Highlights
  • The Grand Palace - The Grand Palace was constructed together with the founding of Bangkok in 1782 when King Rama 1 ascended to the throne and founded a new dynasty.\n\nThe Grand Palace is very important as it used to be the palladium of the state. It was used for both the royal residence and the administrative center of the country in the government system of absolute monarchy. Today, the palace is used just for ceremonials.\n\nThe architectural plan of this palace was almost identical in every detail to the Grand Palace of the former capital of Ayutthaya (about 600 years ago) because the King wanted to recreate the glory of the city as it was in the past. So it was completely first built in traditional Thai style.\n\nHowever, at various periods, the influences from other nations affect to the architecture in Thailand in different reigns such as the Chinese elements introduced by King Rama 3 in the early 19th century and the western building style introduced by King Rama 5 in the late 19th century.\n

Guided Temple Tour - I had the best day out with Som. My first solo trip to Bangkok and Som made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend going with a private guide as she knew exactly where to go and very knowledgeable. Also, it was no issue at all to adapt the tour slightly to add in a boat trip for me.

Best temple tour day in Bangkok! - We had the BEST and busiest day with Pop “Poppy” as our tour guide! We went all around Bangkok to see the beautiful temples and palaces such as The Grand Palace, Wat Arum, reclining Buddha and more, as well as stops for snacks, lunch and Chinatown and ended the day with an amazing river tour. We received lots of great photos all day as well. Would definitely recommend this tour, and specifically Poppy!

100000% worth it!! - Bangkok first timers and we are so happy we booked this tour. The booking was easy, the service was excelent and we learned so much from our guide Alex who was so knowledgable and kind. She always answered our many questions with a smile, she showed us the best spots for pictures to avoid the crowds and she always went a long way to make sure we were having a great experience. There is no way we could've done this on our own and ended up learning so much about Thailand's culture. Seriously, look no further, if you want a great temples experience this is your tour! Thank you again Alex and Nok! 😀🙏

Family day at Thai Temples. - My family went on a temple tour with Guide Katie. She arrived at our hotel and was kind enough to know the best public transportation to take based off the time of day and day of the week. She was very thorough with her details and describing how each temple we visited. She answered all our questions and even double checked with each try gate if our 6 year old would have to pay the entry fee (he was free at each one). As traveling with children often is unpredictable Katie was always willing to ask if we needed a break, needed the restroom, and needed to speed up or slow down depending on our needs. She was very knowledgable and we appreciated her willingness to teach us, help us, and offer the kind friendly Thai culture with us.
