Private Bangkok Temples Tour including reclining Buddha at Wat Pho

Thailand is predominantly a Buddhist country with around 95% of Thai's practicing the Theravada discipline of Buddhism. As you wander the streets of Bangkok it is not unusual to see monks walking along the road and it should come as no surprise as Thailand has over 26,000 wat's (the local name for temple).

On this privately guided half-day guided tour you will visit three of the most famous wat's in Bangkok - Wat Traimit, Wat Pho and Wat Benchamabophit. A Wat is a Buddhist building where both men and women can be ordained as monks or nuns.

Wat Traimit is also known as the temple of the Golden Buddha. The 3 meter tall statue is made from solid gold and weighs 5.5 tons and is a fine example of Sukhothai style art. You will then pass through Chinatown on your way to Wat Pho, the temple of the reclining Buddha. At 46 meters in length and 15 meters high the Buddha is the largest in Bangkok and illustrates the passing of the Buddha into nirvana. Your last stop is at Wat Benchamabophit, or the marble temple. This magnificent monastery was built out of white Italian marble from Carrara in the late 19th century.

Note: Wat Trimit will be closed for renovations from September 9 - December 9, 2008. Wat Trimit will be replaced with a visit to Suthat Thepwararam during this time.

Wat Suthat Thepwararam was founded at the centre of Rattanakosin island and is one of Thailand’s six most important temple. Construction was according to the Treatise on warfare. King Rama the 1st wished to make it the central temple of Bangkok and building started in 1807. Construction was completed according to plan in the reign of King Rama VII. Good planning from the beginning earned it praise as “the most finely proportioned temple”.
