Highlights

  • Dress in full Thai costume with professional hair and makeup
  • Explore Wat Arun with a private local English-speaking guide

Description

Meet your guide at Tha Tien Pier, right across the water from Wat Arun. Take a short ferry ride to the temple's riverbank, where professional stylists take over: hair, makeup, accessories, and a costume fitted for you. Twenty minutes later, you're ready.

Then it's temple time. Your English-speaking guide walks you around the central prang and its porcelain-studded towers, sharing the stories behind the temple and pointing out the best spots for photos.

Book the photographer package and a professional photographer joins you to capture the moments as you explore, no selfie-stick juggling required.

Pick your light. The Early Bird slot starts at 8:00 AM, when the temple grounds are calmer and the air is cooler. The Golden Hour slot starts at 3:30 PM, when warm late-afternoon sun softens the white spires. Either way, the tour wraps up back at Tha Tien Pier, close to Wat Pho and the Grand Palace if you want to keep exploring.
