The first destination is the Grand Palace.
This huge architectural complex is over 2 sq. kilometers, including 3 main sites: Royal Palace, Royal Office, and pagodas (Wat) built in the 1770s. Nowadays, the Grand Palace is no longer the home of Thailand Royal, most national events take place there.
Wat Phra Kaew is the most outstanding architecture complex, built in 1785 when King Rama I moved the capital to Bangkok. The pagoda is famous not only for its beauty of unique Thailand Buddhist architecture but also for the sacred jade Buddha statue.
Nearby Grand Palace is Wat Pho – the oldest and biggest pagoda in Bangkok with more than 1000 Buddha statues and the huge sit-back Buddha in gold. This pagoda is also famous for being the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, since there is a traditional medicine school established in 1982, educating the arts of Thai massage.
We will board a boat to pay a visit along the Chao Phraya River, watching the life of local people close by.
On route, we stop at Wat Arun, known as the most beautiful pagoda in Bangkok not only for its location on the Chao Phraya’s riverbank but also for the different architecture from other pagodas. The pagoda was decorated with glass pieces and Chinese ceramic, in a complicated style.

Have breakfast then we'll transfer to pay a visit to some sites of Ayutthaya Historical Park by "Kermit" Tuktuk.
Ayutthaya Historical Park is situated in the old city of Ayutthaya. The city was constructed by Ramathibodi I in 1350 and was the capital of Thailand until it was destroyed by Burmese – Myanmar army in 1767.
Being a ruin with many temples that characterize this handicraft type of architecture built with red bricks, the park was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Wat Phu Khao Thong is a massive pagoda towering in the middle of paddy fields and can be seen from afar. Built by King Ramesuan in 1395, the pagoda is unique with the combination of 2 architectural styles: Thai–style and Mon–style. There is a high golden-plated chedi on the top, which makes the pagoda outstanding.
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet was the most important temple of Ayutthaya and situated within the Ayutthaya Grand Palace grounds. It served as a model for the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok. The highlight of Wat Phra Sri Sanphet is 3 towers standing high together in Ceylonese style, which has the same architecture as Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.
Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit is the pagoda in which the bronze Buddha statue in the attitude of subduing Mara is situated. This is one of the biggest Buddha statues in Thailand.
It was considered to be built during the Ayutthaya period of King Srongta, who transferred the location from the east side to the west and has been the location since then. After that, he ordered to build a dome on top.
Wat Lokaya Sutha is considered as a sacred place for pilgrims since it’s famous for the reclining Buddha statue, which is the statue of the Blessed Buddha intact compared to other monuments in the entire Ayutthaya ruins.
It is also the most important relics in most of Wat Lokaya Sutha. Thai people believe that if they paste the golden leaf onto Buddha statues, they will be protected by Buddha.
