Great trip. I have always wanted to visit temples in Thailand and this trip includes so many locations in a span of half day.
Thailand old-day architecture is amazing. All temples have different features and have its own beauty that you can look away when you visit it.

I've never seen such things in my life. My tour guide Anna gave me and my girlfriend deep insight about Bang Kok and the religious life of Thai people. Street food was amazing as well. Totally recommend.
