What to expect
Expect to spend 1–2 hours at each temple, moving at a relaxed pace with your guide explaining the architecture, iconography, and daily rituals. The Grand Palace requires modest dress (covered shoulders and knees); your guide will brief you beforehand. Wat Pho's Reclining Buddha is vast but often crowded; early mornings are quieter. Wat Arun is best visited at mid-morning for light on its tiles. Between sites, you'll ride in a comfortable vehicle. Bring water, wear comfortable shoes, and allow time for photographs.
Good to know
Lunch is not included; your guide can recommend restaurants. Dress modestly—temples deny entry for exposed shoulders, knees, or chest. Avoid visiting if you have recent spinal surgery, are pregnant, or have heart conditions. Tipping is customary but optional.
