Walking Tour: Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha & Wat Pho

Bangkok 4–6 hours Small group

Overview

Join a detailed half-day walking tour (4–6 hours) through central Bangkok's most revered royal and sacred sites. Meet your guide at Golden Place near Tha Chang Pier, then walk to the magnificent Grand Palace — still used by the Thai royal family on special occasions — to marvel at its architecture and the sacred Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) inside the complex. Continue on foot to Wat Pho to gaze at the colossal reclining Buddha, then take a ferry across the river to Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn) for photos and views. A morning start is recommended to avoid the heat. Live guided in English, French, German, or Spanish, with a small group limited to 8 participants for a personal experience. You can also choose to add a 1-hour canal long-tail boat ride to visit Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen.
