Itinerary

The Grand Palace

The Grand Palace is Bangkok’s largest and most impressive complex, located in the city’s heart and surrounded by universities. It is the former residence of the king, and it is regarded as a national symbol and treasure by the Thai people. When King Rama I relocated the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok in 1782, he erected the Grand Palace. New buildings were created as new monarchs came to power over the years; unlike other palaces, these buildings are all independent, rather than extending over time.

Wat Phra Chetuphon

Wat Pho was the Royal Temple of Chakri Dynasty King Rama I, and was officially named Wat Prachetuphon Vimon Mangkararam. Wat Pho, one of Bangkok’s most frequented Buddhist temples, was founded in the 16th century. The revered 46-meter Reclining Buddha with finely inlaid mother-of-pearl feet may be found in the main ordination hall.

Wat Pho is known among Thais as “the nation’s first public university.” Around the shrine are 1,360 marble inscriptions representing medical, historical, and liberal sciences. The foundations of Thai traditional massage principles can be found in the marble inscriptions of medical sciences, anatomy, and orthopedics, which has made Wat Pho a world-famous location as the home of Thai massage.

Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)

Wat Arun is located on the banks of the Chao Praya River and is named after the Hindu god Aruna. Wat Chaeng is the local name for it. Since the Ayutthaya Kingdom began in the 12th century, this region has been home to a temple, Wat Makok. It hosted the Emerald Buddha until it was moved to Wat Phra Kaew in the early 1800s.

Wat Arun is known as the “Temple of Dawn” because its main stupa (prang), unlike all other temples in the city, is built in the Khmer style and adorned with porcelain diamonds. On top is a seven-pronged trident known as Shiva’s. Mount Meru, a sacred five-peaked mountain that serves as the link between the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual universes in Buddhist and Hindu cosmology, is symbolized by the ‘prang.’

Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

Bangkok’s Chinatown

Bangkok’s Chinatown is one of the world’s largest Chinatowns. It was created in 1782 as the capital of the Rattanakosin Kingdom and served as the home of the city’s predominantly Teochew immigrant Chinese population, which quickly became the city’s dominant ethnic group.

The streets are lined with vibrant marketplaces, narrow alleyways loaded with tiny businesses, traditional drug stores, and numerous temples, making it an ideal area to walk and explore. The primary region is centered around Yaowarat road, and it is here that you will be able to see how the original Chinese settlers live today among the Thai people of Bangkok.
