Bangkok Stopover

Today we arrive Bangkok, meet our guide and transfer to the hotel we’ll call home for the next three nights.

After breakfast, we’ll experience three of the most stunning temples Bangkok has to offer. Your guide will bring to life Wat Traimit, at whose centre rests a gold statue of Buddha weighing some 4,500 kilograms…. Wat Chetuporn (commonly known as Wat Pho), houses the largest group of Buddha statues in Thailand (including the famed 46-meter long Reclining Buddha). Wat Pho, Thailand’s first “university”, is regarded as the first centre of learning, educating the public on subjects from literature to astronomy by way its myriad inscriptions, murals and statues. This temple is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. We will end the tour with a visit to Wat Benchamaborpit (also known as the Marble Temple) a stunning marriage of Italian marble and classical Thai architecture. This half-day tour will delight those interested in Buddhism and its history, as well as those drawn to the busy life of the city. (B)
