Itinerary
The Grand Palace
1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedA visit to Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew is a true highlight of any trip to Bangkok. The glittering Grand Palace is an architectural masterpiece that served as the official residence of the kings of the Chakri Dynasty for more than 150 years. Built in 1782 by King Rama I, the complex features an extraordinary collection of golden spires, ornate halls and richly decorated pavilions that reflect the finest craftsmanship of Thai architecture. Within the palace grounds lies Wat Phra Kaew, Thailand’s most sacred temple, home to the revered Emerald Buddha, a small but highly venerated statue carved from a single block of jade. The temple’s walls are adorned with colourful murals depicting scenes from the Ramakien, Thailand’s national epic. Please note: The entrance fee of THB 500 per person is NOT included and must be paid cash on the day of the tour.Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
Bangkok’s traffic is often heavily congested, so we kindly ask all guests to arrive on time. We always recommend taking the BTS (skytrain) or MRT (metro) to a station near the meeting point. As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available time slot or day, though a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.
In case of no-show or showing up too late at the meeting point, no refund will be provided.
