What to expect

No trip to Thailand is complete without visiting one of the most iconic site, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho). The Buddha measures at 46 meters long (151 feet) and the site features a whopping 394 Buddhas that can be found spread out between four different chapels on-site.

Begin the tour at the temple's gate and you will be led through the tour with your app. Learn about the history of Wat Pho, which was believed to be founded during the 16th century and later served as The Royal Temple of King Rama I of Chakri Dynasty. Wat Pho is known as the "nation's first public university," thanks to 1,360 marble inscriptions about medical, historical, and liberal sciences places all around the temple. Learn more about the significance of its inscriptions and enjoy your time here.

Bangkok canals and flower market tour

If you're after a day in Bangkok that lets you sit back and see the city from a new perspective, without the hustle and bustle, then this is right up your street – or canal in this case.Your experienced guide will pick you up in an air-conditioned van, which will be your main mode of transport for the five-hour tour. You'll head to a pier and hop in a traditional long-tail boat – they're all the rage in Thailand – for a guided tour of part of the city's ancient canal network. Look up to take in Bangkok's skyscraper-filled skyline from the calm of the canal, and glide past intricate landmarks, like the ivory-coloured temple of Wat Arun.Then, it's time to get back on dry land as you head to one of the country's largest indoor flower markets. A carnival of colour greets you. Take a wander through the stalls and keep your camera handy for the more exotic blooms. Once you've had your fill of flowery scents and souvenir shopping, you'll return to your hotel.
