Morning Half Day Royal Palace & Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho Tour (During time: 08:30am-12:00pm)
Visit Wat Phra Kaew and the nearby attractions first, before moving on to the Grand Palace. Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is located right next to the Grand Palace, and they probably form together the greatest spectacle for visitors in Bangkok. A visit to the Royal Grand Palace, the nation’s landmark, and most praised royal monument in Thailand, is a must. The palace, which is the former royal residence of the Chakri Kings, is the perfect example of an ancient Siamese court. Built in 1782 by King Rama I, it was the center of power for more than 150 years. Today, the palace is Bangkok’s major landmark and most popular tourist attraction. Indeed, the Grand Palace is an amazing place to visit, as it consists of over 100 brightly colored buildings, golden spires, and glittering mosaics, that all date back to the foundation of Bangkok in 1782.
Continue visiting “Wat Pho” with its Reclining Buddha image. Wat Pho is regarded as the first center of public education and is sometimes called ‘Thailand’s first university’.
