Siam Arun Sunrise Tour

Join us on an unforgettable adventure through the vibrant markets and serene temples of Bangkok, where every moment is steeped in rich tradition and local charm.

Our journey begins with a delightful stop for a local street-side breakfast, where the aroma of freshly cooked dishes fills the air. Here, you’ll witness the beautiful morning ritual as local residents offer food donations to saffron-robed monks, a practice that embodies the spirit of giving and community in Thai culture.

Next, we’ll board a local ferry to cross the iconic River of Kings, heading towards the ancient capital of Thailand. As we glide across the water, take in the stunning views of the city skyline. Our first destination is Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, where the magnificent central grand pagoda has stood as a symbol of Bangkok since its early days. Stroll through the tranquil grounds and the ornate ordination hall, as we delve into the fascinating stories and cultural significance behind this architectural marvel.

After soaking in the beauty of Wat Arun, we’ll make our way back across the river, immersing ourselves in the lively atmosphere of the historical dried seafood market. Here, you’ll have the chance to mingle with locals, experiencing the hustle and bustle of local life as vendors showcase their colourful wares.

Our next stop is Wat Pho, the oldest and one of the largest temple complexes in Bangkok. As we wander through the serene temple grounds, you’ll feel an almost mystical aura enveloping you. Prepare to be spellbound by the sight of the impressive golden Reclining Buddha, a true masterpiece that captures the essence of Thai artistry and spirituality.

For a unique experience, we’ll take a small detour into the monks’ living quarters. As we stroll quietly through this peaceful space, you may catch a glimpse of the monks’ daily lives, offering a rare insight into their tranquil existence.

Our journey concludes at the vibrant flower and vegetable markets, where the air is filled with the intoxicating scents of fresh blooms and produce.
