Discover Bangkok's origins along the Chao Phraya River, visiting the first
Christian community of Santa Cruz and the neighboring Chinese Thai temple, Wat
Kalayanamit, home to Bangkok's largest sitting Buddha. Stop briefly at Wat
Hongrattanaram, where you'll find a shrine devoted to the first king of
Bangkok, Taksin. This chapel, the largest in Thonburi, is considered by some
to be the most beautiful in Bangkok.
Cycle through back lanes and along tree-lined canals to Khlong Bang Luang and
