Description

During this 3-hour tour (starting every day at 15:30 hrs), you’ll visit the Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) with an expert English-speaking tour guide. Your tour begins at Wat Pho – famous for the huge Reclining Buddha statue it houses. At 20 acres, it is the largest temple in Bangkok, and technically the oldest too as it was built around 200 years before Bangkok became Thailand’s capital. The highly impressive reclining Buddha is 46 meters long and 15 meters high and illustrates the passing of the Buddha into nirvana. The large grounds of Wat Pho contain more than 1000 Buddha images in total, most from the ruins of the former capitals of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai. We then walk to the Tha Tien pier, where we’ll take a ferry to the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya river. Here you’ll find one of the most outstanding temples of Thailand, named after the Indian god of Dawn Aruna: Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). The imposing prang (spire) of Wat Arun is one of Bangkok’s world-famous landmarks. It is over 70 meters high and represents Mount Meru, home of the gods.
