Thai Boxing in the Northern Rice Fields

Morning departure to reach the pier and take public boat-buses heading towards the city center, on the right bank and the Pak Khlong Talat flower market district.

You set off to discover the architectural gems of Bangkok. Marvel at the splendor of the Grand Palace of Bangkok, built in 1782: a sumptuous complex of buildings and inner courtyards, including Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha). You discover the famous Emerald Buddha, a precious statue dating from the 14th century, at the heart of one of the country's most revered sanctuaries.

Then, on foot, you reach Wat Pho, one of Bangkok's oldest temples, renowned for its peaceful atmosphere and elegant pavilions. You discover the impressive Reclining Buddha, an iconic figure of the place, as well as the inner courtyards punctuated by stupas and refined decorative details.

Next, you cross the river by small boat to reach Wat Arun, the famous "Temple of Dawn", standing on the right bank. Upon arrival, you admire its spectacular central prang, finely decorated with porcelain mosaics and floral patterns that glisten in the light.

Ride aboard a private traditional "long-tail" boat-taxi on the Chao Praya River, one of the country's most important waterways and a vital artery of Bangkok. As you travel along the water, you discover the "Venice of the Orient", with peaceful klongs, stilt houses and small temples hidden along the banks.
