On this privately guided half-day tour you will visit three of the most famous wat's in Bangkok - Wat traimit, Wat Pho and Wat benchamabophit. A Wat is a Buddhist building where both men and women can be ordained as monks or nuns.
Wat traimit is also known as the temple of the Golden buddha. The 3 meter tall statue is made from solid gold and weighs 5.5 tons and is a fine example of Sukhothai style art.
You will then pass through Chinatown on your way to Wat Pho, the temple of the Reclining buddha. At 46 meters in length and 15 meters high the Buddha is the largest in Bangkok and illustrates the passing of the Buddha into nirvana.
Your last tour stop is at Wat benchamabophit, or the marble temple. This magnificent monastery was built out of white Italian marble from Carrara in the late 19th century.
Your tour will conclude at the Gems Gallery.
