After breakfast, the guide meets the guests and takes them to the Harbor on the Chao Phraya River to embark on a boat and explore the traditional Thai klongs (canals) and see the still-active waterborne life of the Nonthaburi residents.  The tour continues with a visit to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, one of the most well-known sites in Bangkok. It is best seen from the opposite side of the river. 

Next, explore the Grand Palace, located on the bank of the Chao Phraya River, which has been the official residence of the King of Siam since 1782. It is made up of numerous buildings, halls, and pavilions set around open lawns, gardens, and courtyards. Inside the grounds, they visit Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha – the most beautiful and sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. 

The day concludes with a visit to Wat Pho, the temple of the reclining Buddha. The temple has a long list of credits: The oldest and largest temple in Bangkok, the longest reclining Buddha, the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand, and the first public education institution.

At the Damnoen floating market, guests will be impressed by various boats with different shapes and sizes used by locals to carry their goods. Board a long-tail boat and glide through narrow canals where vendors in small wooden boats sell fruits, vegetables, and local snacks. 

In the afternoon, the group continues to Sampran Riverside, a countryside resort once known as the Rose Garden. Here, they walk through a Thai village and enjoy a cultural show that features traditional music, folk dances, as well as a chance to see an Elephant show.
