Additional Information
There’s no better place to begin your Bangkok journey than the city’s most renowned landmark: the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha). The grandiosity of its architecture makes it a must-visit for anyone traveling to the City of Angels.
Embarking on a long-tail boat canal trip, which lasts roughly 2 hours, offers the opportunity to explore a lesser-known side of Bangkok, far from the hustle and bustle of popular tourist spots. Discover an untouched piece of Bangkok, and experience the city as it was half a century ago!
- Remember that the Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew are sacred places and you must dress appropriately. Shoulders and ankles need to be covered (for both men and women; sleeveless shirt with a scarf covering is also not allowed). No shorts, leggings, ripped jeans, slippers (flip-flops), or revealing tops, otherwise you won’t be allowed in.
- Not recommended for travelers with mobility issues since it might be too hard to get in and out the boat (there are no stairs at the piers).
