Bangkok Walk & Wish, Small Group Tour

After landing at Bangkok International Airport, a tour representative will meet and greet you before guiding you to the transfer to your hotel. Then spend the rest of this first day at leisure, becoming acquainted with the vibrant city of Bangkok. Perhaps you could indulge yourself with a traditional Thai Massage, surprise your taste buds with the local flavours and cap off the day by enjoying the sunset from any of the stylish rooftop bars which have blossomed in the city’s skyscrapers in recent years… the options are limitless. 

Overnight in Bangkok.

After breakfast, get ready for a half-day Phra Nakorn walking tour. First visit Wat Ratchanatdaram, the temple most popular for Loha Prasat the brazen palace, which is a multi-tiered 36-metre high structure. It is one of only three brazen palaces that still exist in the world.  Then a short walk to Golden Mount, which is located in the compound of Wat Saket. Built by King Rama IV, the Golden Chedi can be reached by a 344-step spiral stairway. While on top, you'll have a wide view of the older part of Bangkok. Next visit Baan Bat, one of the last villages established in the 18th century by King Rama I to create the monk bowls. Continue to the Giant Swing in Sao Ching Cha located outside Wat Suthat. It has references to the Hindu religion which came to Thailand about 1,500 years ago. Next, walk into Wat Suthat, one of the most important and one of the oldest temples of the Rattanakosin era in Bangkok. It is one of the six temples in Thailand as the highest grade of Royal Temples. Enjoy a short coffee break before visiting Tiger God Shrine “Sarn Chao Por Seua”, dedicated to the spirit of a tiger who once lived in the jungle surrounding this area. The shrine is very active and festivals, operas and puppet shows are held here all year round. Next, walk to Ratchadamnoen Klang Road and transfer back to your hotel.

Today after breakfast prepare for a half-day Seven Wishes tour. You will be picked up from the hotel and transferred to the front of Gaysorn Amarin where you will meet your Seven Wishes tour guide. Seven enchanting deities with roots linked to ancient Hindu tradition are located within walking distance in the area, sitting alongside the shopping malls and hotels. We invite you to share in the worship of these deities, make your own wish and light your own candle. After a short introduction you will start the tour. Next to each shrine you will find local sellers, where you can buy the appropriate offerings for each God in various sizes. Our guide will tell you about the history and myths of each deity, the divine symbols and how to worship properly. Visit amongst others – Lord Indra, recognized as the god who takes care of all humankind, the Erawan shrine and Phra Phrom, famous for bringing good fortune, and the Elephant God Ganesh, who promotes creativity and protection from harm. As with temples, for visiting shrines, it is recommended to dress appropriately and to wear shirts with sleeves, avoid shorts, vest tops and open toe sandals.
