Description
Escape the crowded tour buses and discover the charming, historical side of West Bangkok (Thonburi) in the comfort of a private SUV.
Your journey begins with a smooth pickup right from your hotel lobby. Sit back and relax as your knowledgeable guide introduces you to the rich history of Bangkok while navigating toward your first destination: Wat Pradu Chimphli. Tucked away along the canal side, this peaceful Ayutthaya-era temple holds profound spiritual value in Thailand, famously associated with the highly revered monk, Luang Pu Toh. Stroll through the quiet temple grounds and learn about local Buddhist traditions away from mass tourist crowds.
Next, take a short drive to the iconic Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, home to the majestic Great Buddha of Bangkok. Towering at 69 meters (equivalent to a 20-story building), this golden bronze statue is the largest of its kind in the city. Walk around the plaza to admire its grand scale, and step inside the breathtaking Maharatchamongkol Stupa. Ascend to the top floor to behold the magical green glass pagoda, beautifully illuminated under an intricately painted celestial ceiling depicting the Buddhist cosmos.
After your canal adventure, your private SUV will be waiting to take you to your preferred final stop. Choose to be safely dropped off back at your hotel, or end your tour at ICONSIAM, Bangkok’s legendary riverfront mall, where you can explore the indoor floating market (SookSiam), sample local street food, or enjoy high-end shopping along the Chao Phraya River.
