What To Expect
Temple of the Emerald Buddha
The Emerald Buddha (Phra Kaew Morakot) is the most important Buddha image in Thailand, cast from green jade. It was discovered in Chiang Rai in 1434 inside a collapsed stupa. Over time, it was moved through Lampang, Chiang Mai, and Lopburi, and in 1784 King Rama I brought it to Bangkok, where it is enshrined at Wat Phra Kaew in the Grand Palace. Highly revered, the Emerald Buddha is dressed in seasonal gold robes, which the King changes three times a year, symbolizing both religious devotion and the protection of Thailand.
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. The 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. The 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. However, 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.

5.00Paula made this tour feel so easy and fun from the beginning. She explained everything in simple English and always made sure we were comfortable. The Grand Palace was absolutely beautiful and full of details I could never stop looking at. The Reclining Buddha temple was much bigger than I expected and very peaceful inside. The Temple of Dawn was probably my favorite stop because the view near the river was amazing. Paula also knew the best spots for photos and helped us avoid crowded areas. The whole tour was very organized and relaxing. I went with my wife and we both loved every minute of it.
Stunning temples and great vibes

5.00We traveled with my elderly parents and Som was so patient and helpful. She made sure we didn't walk too much in the sun at the Grand Palace. The Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is so impressive. Som’s kindness made the difference for us. The cold water she provided were very much appreciated!
Don't hesitate, book Preecha!

5.00I had such a fun day with Preecha! He’s so charismatic and knows everyone at the temples. The Grand Palace is amazing, but the best part was Preecha’s stories at Wat Arun. He really looks after you and makes sure you have a great time. Cold water was always available. 10/10!
Tip was so helpful

5.00I did this solo and felt totally comfortable. Alex is a great, very knowledgeable about the history of the Reclining Buddha. The Grand Palace is huge, but Alex guided me through the crowds so I didn't feel overwhelmed. We ended the tour at Wat Arun, which is probably the most beautiful temple I've ever seen. Great organization
Incredible sights, great guide

5.00Peter was fantastic. He handled all the tickets and logistics so we could just enjoy the beauty of the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. The Reclining Buddha is a must-see! Crossing the river to Wat Arun was very cool. The van was so comfortable. Great experience.
