Wat Pho & Grand Palace Tour: Bangkok’s Must-See Temples

Start your day early to avoid the crowds and arrive at Wat Pho in time for the monks’ daily chanting, which begins at 9:00 a.m. This peaceful and enlightening experience is often enjoyed in near solitude. Afterward, explore the temple grounds, including the iconic 45-meter-long Reclining Buddha.

Next, continue on to the Grand Palace, Thailand’s most famous landmark, where you’ll be amazed by the luxurious architecture and ornate royal halls. Don’t miss the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), home to Thailand’s most sacred Buddha image.

Please note: the audience halls at the Grand Palace are closed on weekends, but the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and surrounding gardens remain open daily. The Royal Pantheon inside the temple is only open to the public once a year, on April 6.

While Western visitors are common, it’s important to dress modestly when visiting temples and religious sites in Thailand. At the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, a strict dress code is enforced. Shorts, sleeveless tops, and revealing clothing are not allowed. Long pants or skirts are required, and closed-toe shoes are preferred (sandals with socks are acceptable). As a sign of respect, shoes and hats must be removed before entering any sacred area.
