What to expect

If there's one thing you must see while in Bangkok, it's the architectural masterpiece known as the Royal Grand Palace. This half-day group tour with skip-the-line admission sees you exploring almost every corner of the palace complex with a guide and soaking up royal history, including the Wat Phra Kaew – the temple that houses the revered Emerald Buddha.

Until 1925, the palace was the official royal residence for the Kings of Siam and their governments. And as you tread past its collection of pavilions and golden spires, you'll be transported back in time. You'll also visit the elaborately decorated Royal Chapel – or Wat Phra Kaew – and see the Emerald Buddha, carved from a solid piece of jade.

You'll have plenty of time to admire the palace's ornate architecture, whose intricacy and richness never fails to impress. To round off the tour, you'll head to a lapidary factory to browse handicrafts, jewellery and silk products.

Then, it's onward to the second temple of the day – Wat Pho. It is known as the temple of the Reclining Buddha because of its large statues, which at an 46 metres in length and 15 metres in height, is the largest in the city.The day's final temple is Wat Benchamabophit – the ‘Temple of the Fifth King' – which is famed for its intricate Italian marble detail.

Thailand is famous for its markets and street food. But the two you'll visit on this excursion really stand out from the crowd. The Amphawa floating market and the Maeklong Railway market have to be experienced to be believed.

You won't believe your eyes when you see vendors and shoppers hop off the tracks and close their awnings as soon as the train signal blows.Then it's over to Amphawa floating market, where you'll see floating stalls packed with all kinds of Thai food and drinks, especially seafood. It's a bit more off the tourist radar than some of the other markets, so expect to be mingling with locals.
