International Arrival

Bangkok

2 Days

Bangkok is a quintessential blend of old and new! Meaning the city of angels, Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand – and is its largest metropolis.

Included Activities

Bangkok City Safari with Lunch
Bounce into the cultural delights of Bangkok. Experience the local transport, including a scenic ride on the elevated skytrain, and a public boat trip on the Chao Phraya River that takes you past precariously balanced local stiltments. Disembark at the flower market and you will be charmed by the exotic flora on display. Afterwards, a short tuk tuk ride will take you to the Grand Palace, which includes Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha), and a leading massage school, where you can observe the Buddhist monks at prayer. Break for lunch at a local restaurant where delicious Thai delicacies are served up. Afterwards, it’s time for a leisurely longtail boat ride through Bangkok’s famous ‘klongs’, or waterways, past charming and quaint local stiltments. As the sun starts to dip in the distance, stop at Wat Arun which is famous for its distinctive architectural style and gorgeous views of the Chao Phraya River. In the late afternoon, return to your boat and journey back to your hotel. (Full Day; Private Activity & Public Transport; Meal included: Lunch; Fitness level: Easy. Please note that shorts, miniskirts, tights, sleeveless shirts, vests & sandals are not allowed inside temples and palaces. Kindly note that this activity can only be enjoyed with an early morning start.)

Enroute Activity – Railway Bazaar & Damnoen Saduak Floating Market Visit
On the way to Kanchanaburi, discover bustling local markets and the lush countryside. Just an hour away from the towering skyscrapers lie verdant landscapes and traditional wooden homes of the native Thai people. At the local railway station, stop to witness a thriving market that has sprung up right along the railway tracks! You will be amazed at how quickly the vendors dismantle their shops at the arrival of a train, and set it up again afterwards! Travel onward to the vibrant Damnoen Saduak floating market, to guzzle up the vibrant and bustling activity of vendors, buyers and other visitors. This is where you will witness firsthand the iconic image of Thai women wearing bamboo hats, as they paddle past on small boats laden with colorful fruits and vegetables. For a more authentic experience, hop aboard your own rowing boat and float gracefully through the buzzing maze of canals. If you wish to buy any of the fresh produce or other items for sale then you can become part of the action and put your bargaining skills to the test. A visit is more fun in the morning before the heat of the sun kicks in, and the market closes at just after noon.
