What to expect
Expect to walk through the Grand Palace's glittering compounds, removing your shoes as you enter sacred spaces. Wat Pho sprawls across multiple courtyards; allow time to navigate its scale. At Wat Arun, you'll cross the river by long-tail boat and climb the central prang for river views. Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered—and wear comfortable, slip-on shoes since you'll remove them frequently. Your guide handles logistics and context; you focus on observing. The pace is leisurely, built around photography stops and quiet moments.
Good to know
Bring a sarong or lightweight shawl for temple entry if unsure of your outfit. Avoid travel if you have spinal or cardiovascular issues, as walking is unavoidable. Lunch is not provided; eat beforehand or arrange separately. Guide and driver gratuities are customary but optional. The full duration includes driving time across the city.
