What to expect
You'll meet staff at the Eastin Grand Sathorn hotel reception before 7 a.m. and depart in an air-conditioned minibus toward the outskirts. The morning focuses on the two most vibrant markets: watch traders operate stalls sandwiched between railway tracks, then board a longtail boat to navigate Damnoen Saduak's narrow waterways lined with produce and handicraft sellers. After midday, return to central Bangkok for the Grand Palace's gilded spires and ornate chambers, followed by the massive reclining Buddha figure at Wat Pho. Expect crowds at both temples, especially mid-morning.
Good to know
Wear long trousers or skirts and covered shoulders for temple entry. Lunch isn't provided—eat at market stalls or carry snacks. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Public transport stops are nearby the hotel. Accident insurance and bottled water are included.
