Day 2: BANGKOK Full day tour (by A/C car) Thailand has over 26,000 ‘Wats’ or Temples. This tour brings you to the 3 most famous temples in Bangkok. Wat Traimit (‘Temple of the Golden Buddha’) boasts a statue of Buddha which is made from solid gold. It weighs 5.5 tons and is a fine example of Sukhothai art. Passing through Chinatown your next stop is Wat Po (‘Temple of the Reclining Buddha’) which is the largest and oldest temple in Bangkok, a great place also for a traditional Thai massage. It is also the seat of Traditional herbal medicine School, being referred to as "Thailand First Medical university" www.watpho.com. After lunch, continue visit to the The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha) - Together, these two sites form what many consider the greatest spectacle for visitors to Bangkok. Dating back to 1782 (when Bangkok was founded), the entire compound consists of over 100 brightly colored buildings, golden spires and glittering mosaics. Because of its popularity, this destination is often extremely crowded, but still an essential part of any trip to Bangkok. Presently, the Grand Palace is used for the occasional ceremony and is no longer the royal home (the present King Bhumibol lives in Chitralada Palace, located in Bangkok's nearby Dusit district). The interiors of most of the buildings in the Grand Palace are closed to the public. Wat Phra Kaew adjoins the Grand Palace in a common compound and is the home of the country's most famous Buddha statue (also known as the Emerald Buddha). This important figure has a long and interesting history that is tied to the royal family and once resided in nearby Wat Arun. It is relatively small (about 66 centimeters) and is situated in a high position in the Wat to signify its important status in the Thai kingdom. Rest of day, free to walk at your pace, "City of Angels" and discover the charms of one of the oldest cities of Southeast Asia. Take the opportunity to stroll around Sanam Luang, the royal park and venue of many religious events, could also enjoy a relaxing traditional Thai massage (to be advised on spot) or watch the gorgeous sunset behind the Temple of Dawn, near the Chao Phraya river. Return to your hotel and free at leisure for your own activities. Overnight in Bangkok. (B) Day 3: BANGKOK Full day tour (by A/C car, boat) This morning, continue visit to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market - Located at Ratchaburi Province. The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market dates back to 1866 when King Rama IV ordered that a canal 32 kilometers long be dug at Damnoen Saduak to connect the Mae Klong and Tacheen Rivers (his reason for doing so lies in the fact that the quality of the soil on the banks of the canal is excellent for growing many kinds of fruits and vegetables including Malacca grape, Chinese grapefruit, mangos, bananas, and coconuts). The Floating Market is an ideal place for tourists to see the old style and traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables and other from small boats. Tourists will also be able to see traditional Thai houses and the way locals use boats in their everyday lives. In the afternoon, continue visit to the Rose Garden & The Thai Village Cultural Show - This is a wonderful opportunity to witness the unique and unforgettable experience of the world-renowned Thai Village Cultural Show. Each day, over 100 performers vividly portray a fascinating cross section of Thailand’s culture, heritage and way of life. The 60 minute, action-packed show also is highlighted by exciting displays of Thai marital arts, Thai boxing and sword fighting-combat skills, some of which date back over 600 years. Also featured are romantic and joyful rituals of the traditional Thai wedding ceremony, the rich pageantry of Buat Naag (the ceremony of ordination into the Buddhist monk hood). Lively tribal dancers entertain the crowds with the rhythmic Bamboo Dance, the graceful Fingernail Dance from the North, the Kala Dance from the South and the joyful Yoev Dance from the Central Plains.
