Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha
Bangkok’s most dazzling landmark, a complex of golden temples and ornate halls that once housed Thailand’s kings. The Emerald Buddha, carved from a single block of jade, is the country’s most sacred image.
Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
Rising from the riverside, Wat Arun’s colourful spires glitter in the sunlight. At sunset it’s even more magical, glowing orange as the city lights begin to twinkle.
Floating Markets
Bustling canals where traders sell fruit, flowers and hot bowls of noodles straight from their boats. A visit here gives clients a true taste of old Bangkok’s charm.
Wat Pho
Home to the 46-metre-long Reclining Buddha, its golden statue fills the temple hall. This is also the birthplace of Thai massage, still practised by experts today.
Chao Phraya River Cruise
Gliding along Bangkok’s “River of Kings” gives a different view of the city. Temples, palaces and skyscrapers all pass by, while the warm evening air makes it especially atmospheric.
