TEMPLES, CANALS & THE GRAND PALACE (B)
We start exploring the Thai capital as we hop aboard a long-tail boat to tour Bangkok’s canals, temples, and the Grand Palace. First, cruise Thonburi’s scenic ‘klongs’ (canals) on the Chao Praya River’s west bank. See the Royal Barges Museum and the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), and get a glimpse of everyday life in the former capital district. Then, visit the splendid Grand Palace complex, the most important and impressive royal palace in Thailand. Your guide will show you the courts used for different occasions, including the Funeral Palace, the Reception Palace, the Throne Hall, the Coronation Hall, the Royal Guest House, and the mysterious Emerald Buddha, the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. Appropriate dress is required. We return to our hotel for a free afternoon to enjoy this vibrant city.
BANGKOK (B)
Free day in Bangkok.
Bangkok is famous for its markets and has some of the best markets in the world. If you are a big fan of markets, the Chatuchak weekend market (opens on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) is well worth spending a few hours. This open market offers a great variety of unique things to shop, the delicious street food, snacks, and drinks. It is fun walking around in between the different stalls looking at all the strange, unique, useful, and unuseful things they sell. When you find something you like, remember to haggle over the price.
