TOUR DESCRIPTION

Day 1 - Bangkok
This tour is a great way to begin your exploration of Bangkok with a visit to this mega cities true heart and center! On this day trip, we will collect you from your Bangkok hotel and take you to our first destination of the day which is Bangkok's most important palace and temple complex 'The Grand Palace'. The Grand Palace was built as a royal residence and over the years many additions have been made including the stunning Wat Prah Kaew which houses the Emerald Buddha carved out of a single piece of Jade! After the Grand Palace, we proceed to Wat Po famous for its Thai massage school and its giant reclining Buddha. We will stop for lunch before heading to the mighty Chao Phraya river where we will board a long tail boat for a ride along the Chao Phraya. From this great vantage point, you will be right amongst river life and see Bangkok from a different perspective. We will soon leave the main river for the backwater canals in Thonburi where you will see a more sedate and traditional way of living as we make our way up and down narrow canals a long way from the hectic pace and traffic of usual Bangkok life. After disembarking the long tail boat we will take a cross-river ferry to Wat Arun one of Bangkok's most iconic temples. You will be able to get close up and climb partway up the Pagoda to get a panoramic view over the Chao Phraya. For our last destination, we will take you to see the solid gold Buddha at Wat Traimit. At the end of the day, we will transfer you back to your Bangkok hotel.

Before Damnoen Saduak we will make a short stop at a wonderful little Home industry producing palm sugar. You can see the sugar being made as well as try some of the sweet candy produced from the palm sugar. At Damnoen Saduak you well board a privately chartered motorboat where we will travel some of the canals on the way to the market and you can get a glimpse of real canal-side life. we will disembark the boat at the market and you will then be free to explore the market, you can wander up and down the canals flagging down boats and vendors as you please, or take the paddle boat option where you can really get amongst the action on the canals. Following the morning's activities at the train and floating markets, we will make our way to the river where we will board a boat that will take us through a local fishing community out into the estuary to visit the mangroves swamps. The mangroves are home to a troop of macaque monkeys, many will come swimming out to the boat in the hope of being fed a banana or two! The boat will continue out into the river estuary and then out into the sea. Our day will finish when we transfer you to your Bangkok hotel.
