What to expect

Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will function as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map all in one. You can choose between two options:

  • Option 1: Grand Palace Bangkok self-guided audio tour with Emerald Buddha
  • Option 2: Bangkok's top 4: Grand Palace and Wats audio tour bundle

Your tour begins at the Grand Palace gates, in the heart of bustling Bangkok. One of the first things you'll see on your route is the famous Emerald Buddha. This incredible statue is perhaps the most well known of the Palace's many wonders, and for good reason. There's plenty of history (and mystery) behind this statue, all of which you'll soon uncover!

Next, you'll see other intricate statues, including one depicting a terrifying demon that holds an important place in Thai legends. Then you'll follow a route through the rest of the Palace, taking in sights such as the shimmering Golden Chedi and the deeply sacred Hor Phra Monthian temple. While you explore, you'll be learning all about the history, culture, and mythology behind the plentiful works of art that decorate the palace. At last, you'll see the extravagant Borom Phiman Mansion before continuing to a pair of fascinating museums.

    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.
