Morning
Start the day with breakfast before heading out to explore some of Bangkok’s best-known temples.
First up is Wat Traimit, home to the world’s largest solid gold Buddha. From there, take a walk through some of the older parts of the city before visiting Wat Pho, known for its massive reclining Buddha.

Continue on to the Grand Palace, one of Bangkok’s top sights. Take your time exploring the complex, including Wat Phra Kaew, where the Emerald Buddha is housed.
Stop for lunch at a local restaurant before heading into the afternoon.
Afternoon
In the afternoon, head out onto the water for a long-tail boat ride through the canals on the Thonburi side of the city. It’s a great way to see a quieter side of Bangkok and get a glimpse of local life along the waterways.
You’ll also stop at Wat Arun, one of the city’s most recognisable temples, set along the Chao Phraya River. Take some time to look around and enjoy the views before heading back.
