What to experience

Within the Grand Palace you will find the Wat Phra Kaew palace, which is the most holy place in Thailand.

Wat Arun: also known as the Sunset Temple, is an extremely beautiful temple located by the edge of the river Chao Phraya. It is carefully decorated with different mosaic tiles and colored glass. At the top of the temple, you will get an amazing view of the river.

Wat Pho: this mighty temple is home of a giant Buddha with a length of 46 meters and a height of 15 meters. The Buddha is covered by gold leaves and it is known as the biggest Buddha in Thailand. Wat Pho is also known for being the first public university in Thailand, and where Thai massage was invented.

Street Markets: if you want a true authentic feel of the city, you have to visit the street markets and street kitchens. It might look a little dingy, but do not be fooled by that! Eating food from a street kitchen is one of the most authentic experiences you will get here.

Lumphini Park: if you want to get away from the big crowds of people and loud noise, this park is the perfect place for you to visit. The park is an oasis in the middle of the big city, and it is very popular amongst the locals.
