Grand Palace & City Temples (Half Day/Full Day). This is a must see for all visitors to Bangkok. The Grand Palace complex, which includes the temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Keow). is unquestionably one of the wonders of the world.Within its enormous grounds is the most exotic Buddhist temple and the heart of the temple itself is a fabulous Buddha image carved from one piece of Jade. Visit Wat Trimitr - the temple of the Golden Buddha, Wat Po - the temple of the reclining Buddha and Wat Benchamabopit or the marble temple.
Rice Barge (Half Day).
This is a relaxing afternoon for you to experience the 'Venice of the East'. Cruise first by longtail speedboats through the canals. Midway, your cruise will continue on a converted rice barge. The rivers and khlongs (canals) around Bangkok serve as a natural highway for many local Thai people going about their everyday business. The people of Bangkok still depend on these waterways to transport their merchandise, in particular rice, as the canals are linked to the rice fields.
