What to expect

No trip to Thailand is complete without visiting one of the most iconic site, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho). The Buddha measures at 46 meters long (151 feet) and the site features a whopping 394 Buddhas that can be found spread out between four different chapels on-site.

Begin the tour at the temple's gate and you will be led through the tour with your app. Learn about the history of Wat Pho, which was believed to be founded during the 16th century and later served as The Royal Temple of King Rama I of Chakri Dynasty. Wat Pho is known as the "nation's first public university," thanks to 1,360 marble inscriptions about medical, historical, and liberal sciences places all around the temple.

Don Wai Market and Boat Trip

Don Wai market has become something of a star in recent years. It's authentically Thai – there's lots of noise, colour, flavour and a few weird eats. And as it's a bit off the tourist radar, you can explore without the crowds – except locals, that is. To round off this genuine Thai morning, there's also a boat trip on the Tha Chin River.

Wat Bang Kung temple visit and mangrove boat ride from Bangkok

Lying along the Gulf of Thailand, the province of Samut Songkhram is best known for its floating markets and swimming monkeys. This tour from Bangkok shines the spotlight on two of the area's top attractions - Wat Bang Kung Buddhist temple and Khlong Khon Mangrove Conservation Centre.While Thailand has many Buddhist temples to visit, Wat Bang Kung is one of the most iconic. Swamped by the roots and branches of a huge Banyan tree, it's like nothing you've seen before. It's believed that the ancient temple was built over 300 years ago, as it houses paintings from the late Ayutthaya period. Inside, discover the famous golden Nila Manee Buddha statue, which many locals visit daily to worship. Then take a relaxing stroll along the Mae Klong river.Up next is the Mangrove Forest Conservation Centre in the coastal village of Khlong Khon. You'll board a longtail boat and cruise through mangroves, getting up close and personal to wild monkeys that patrol the river banks. Some of the cheeky creatures may even swim up to the boat to greet you. The tour ends with a tasty seafood lunch served at a local restaurant.
