Tour description
Discover the spiritual and royal heart of Thailand on a free walking tour around Bangkok's Old Town (Rattanakosin). Accompanied by a local guide, admire the shimmering spires of the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, visit the giant Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, and take in riverside views toward the graceful Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun). Stroll through historic alleys, amulet markets, and fresh flower stalls, listen to stories of kings, monks, and Thai traditions, and pick up insider food tips on the best pad thai, mango sticky rice, and street food. Free to join — simply tip your guide based on your satisfaction at the end of the tour.
