Tour description
Discover the spiritual and royal heart of Thailand on this free walking tour of Bangkok's old city (Rattanakosin). With a local guide you'll take in the dazzling spires of the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha temple, reach the giant Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, and enjoy river views toward the elegant Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun). Wander old lanes, amulet markets and flower stalls, hear stories of kings, monks and Thai traditions, and pick up insider tips on pad thai, mango sticky rice and the best street food. Free to join — simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth at the end. Note: temple interiors need a ticket and a dress code; this tour explores the grounds and surroundings.
