| Bangkok is the perfect gateway to other Southeast Asian countries, and our introduction to this exotic city covers the major cultural and historical sites. Travel by private longtail boat along the Chao Phraya River and its residential canals. Visit the Temple of Dawn, the Grand Palace, and the magnificent Wat Phra Kaew, a glistening temple that houses the country's most sacred religious image -- the Emerald Buddha. Visit Bangkok's flower market, where women weave colorful offerings and garlands. Also visit the Jim Thompson House, a beautiful Thai-style home that once belonged to silk industry legend Jim Thompson. Make an early morning visit to the Marble temple to witness monks practicing their morning chants. Continue to Monks Bowl Alley, one of the few places where traditional alms bowls are still handcrafted. Permission will be arranged for you to visit the Prasart Museum, a private art collection housed in an exclusive private Bangkok estate. | |||
