Day 2 - Bangkok
After breakfast, we spend half a day exploring three of Bangkok’s most significant Buddhist sites. We begin at Wat Traimit – the Temple of the Golden Buddha – which houses a 3 metre tall statue made of solid gold and weighing 5.5 tonnes. We then pass through Chinatown en route to Wat Pho, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and home to the Chedis of the Kings; the statue here is 46 metres long and 15 metres high, depicting the Buddha’s passing into nirvana. We continue to the Grand Palace – former residence of the Kings of Bangkok – an outstanding example of an ancient Siamese court. Within the complex we see a range of palaces used for different occasions, including the Funeral Palace, Reception Palace, Throne Hall, Coronation Hall, Royal Guest House and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. To round off the tour, we stop at a local lapidary factory and showroom, where you can browse for locally made jewellery, handicrafts and silk at competitive prices.Note: The Grand Palace is closed during special royal ceremonies and during visiting heads of state.Overnight in Bangkok.
