What to expect
Your guide collects you and navigates the Bangkok traffic to each temple in turn. Expect to spend roughly 45 minutes at each major site—enough time to walk the grounds, absorb the atmosphere, and ask questions without dawdling. The Grand Palace requires respectful dress (covered shoulders and knees); your guide will advise beforehand. Between temples, you'll travel through the city's busy streets, catching glimpses of everyday Bangkok. Bottled water is provided to keep you hydrated in the heat.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and loose, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees. Bring sunscreen and a hat. Avoid scheduling on major Buddhist holidays when temples may be crowded. Public transport is available nearby if you prefer independent exploration.
