|
Explore Bangkok’s oldest Buddhist temple and marvel at the Grand Palace, an architectural wonder
| Overview | |
|
Buddha is synonymous with the city of Bangkok, and a sightseeing tour of the city cannot be complete without a visit to the magnificent Buddhist temples.They are an integral part of Thai culture and are a distinct feature of this modern metropolis. Discover the most famous temples of Bangkok: Wat Trimitr, with its 900-year old solid gold Buddha weighing five and a half tons; Bangkok's oldest and largest temple Wat Po, with its huge reclining Buddha and traditional massage school. Wat Pho is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. Earlier, the site was a center of education for traditional Thai medicine, and statues were created showing yoga positions. The spectacular Grand Palace is the city's most famous landmark, and continues to enthrall visitors with its beautiful architecture and intricate detail. Once the royal residence of Thailand’s kings, today the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom. Within the palace complex are several impressive buildings including Wat Phra Kaew or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which contains the small, very famous and greatly revered Emerald Buddha that dates back to the 14th century. Explore the myriad hues of this Thai capital and learn more about its rich Buddhist tradition on this sightseeing tour of the city.
