Bangkok Highlights Tour In 5 Days

On the second day of the Bangkok 5 days tour, our guide will pick you up in the morning to visit the Museum of Floral Culture. This is one of the most famous museums in Bangkok. Created by world-renowned Thai flower arrangement artist Sakul Intakul, the museum is a place to honor the unique artworks and flower culture of Thailand. This museum is a 100-year-old mansion located in a quiet neighborhood that is itself a work of art, with a lovely teak design and a zen-style garden. At the end of the tour, you can stop at an attached tea shop, where you can enjoy tea and sweets.

After that, you will visit Chatuchak Weekend Market, the largest market in Thailand. Here you can indulge in some shopping, find unique gifts and souvenirs, and try some delicious and unique local food at one of the many food stalls. After you’ve enjoyed all the market offers, your driver will take you back to your hotel to rest and regroup. In the evening, you’ll be taken to the Siam Niramit Show, a show with a magical mix of music and dance that celebrates the country’s history and culture. This is one of favorite activities in this 5-day Bangkok tour.

If you’re a history buff, the tour of Thailand’s famous temples and palaces on the 3rd day is a must. You’ll start with a visit to the Summer Palace, commonly referred to by Thais as the name Bang Pa-In. This is one of the few palaces in Thailand recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Here you’ll discover this impressive mix of East and West architecture dating back to the 17th century and the magnificent ruins of Ayutthaya, recalling the city’s early glory. In addition, you will have the opportunity to stroll the grounds of this monument, including Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, where you can see the giant reclining Buddha statue built of brick and mortar.

On the next day of your Bangkok 5 days tour, you’ll visit the 17th-century temple of Wat Pho. Experience the monk’s early morning chanting ceremony and see the 147-foot (45-foot) Reclining Buddha. Continue your trip to the Royal Palace, an impressive complex built in 1782 by Thai King Rama I. You’ll get to see and learn first-hand about the palaces used for other occasions such as the Funeral Palace, the Reception Palace, the Throne Hall, the Coronation Hall, the Royal Guest House, and most especially the mysterious Emerald Buddha, the most revered Buddha image in Thailand. Besides, the costume requirements at the Palace are very strict, so you should choose the right outfit.

After lunch at a nearby riverside restaurant, it’s time for a canal boat tour or khlongs. Dubbed the “Venice of the East”, these canals will show you a more traditional side of Bangkok with its old wooden townhouses, unbelievable floating kitchens, charming and sparkling temples, and a more simple way of life. The long-tail boat tour will end with a visit to Wat Arun, a famous Buddhist temple located on the Chao Phraya River, which is a must-see when you have the opportunity to travel by boat.

The 4th day closes with a visit to the Jim Thompson House Museum. Built-in 1959, the museum is the former home of American businessman and collector Jim Thompson. He is known as the “Father of Thai Silk”. The guide will help you discover and understand more about his huge collection of fascinating artifacts, not only from Thailand but also popular in other countries in the SEA, such as Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia.

On the last day of the Bangkok 5 days tour, you can go sightseeing in the city center and save memorable pictures. Your driver will take you to the airport for your departing flight. End of Thailand tour with safe travels home or to your next destination!
