About this activity

Explore three of Bangkok's most iconic temples—Wat Triimit (Golden Temple), Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha), and Wat Benchamabophit (Marble Temple)—in a single 3-hour guided tour that reveals the spiritual and architectural heritage of Thailand's capital. This combination tour balances cultural immersion with convenience, finishing at a world-renowned gems centre with refreshments and optional shopping.

'Bangkok' is the English version for the Kingdom of Thailand's capital city. Thais know it by its abbreviated name, 'Krung Thep'. The full name happens to give it the distinction of being the city with the longest name in the world! Discover the Bangkok of today and yesterday in this three hour city tour which takes you to three of the most distinguished temples in the city, The Golden Temple, The Temple of the Reclining Buddha and The Marble Temple.

This tour concludes at Gems Gallery International. Gems Gallery is the largest gems store in the world. Also at Gems Gallery is a factory, a theatre, a restaurant/lounge plus more. Every visitor to Gems Gallery receives a complimentary soft drink in air-conditioned comfort. You can leave straight away or stay here for hours, the choice is yours. Upon request, a complimentary transfer back to your hotel will be arranged.
