- Exploration, by local traditional boat, the khlongs of Bangkok
- Walking through traditional area Baan Silapin, famous as the craftman village
Set off for a day of exploration through the iconic temples and monuments of the Thai capital.
First, visit the Grand Palace, the former residence of the Thai royal family. Housing some of Thailand’s most priceless antiques and legacies, it is also home to Wat Prae Keaw (Temple of the Emerald Buddha).
You’ll get to discover these treasures and also observe the stunning architecture of the building itself before heading to the magnificent reclining Buddha of Wat Pho.
It’s a promise, you’ll get absolutely flabbergasted by the beauty and size of one of the greatest Buddhist structures in the world!
Take part in an ancient rite of walking and placing old coins around the temple for good luck and prosperity.
Then, head to the “Temple of the Dawn”, located on the right bank of the river. This marvelous temple, known locally as Wat Arun, is shaped like a Khmer-style prang. Both for its location and unique architecture, Wat Arun is the perfect spot to take stunning pictures.
As you’re close to the river, board one of these traditional Thai-style long-tail boats for some aquatic tourism. Your guide will explain you the importance of the khlongs in the daily lives of the local people. As you cruise the Chao Phraya and the river’s smaller tributaries, you’ll get to witness the inhabitants’ unique lifestyle alongside these little canals. Watch them fishing, bathing, playing, cooking, and trading along the rivers.
Eventually, stop at the traditional Baan Silapin artist’s house, home to a master artist and puppeteer who performed for the royal family. Today, he works to preserve the ancient art of puppet making and this vibrant Thai performance art. Take a seat in his traditional Thai teak house, which is itself a piece of art preserved by a group of art lovers and transformed into a theater and art gallery.
Excluding Wednesdays, you can have the chance to attend a fascinating puppet show. You’ll also learn more about puppet-making, before a walking exploration of the local artisan village, residence to many Thai artists who have set up their studios.
At the end of the day, return to the pier where your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.”
