Day 2 Bangkok

Get to know Thailand’s capital! Visit the highlights, including the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, “Temple of Emerald Buddha” a 22-inch jade statue considered to be the symbol of the country, hence making it the most sacred temple in Thailand.

In the morning head to Khao Yai National Park. Visit Wat Phra Phutthabat, a first-class royal temple constructed in 1624. The highlight of the temple is known as the Lord Buddha’s footprint.

Visitors can also see an inscription by King Rama V, engraved during his visit to pay respect to the Lord Buddha’s footprint. After that visit Wat Theppitak Punnaram Temple with its 45-metre-high, white Buddha statue given by His Majesty King Rama IX. The meaning of the measurement is that the Buddha had been meditating for 45 years before his enlightenment.
