WHAT YOU VISIT
Wat Po Temple
Founded in the 17th century, the temple is home to one of the largest temple complexes in the city, with more than 1,000 Buddha images, and the giant reclining Buddha that is 46-meters-long (150 feet) and covered in gold leaf. In 1832, King Rama III enlarged the temple and turned it into a center of learning, making it Thailand's first university.

Wat Suthat Temple
Built in the early 19th century to house the Phra Sri Sakyamuni Buddha statue, an impressive bronze Buddha image that stands over seven meters tall (25 feet) tall. Standing at the entrance is a huge red teak arch holding the remains of an original swing, once the center of an annual ceremony where young men would try to swing high enough to retrieve a sack of gold tied to a pole in the air. So many men died in the attempt that the ceremony was banned in the 1930s. Step inside and marvel at the cloisters lined with 156 gilded Buddha statues. Twenty-eight Chinese pagodas, representing the 28 previous lives of Buddha, envelope the monastery where the main Buddha statue is installed.

Tuk Tuk Ride
This fun motorized rickshaw, named for the sound of its engine, will travel around the inner part of Bangkok and stop at the Jessadabordin Ground. Here, you'll witness a stunning Thai architectural-styled, open pavilion, and catch a glimpse of the Golden Stupa Mountain Temple, the highest temple in Bangkok, famed for its central golden mound-like structure. You'll also see Radchanadda Temple, best known for the Loha Prasat, a multi-tiered structure 35 meters high (118 feet) with 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues toward enlightenment. Also within sight is the Makahan Fort, just one of the two remaining medieval fortresses in Bangkok.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Paintings in the Wat Suthat Temple are perhaps the most extensive and important of their kind in Thailand. Take note of the doors to the cloister. Each is painted and gilded with colorful scenes from the Ramakien, Thailand's national epic, derived from the ancient Sanskrit epic, Ramayana.

LUNCH
During the day, you'll sit down in a local restaurant for a delicious buffet featuring an international menu.

SHOPPING
Following a tour of Wat Po, you can browse for souvenirs in the temple's gift shop before heading to lunch. Before returning to Laem Chabang, you'll have time to visit a reputable shopping venue and browse for handicrafts, jewelry, souvenirs and gifts.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your full-day tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a scenic, two-hour drive to Bangkok, considered the "Venice of the East." En route, you'll travel through tropical countryside offering picturesque views of tapioca fields and small rural towns.
