What to expect

Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of the Dawn, is one of the most stunning religious structures in the world.

You will start at the entrance, where you can explore the main cloister of the temple complex which has more than 100 Buddha images. There's also a flight of stairs that leads up to the chamber where a copy of Buddha's footprint is carved in stone and decorated with porcelain.

Wat Arun was envisioned by King Taksin in 1768. It's believed that after fighting his way out of Ayutthaya, which was taken over by a Burmese army at the time, he arrived at this temple just as dawn was breaking. He later had the temple renovated and renamed it the Temple of the Dawn.

To end the tour, you'll continue walking along the set route shown in the app and explore the grounds, including other temples, statues, and sacred footprints of the Buddha.

Bangkok Canals and Flower Market

Thailand's markets come in all shapes and sizes – and this full-day tour dives right into the action. First up is Ladplee, Thailand's first floating market, and the oldest one around. It's for the history and the hypes, and trust us, it delivers. Picture colourful canoes drifting by, piled high with fresh fruit, snacks, and local goodies – perfect for snapping those Insta-worthy shots. Next, you'll cruise through Bangkok's canals to the lively Damnoen Floating Market, where the energy is just as electric. Then, it's off to Wat Bang Kung, an ancient temple that looks like it's been plucked straight from a movie set, completely enveloped by jungle vines. After a tasty seafood lunch, you'll have time to wave at the cheeky monkeys when you stop by the Mangrove Conservation Centre. And, for the grand finale, we'll hit the Maeklong Railway Market—where stalls are literally set up on the train tracks. Sounds wild, right? Just wait until you see them clear out in the nick of time as the train rolls through, then everything goes right back to business. This is one Thai adventure you won't want to miss.
