What you can expect

The Private Tour: Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha Temples offers a rich, personalised journey into two of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks. This half-day tour allows you to explore the grandeur of the Grand Palace and the serene beauty of Wat Pho, home to the famous Reclining Buddha. With a private guide leading the way, you'll gain unique insights into Thailand's history, religion, and architecture while enjoying a flexible, customised experience.

1. The Grand Palace

Your adventure begins at the spectacular Grand Palace, the former royal residence and the ceremonial heart of Thailand for over 150 years. The palace is renowned for its intricate architecture, golden spires, and detailed craftsmanship that showcase the best of traditional Thai art and design.

  • Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha): Inside the Grand Palace complex, you’ll visit the most sacred temple in Thailand, which houses the Emerald Buddha—a revered statue carved from jade. The temple's vibrant murals, golden structures, and serene courtyards offer a glimpse into Thailand's deep-rooted spiritual traditions.
  • Royal History: As you explore the palace grounds, your guide will share stories of the Thai monarchy and the significance of the Grand Palace as a cultural and historical centrepiece. You’ll discover the blend of Thai and Western architectural influences that make the palace unique.

2. Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha)

Next, you’ll visit Wat Pho, one of Bangkok’s oldest and largest temples, known for its majestic 46-meter-long Reclining Buddha. This gold-plated statue represents the Buddha in a state of Nirvana, and its intricate details, including mother-of-pearl inlays on the Buddha’s feet, are truly awe-inspiring.

  • Cultural Significance: Your guide will explain the spiritual importance of Wat Pho, a key site for Buddhist teachings and ceremonies. The temple is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, and you’ll learn about its role in preserving this ancient art.
  • Stunning Temple Grounds: Wat Pho’s grounds are equally impressive, with beautiful stupas, intricate statues, and peaceful courtyards that provide a tranquil escape from the bustling city.

3. Personalised Private Tour

As a private tour, this experience is tailored to your interests and pace. Your knowledgeable guide will offer detailed explanations and answer any questions you may have about Thailand’s culture.
