  • Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)
    The Emerald Buddha, located inside Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha), is one of Thailand’s most sacred treasures. Carved from a single piece of jade, this small yet powerful statue holds great spiritual meaning. It’s not only a symbol of Thai Buddhism but also a proud emblem of the nation’s royal and cultural heritage.

  • Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)
    12:30 PM / 5:30 PM - End your journey at the majestic Wat Arun — the Temple of Dawn. Its towering spires are especially stunning up close. You can choose to keep exploring on your own or head back with a hotel drop-off, if selected.

Bottoms: Long skirts or trousers are ideal. If you wear a dress or skirt, ensure it extends below the knees. Shoes: As with men, shoes will often need to be removed before entering temple buildings.
