FULL DAY BANGKOK TEMPLES & CANALS TOUR WITH WAT KHUN CHAN, WAT PAKNAM INCLUDE LUNCH
Private group · 6.5 hours · Lunch Included
In the morning, meet your personal guide for a full-day tour of Bangkok. First, head to a nearby pier and board a long-tail boat for a scenic ride down the Chao Phraya River. After cruising the main waterway and enjoying spectacular views of Bangkok's skyline, you'll turn off into the maze of klongs—narrow canals running through residential neighborhoods. Witness candid scenes of local life as you pass wooden stilt houses strewn with clotheslines; wave to friendly locals relaxing on their porches as traditional music emanates from indoors. Also, keep an eye out for waterbirds like herons, pelicans, and egrets.
The first stop on this boat tour will be at the waterfront temple of Wat Khun Chan. You can't miss the giant, colorful statues of Buddha, deities, and animals. Then visit Wat Paknam, a royal temple dating to the 17th century. You'll tour the museum here, which showcases artifacts from throughout the history of Bangkok and Thailand. This temple complex is also famous for its 226-foot (69-m) statue of a seated golden Buddha—the largest such statue in the city. From here, travel back to the Chao Phraya River and return to the pier, where you'll disembark and have lunch nearby.

In the afternoon, you'll visit two of Bangkok's most famous landmarks: The Grand Palace and The Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The former has been the royal residence since the days of the Siam Kingdom in 1782, and even today it's used for official ceremonies. The latter is perhaps the most iconic Buddhist temple in the country, but the real treasure is inside: a 26-inch (66-cm) jade statue of a meditating Buddha. At the end of the day, you'll return to your hotel.
