Our tour guide will give you a warm welcome upon your arrival at Bangkok Airport, then our private driver will transfer you to the hotel in Bangkok for checking-in.

NOTE:Please proceed to the meeting point located on the 2nd floor, inside the arrivals hall.Your representative will hold a sign with your name on it, or in case of multiple pick-ups, the signs may be hanging on the aluminum railing at our meeting point. 

Morning

Today, you will explore Bangkok’s finest temples and have a tour of the city’s fascinating canals.

After breakfast at the hotel, start our trip at Wat Traimit - home to the large solid golden Buddha - before hopping across the old city streets to see an even larger Buddha statue at Wat Pho.

Our next stop is the magnificent Grand Palace, another sprawling temple complex boasting some of the finest Thai-Buddhist architecture in the entire country. 

You can continue exploring the vast grounds and numerous dazzling buildings, including the highly-revered Wat Phra Kaew, home to the prized Emerald Buddha statue dating back to the 14th Century.

Afternoon

After grabbing lunch, we spend the better part of the afternoon on the water, meandering through the quaint canals and taking in the quieter side of life from the seat of a traditional ‘long tail’ boat.

A tour of Bangkok’s Thonburi side isn’t complete without the spectacular and iconic Wat Arun - take time to explore the iconic temple towering 79 meters over the Chao Phraya River.

NOTE:

You should wear long pants, shoes that cover the heel, and shirts that cover the upper arm (no vests). This is to show respect to the Thai people.

Let's start this busy day with an early morning departure with a tour guide at 7:30 and head for the province of Ratchaburi, around 100 kilometers southwest of Bangkok.

This quaint old province is home to one of the most famous floating markets in the country, Damnoen Saduak, and there’s ample time to explore the network of canals via traditional longtail boats.

You can also walk around, taking in the vibrant sights, sounds, and smells, as well as bargaining for souvenirs or indulging in local delicacies.

Head north on the road to Kanchanaburi, home to the world-famous ‘Bridge over the River Kwai’ built during the Second World War. Take your time to explore this iconic structure, together with the nearby war museum, which gives an excellent insight into the horrors that unfolded during the bridge’s construction.

Board the train at Nam Tok Station and ride along the notorious ‘death railway’ yourself, passing through the jungles and along a heart-stopping cliff overlooking the river.

Afterward, there’s time to visit the poignant War Cemetery, containing the remains of 6,982 prisoners of the war.

On this day excursion to Thailand's ancient capital, you will see the historical sights of Ayutthaya by minivan and boat.

Leaving Bangkok in the morning after breakfast at the hotel, you will first visit Bang Pa-In Palace, which combines European, Gothic, and Thai-Buddhist architecture. There will be time to tour the expansive grounds containing various temple structures, a guard tower, and a peaceful lake.

Then we board the minivan for a short ride to Wat Yai Chai Mongkol on the eastern bank of the Pa Sak River, a temple claimed to have been established by King U-Thong as a resting site for monks coming from Sri Lanka.

Our next visit is Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, a temple that does not allow monks to enter due to its 'royal' status, followed by Wat Mahathat, a highly-sacred temple noted for its Lord Buddha relics and traditional style, which was previously used as a model for other temples in the old kingdom. The temple's most visible feature appears to be the head of a sandstone Buddha sculpture intertwined in the roots of a Bodhi tree.

Then, you will eat lunch at a riverside restaurant before continuing our cultural adventure in the afternoon by sailing along the river to explore the ruins, imagining it as a delightful and glorious city in the past.

You will be driven back to Bangkok, arriving at your accommodation in the late afternoon.

After breakfast at your hotel, our tour guide will pick up your family in the lobby. On this 5th day, you and your children will have a sightseeing tour to visit Safari World, which is a drive-in zoological park divided into two parts.

• Safari Park: an open zoo with wild animals, is the first stop 
• Marine Park:where there are a variety of marine animals and shows of trained dolphins, birds, seals, and apes.

You will enjoy the buffet lunch at Safari World, then follow the Safari World Schedule.

The tour guide and driver will take you back to the hotel. The rest of the day is free for your leisure.

This is a free day for you and your spouse to explore Bangkok or go shopping at the world’s top shopping malls.

Your family will spend the last night in Bangkok.

You will have free time until the driver picks you up and then transfer you to the airport for your next flight.

NOTE: The check-out time at the hotel is 12:00.
