The Grand Palace is a place everyone must visit at least once in their lifetime. The construction of the Grand Palace began in 1782 during the reign of King Rama I to become a royal residence, and it has been the utmost architectural symbol of Thailand ever since. The Grand Palace served as a significant royal residence until 1925 and is now used for ceremonial purposes only.
After this you will enjoy lunch at a local Thai restaurant before proceed to enjoy a long-tail boat trip on the river and into the canal system on the Thonburi side. Thonburi is Bangkok's little-known alter ego. Few people cross the Chao Phraya to see this side of the city, and if they do it is usually only to catch a glimpse from the seat of a speeding hang yaaw (long-tailed boat).
Your final stop will be the famous Wat Pho. Wat Pho, The temple is first on the list of six temples in Thailand classed as the highest grade of the first-class royal temples. The temple complex houses the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand, including the 46m long reclining Buddha. The temple was also the earliest centre for public education in Thailand, and still houses a school of Thai medicine. It is known as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage which is still taught and practiced at the temple.
