What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Golden Mount (Wat Saket), 344 Chakkraphat Diphong Road Bang Bat, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok 10100 Thailand
One of the most important religious pilgrimage sights in Thailand is Wat Saket, translating as the Golden Mountain. This hillside temple features a gleaming gold chedi that is thought to contain a relic from the Buddha himself. It can be traced back to the Ayutthaya period meaning it could be up to 800 years old!
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Wat Phra Chetuphon, 2 Sanamchai Road Grand Palace Subdistrict, Pranakorn District, Bangkok 10200 Thailand
Otherwise known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, this is one of the largest and most impressive temple sights in Bangkok. We’ll marvel at the 46-metre Buddha statue made entirely of gold leaf before exploring the attractive grounds. An endless sea of mosaic stupas make Wat Pho quite unlike other temples in the capital – little wonder it’s a UNESCO-protected site.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun), 158 Thanon Wang Doem, Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok 10600 Thailand
Named the number 1 landmark in Thailand on TripAdvisor, there’s no excuse for missing Wat Arun. This religious complex, also called the Temple of Dawn, is known for its dreamy white spires that can be seen for miles around. The best way to reach it is by hopping on a riverboat from Wat Pho, giving you the chance to soak up the scenery as we travel between the two.
Duration: 1 hour

Our tour of the temples was a private tour, not a small group. Our guide was Kanchana Thongbai, nicknamed “Tar”. My wife and I have traveled to more than 60 countries, and have used guides in many of them. Most of them know their country facts and most know how to show you around. So our expectation was we would have a nice tour. But Tar is not just any guide. Tar was as much the experience as the temples themselves were. Her energy, knowledge and guiding skills were super great, but what set her aside from almost every other tour we have been on was her deep seated interest in finding out what her clients were interested in. Trip Guru is just another tour company, one among many. But the reason to go with this company is for this guide: so if you want the experience we had, you have to ask for her.Wat Arun is almost directly opposite Wat Pho, so it’s very easy to get to. From Saphan Taksin boat pier you can take a riverboat that stops at Pier 8. From here, a small shuttle boat takes you from one side of the river to the other.
