Today, we will take the whole day to explore Bangkok – the city of golden temples.

The first destination is the Grand Palace. This huge architecture complex is over 2 sq. kilometers, including 3 main sites: Royal Palace, Royal Office and pagodas (Wat) built in 1770s. Nowadays, the Grand Palace is no longer home of Thailand Royal, most of national significant events takes place there.

Wat Phra Kaew is the most out-standing architecture in complex, built in 1785 when King Rama I moved the capital to Bangkok. The pagoda is famous not only for its beauty of unique Thailand Buddhism architecture but also for the sacred jade Buddha statue.

Nearby Grand Palace is Wat Pho – the oldest and biggest pagoda in Bangkok with more than 1000 Buddha statues and the huge one sit-back Buddha in gold. This pagoda is also famous for being a birthplace of traditional Thai massage, since there is a traditional medicine school established in 1982, educating the arts of Thai massage.

After having lunch by your own account, we visit the last destination of the day: Wat Traimit. This pagoda is famous for its unique and historic beauty, and also for the huge golden Buddha statue. Thai people believe that the statue represents for prosperity and purity, as well as strength and power.

We continue our trip to explore a temple hidden within the roots of banyan tree - Wat Bang Kungwhich has been buried for years in thick foliage; step through trailing vines into its intimate shrine, and pay your respects to a gleaming golden Buddha statue.

The temple reminds a war between Burmese and Siamese in the 18th century on a landscape that serves the battleground. Today, the temple and nearby area is preserved as a memorial to those heroic warriors of the past.

Located 50 km from Bangkok, Amphawa Floating Market apparently already present since the mid-seventeenth century. It has become such a magnet for Thai weekenders that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets. 

Here, you can buy plenty of unique and cheap traditional Thai snacks, which is such an ideal gift for your family/friends.

When the night falls, you will get the motorboat and cruise along the canal as you see the villagers spend their daily life by the river. And if you are lucky enough, you will get to see fireflies light up the night like stars in cloudless sky.
