Grand Palace Tour



You simply cannot visit Bangkok without viewing the Grand Palace complex and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, unquestionably one of the wonders of the world today.

The Grand Palace complex is unquestionably a ‘must see’ for all visitors to Bangkok. A mixture of traditional Thai architecture with European influences, the Grand Palace was once the official home of the King of Siam and the regal flavour is still evident in the state rooms and grounds. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the Royal Funerary Hall and the Royal Coronation Hall.

However, the undoubted highlight of the Grand Palace complex is Wat Phra Keow or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. A wonderful collection of pagodas, stupas, frescos and mosaics under arching roofs of red and gold, the temple houses a 45 centimetre Emerald Buddha.

Carved from a single piece of Jade, the Buddha is one of the holiest and most revered religious objects in modern day Thailand.

Bangkok City & Temples Tour



A wonderful introduction to the city of Bangkok, enjoy a tour of her most recognised and breathtaking Buddhist temples including the incredible reclining Buddha.

Around 95% of Thais follow the Buddhist way of life and as a result over 26,000 temples can be found within Thailand's borders. This charming half day tour introduces you to three of the most distinguished temples in Bangkok. Locally referred to as ‘Wats’ these buildings are beautiful examples of Thai architecture and are well worth a visit.

After a pick-up from your hotel, head through the bustling Bangkok streets to Wat Trimit, also known as the Temple of the Golden Buddha. Here you will find a three metre Golden Buddha statue, crafted from solid gold and weighing five and half tons. Now more than seven hundred years old the statue was originally covered in plaster to conceal it from the then invading enemy and was only discovered by chance from a layer of stucco during construction of the temple. **

The tour then takes you through Chinatown on your way to Wat Pho, more commonly known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. The temple dates from the seventeenth century and houses the largest Buddha in Bangkok. In addition to the fine features of the Buddha's face, also take a few minutes to inspect the soles of the Buddha's feet which lie an incredible 45 meters away from the head and have been inlaid with mother-of-pearl to display the 108 auspicious signs which distinguish a true Buddha.

The last temple on the itinerary is Wat Benchamabophit or the Marble Temple. A fine example of Thai craftsmanship, this magnificent monastery was built out of white Italian marble from Carrara in the late 19th century and is world renowned for its stunning architecture and decorative art.

Damnern Saduak Floating Market from Bangkok



One of the most popular Bangkok experiences, enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market where you will find hundreds of Thai style canoes laden with fruits, vegetables, sweets and meats.

High on the list of most visitors ‘things to do’ Damnern Saduak Floating market is a truly colourful experience. Situated 60 miles from Bangkok, the seemingly chaotic canals or 'khlongs' are filled with flat boats piled high with fresh produce, each jockeying for position and paddled by ladies ready to stop and bargain at a moment's notice.

Your journey to the market includes an exciting long tail speed-boat ride through the marshes, past traditional stilt houses and scenes that have changed little over the centuries. As you speed across the water, your experienced English-speaking guide will provide a colourful overview of the market and what to expect when you arrive.

There is plenty of free time to explore the market and your guide will be happy to arrange a local boat ride through the markets (optional extra) should you wish to get closer to the vendors.

Batu Caves & Temple Tour



No trip to Kuala Lumpur would be complete without visiting the spectacular Batu Caves. Set in a limestone outcrop, the cavernous interior is home to one of the most popular and sacred Hindu shrines outside of India and is reached by 272 steps.

Malaysia is multi-racial and multi-religion. This tour covers two unique and attractive places of worship. First is spectacular Thean Hou Chinese Temple. This striking, 6-tier temple is dedicated to the Goddess Tian Hou (the Heavenly Mother) and features elements of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The temple design is a successful blend of modern and traditional architecture. Afterwards continue to the magnificent Batu Caves.

Rising almost 100m above the ground and reached by 272 steps, the Batu Caves actually consists of three main caves and a few smaller ones. The biggest, referred to as the Temple or Cathedral Cave, has a 100 metre high ceiling, and features ornate Hindu shrines. Below the Temple Cave is the Dark Cave, a two-kilometre network of relatively untouched caverns with amazing rock formations. Stalactites jutting from the cave's ceiling and stalagmites rising from the floor form intricate formations such as cave curtains, flow stones, cave pearls and scallops which took thousands of years to form. The third main cave is the Art Gallery Cave located at the foot of the steps. Statues and wall paintings depicting Hindu deities and mythology are displayed here. The walk to the entrance is itself quite a pleasant experience past lakes and ponds filled with hundreds of colourful fish.

On the way back, visit a local Batik centre to see how the Batik being designed and made. The tour ends with a demonstration of fine jewellery-making by OE Design, near KLCC.
