Royal Grand Palace and Bangkok Temples: Half Day Tour
Highlights
- Visit the Grand Palace complex
- Private tour for your group only
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included
- Led by a local guide
- Free cancellation
- Instant confirmation
This private tour opens at Wat Traimit, home to a 5.5-tonne solid gold Buddha rediscovered in 1955 when a crane dropped it and cracked off the plaster shell that had hidden its value for two centuries. From there it moves to the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew’s Emerald Buddha, then Wat Pho for the 46-metre Reclining Buddha, Bangkok’s three most-visited religious sites in one 4-to-5-hour run.
Pickup starts at 8:00 AM by air-conditioned minivan, with a guide throughout and stops along the Chao Phraya riverfront, the City Pillar Shrine, and a drive past Wat Arun and Chinatown on the way back. If time allows, the tour stops at a jewellery outlet. Skip the pressure to buy if it’s not your thing.
Insider Tip: Cover your shoulders and knees before you arrive. Grand Palace security turns away anyone in shorts or sleeveless tops, and there’s no time built in for a costume change mid-tour.
Guides run the tour in English, German, Italian, French, or Spanish, for groups up to 15.
