Itinerary:
- This morning be picked up from the hotel. Visit the Golden Buddha Temple (Wat Trimit) which houses the world's largest gold Buddha image, now more than 700 years old, and a valuable treasure of Thailand and Buddhism.
- Next you will visit Wat Pho Wat Phra Chetuphon (locally known as Wat Pho) which is famed for the massive ‘Reclining Buddha’ it houses. At 46m long and 15m high, the gold-plated Buddha image depicts the Buddha’s passing into Nirvana. A highly ornate spectacle - its genuinely worth seeing. The Buddha eyes and feet are decorated with mother-of-pearl and carvings in the feet depict the ‘108’ characteristics of Buddha.
- You will also visit the Marble temple Wat Benchamabophit, once the most modern work of Thai religious architecture. This temple is very famous for its main chapel built in white Italian marble.
- Next visit The Grand Palace (Wat Phra Kaew). The palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand. In the north of the royal residence and linked by a connecting gateway lies the royal monastery of the Emerald Buddha.
The Emerald Buddha is a face carved from a block of green jade and was first discovered in 1437 in a stupa in Chiang Rai. At that time the image was covered with plaster and thought to be an ordinary Buddha image
