Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and Reclining Buddha Private Tour

Enjoy a tour of Bangkok’s Grand Palace Complex, known for its blend of traditional Thai and European architecture. Explore the Grand Palace Complex—once home to the Kings of Siam—with your friendly local guide on this Bangkok private tour. Visit the Royal Funeral Hall and the Royal Coronation Hall of this iconic structure that is still used on occasion by the king today. Marvel at the Emerald Buddha, housed in Wat Phra Kaew—and listen as your guide explains how this holy religious object was carved from a single piece of jade. Your guide will point out the intricate designs that decorate this famous structure and highlight the roof tiles that some say touch the sky.

Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha), or Wat Phra Chetuphon, is located behind the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and a must-do for any first-time visitor in Bangkok. It's one of the largest temple complexes in the city and famed for its giant reclining Buddha that measures 46 metres long and is covered in gold leaf. It’s an easy ten minute walk between here and the Grand Palace, and we recommend coming to Wat Pho second, because even though the golden Buddha here is just as popular many people don’t take the time to wander around the rest of the complex so the experience tends to be far more relaxing.

This private morning tour includes English speaking guide and hotel pick ups and is a great way to introduce you to the best 2 temples in Bangkok.
