Walking tour Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha and Wat Pho

The tour explores the Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha, and Wat Pho, highlighting their history and beauty. Visitors admire the palace’s details, the sacred Emerald Buddha, and Wat Pho’s majestic Reclining Buddha.

The Half-Day Tour (3 Hours) offers a guided exploration of central Bangkok, starting at the Golden Place, a location surrounded by important Royal buildings. To make the most of your visit, we recommend beginning the tour in the morning, as the temperature is cooler and more comfortable for walking.

From the meeting point, the guide will lead you toward the Grand Palace, one of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks, still used by the Royal Family for special occasions and ceremonies. Upon arrival, we will purchase entry tickets and enter the palace complex, where you will witness the breathtaking architecture and rich cultural heritage of Thailand.

Inside the Grand Palace complex, we will visit the Emerald Buddha Temple, one of the most sacred sites in the country. This revered Buddha statue, carved from a single piece of jade, is considered a symbol of Thailand’s spirituality. After spending time in the temple, the tour continues with a walk to Wat Pho, home to the majestic Reclining Buddha, which stretches 46 meters in length and is covered in gold leaf. This part of the tour typically lasts 2-3 hours, allowing visitors to explore these historical and spiritual landmarks in depth.

Tickets for the tour can be pre-booked, ensuring a smoother experience. However, a physical ticket must be purchased at the entrance. If you choose to buy tickets on-site, the cost is cheaper, but waiting times may vary depending on the queue.

For those looking to extend their journey, there is an option to add a visit to Wat Arun, known as the Temple of Dawn, which offers stunning views of the Chao Phraya River. Alternatively, you can opt for a 1-hour canal tour, providing a unique perspective on Bangkok’s waterways. Another option includes a visit to Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, an impressive temple complex currently under scaffolding, yet still worth exploring for its spiritual significance.
