What to expect

1. Stop 1 · 40min

   Wat Traimit (the Temple of Golden Buddha) is a public temple famous for its enormous gold Buddha image informally called “the Golden Buddha” in the position of subduing the evil. This Golden Buddha image is about 700-800 years old since it is likely to be casted in Sukhothai era, the early beginning of Thai history.

2. Stop 2

   Bangkok Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatown located inside cities. It is arguable that Bangkok Chinatown is one of the best to discover what makes it so unique. The road going through this Chinatown is Yaowarat Road, built in 1891 (or 2434 Buddhist Era). This 2 kilometer road is often called “the Dragon Road”, connecting the curve-shaped Chinatown’s historical neighborhood.

3. Stop 3 · 40min

   Wat Pho (the Temple of Reclining Buddha) is attracting more visitors as a result of its registration with the UNESCO as one of the “Memory of the World”. Wat Pho is well known for its gold-leaf covered “the Reclining Buddha Image”, the gigantic statue with 46 meters in length and 15 meters in height. Moreover, the feet of the Reclining Buddha Image are beautifully inlaid with mother-of-pearl carved with holy signs.

4. Stop 4

   The Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is informally called “the White House” of Bangkok. It is an impressive building to be used as a reception hall for the Dusit Palace. Designed in Italian Renaissance style, it is made from Italian white marble with a large dome in the center and six smaller surrounding domes.

5. Stop 5

   Chitralada Palace is spoken for short as "the King Palace” by Thai people. It is the residence of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit in Bangkok and has a total area of 4 square kilometers. The Chitralada Palace is also home to dairy farm and factories built by the late King Rama IX Bhumibol Adulyadej. The palace has research centers on grazing animals and agricultural products to improve the quality of lives of Thai people.

6. Stop 6 · 40min

   Wat Ben (the Marble Temple) provides the great photo spot for all travelers. The temple has a milky, Thai-European style ordination hall made of Carara Marble from Italy. Building in this temple features meticulous high gables, stepped-out roofs and elaborate finials. The cloister of the ordination hall features quaint buddha images from many countries in Southeast Asia. You will be surprised by the large variety in styles and gestures of the buddha images.
