The 15 Best Grand Palace and Bangkok Temple Tours

15 reviewed

The Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun sit within a walk and a ferry hop of one another, and taking them in the wrong order means queuing through the worst of the heat. Below are the best guided temple mornings in Bangkok, with the sites each covers, whether entry tickets are included in the price, and how early the good ones start. The palace enforces its dress code at the gate: shoulders and knees covered, everyone, no exceptions.
