrete, was then transferred to Wat Trai Mitr, which was also undergoing a major renovation and expansion. Twenty years later, in 1955, when the structures were completed, the Buddha statue was moved to be set in one of the buildings. But the Buddha statue was too heavy and fell off the lifting crane and its cracked surface revealed the pure gold hidden inside.

Breakfast at the hotel.

Meeting with the guide and departure to discover the Ancient Capital of Thailand.

The first visit is Bang Pa In, which can be reached with a short journey of about 60 kilometers north of Bangkok, is located along the banks of the Chaopraya River. Bang Pa In is one of the summer palaces of the Royal Family Thailand, dating back to the seventeenth century, before the settlement of Bangkok as the capital, which then fell into disuse for a long period. All the buildings you will visit date back to its rebirth, made possible by King Mongkut (Rama IV) in the nineteenth century. Today, the palace is rarely used, more for state ceremonies than as a royal summer residence.

We proceed with the Ayutthaya Historical Park, the city was founded in the year 1350 Ca. and became the second Siamese capital after Sukhothai.

It flourished from the 14th to the 18th centuries, during which it became one of the largest and most cosmopolitan urban areas in the world and a center of diplomacy and global trade. Ayutthaya was strategically located on an island surrounded by three rivers that connected the city to the sea. This site was chosen because it was above the Gulf of Siam tide as it existed in that period, thus preventing the attack of the city by maritime warships from other nations. The location also helped protect the city from seasonal floods. The city, lying on the island framed by three significant rivers: Chao Phraya, Lopburi and Pasak was attacked and razed to the ground by the Burmese army in 1767 which set it on fire and forced the inhabitants to abandon it. It was never rebuilt in the same position and today it is a vast archaeological site, included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1991 as it represents the era of one of the greatest kingdoms in the history of Indochina.

After the temples, a beautiful cruise awaits us, with lunch served on board.

With the vehicle, we return to Bangkok to the pier of Wat Chong-Lom (Nonthaburi) where you will be welcome on board the Grand Pearl Cruise Line. Here you will be served a sumptuous buffet lunch with a choice of varieties of oriental and western cuisine, while you relax while enjoying the fascinating scenery on the river of the kings. The ship will then head towards Nonthaburi, passing the island of Koh Kred, where a large Mon community lives, before reaching the city of Bangkok.

Coffee will be served on board while you enjoy the enchanting views along the banks of the river such as the colorful Royal Barge House, the Thammasart University, the Sirirat hospital, the Royal Grand Palace and the graceful Temple of Dawn, with its magnificent spire of 79 m., next to Wat Kallayanamitr, one of the most famous temples in the city.
