Day 2 – Bangkok – Bangkok City Tour

Hotel pickup: 07:40–08:00

Meals: Breakfast

After breakfast at the hotel, the guide will meet us at the reception to head to the Golden Buddha or Wat Traimit in the heart of Chinatown. The Golden Buddha is one of the most important representations of Buddha in Thailand, a 5.5-ton gold statue from the Sukhothai era, of immeasurable value.

Next, we’ll visit the splendid Royal Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. These are located within the same complex, starting with Wat Phra Kaew, where we’ll see the Emerald Buddha carved from a single piece of jade. Then we’ll visit the Royal Palace, pride of the Thai people and former residence of the Kings until the 19th century.

Later, we’ll visit “Wat Pho” or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Besides the impressive Buddha image, this temple was the first school of traditional Thai medicine and massage, considered the country’s first university.

We’ll return to the hotel around 12–1 PM and have the afternoon free.

Six times a day, shopping is interrupted by a train passing through the market. If we’re lucky and the train runs on schedule, we’ll witness vendors dismantling their stalls in record time to let the old train pass—amazing and surreal!

Even if the train doesn’t pass, we’ll explore the market and its wide variety of everyday products.

Then we’ll go to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (15 km further), the most famous and touristy market in the country, featured in many travel catalogs. A boat ride is included at the floating market.

We’ll return to the hotel around 1 PM and have the afternoon free.

Day 4 – Bangkok – Ayutthaya Ruins – Flight to Chiang Rai

We’ll explore its Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, visiting its four most famous temples: Wat Mahathat, Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, Chai Wattanaram, and Wat Pra Sri Sanphet.

At Wat Mahathat, we’ll see the famous Buddha head embraced by tree roots.

These temples are partially destroyed due to the Burmese attack in 1767 AD, which forced the Siamese to abandon the city and move south to found Bangkok and the Thai state.

The ruins date from the 14th to 18th centuries and are among the most photogenic and important in the country.
