Bangkok tours, the capital of the fabled Kingdom of Siam (modern day Thailand). A culture more than 1300 years old, its temples and palaces are a fantasy in store, a land with natural beauty and people whose ingenuous friendliness is a legend.
Boat Trip, Thonburi Klong, Wat Arun, Royal Barges
The tour begins by taking the long tail speedboat along the Chao Phya and its remote canals. As the canals are the primary mode of transportation for the locals and much of city's rural housing sits on the banks, it is here where life can be observed in its purest form.
Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha Temple, Wat Pho
These Majestic Buildings and the Emerald Buddha Temple are absolutely indescribable sights. There are so many things to see that you will feel overwhelm. Each building is done in a different style and covered with gold and mirrored and shiny stone mosaics.
Jim Thompson's House & Museum
Jim Thompson House is a somewhat Ideal Home in elegant Thai style, and a peaceful refuge from downtown chaos. The house was the residence of the legendary American adventurer, entrepreneur, art collector and all-round character whose mysterious disappearance in the jungles of Malaysia in 1967 has made him even more of a legend among Thailand's Foreigner Community.
Suan Pakkard Palace & Museum
Suan Pakkad Palace stands on what was once a cabbage patch but is now one finest garden in the city. The private collection of beautiful Thai objects from all periods is displayed in six traditional Thai Style Houses.
Prasart Museum
Prasart Museum is in a private house on the eastern edge of the city -this is an unusual open-air exhibition of traditional Asian buildings, collected and reassembled by wealthy entrepreneur and art lover Mr. Prasart.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
We arrive at the floating market and change from the long tail boat to a paddle boat to explore the main part of the market. The place was jammed with boats selling everything -- fruits, vegetables, hats, clothes and handicrafts.
Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-In
We travel in style and comfort to Ayutthaya, the capital of Thailand from 1379 until its destruction by the Burmese in 1767. The first stop is at Bang Pa-In, the summer palace.
Kanchanaburi and River Kwai Bridge
Kanchanaburi is very well known form the movie the "Bridge over the River Kwai". Kanchanaburi located 75 miles west of the captal city, and it is approximately two hours drive.
