Itinerary

Day 1
Bangkok
The day begins in Bangkok, where the morning is dedicated to visiting the Grand Palace, a significant historical site that has served as the royal residence for generations. This visit includes a detailed tour of the palace grounds, allowing time to appreciate the intricate architecture and learn about the history of the Thai monarchy. Following this, the exploration continues with a visit to Wat Pho, home to the impressive Reclining Buddha. Here, visitors can marvel at the grandeur of the statue and the serene atmosphere of the temple complex. As the afternoon unfolds, there is an opportunity to delve deeper into the cultural heritage of Bangkok by exploring the surrounding areas of Wat Pho. This includes walking through the bustling streets, where one can observe local life and perhaps engage with street vendors offering a variety of traditional Thai snacks and souvenirs. The afternoon also provides a chance to relax and reflect on the morning's experiences while enjoying the vibrant cityscape. In the evening, the activities take a more leisurely turn with a traditional Thai dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River. This cruise offers a unique perspective of Bangkok's skyline as it transitions from day to night. Guests can enjoy a sumptuous Thai meal while gliding past illuminated landmarks and temples along the riverbanks. The gentle movement of the boat and the scenic views create a memorable dining experience. The night concludes back in Bangkok, where the day's activities come to a close. After disembarking from the dinner cruise, there is time to unwind and prepare for the next day's adventures. The transition from the day's rich cultural experiences to a restful night sets the stage for another day of exploration in the vibrant city of Bangkok.
