Sawat dee! Welcome to Bangkok! Private transportation from the airport to your hotel. If you arrive early, drop by our office for up-to-date information about the latest things to do and see. Late arrivals may enjoy venturing out to sample the cool evening flavors of The Big Mango.

Breakfast at your leisure, but save room for a fantastic lunch! Smart casual dress is required today (long pants and a shirt which covers your shoulders). At 11:00 a.m. your guide will call you from the lobby of your hotel. Enjoy a noontime feast of Royal Thai cuisine overlooking the Chao Praya, the River of Kings. Afterwards, tour the canals of the "Venice of the East" in a zippy long-tail boat. Visit the awesome spire of Wat Arun, Temple of the Dawn, one of Asia's most memorable sacred sites. Return to your hotel in late afternoon to freshen up, or pamper yourself with a luxurious, traditional Thai massage. At 9pm, our guide will join you for a colorful safari through the famously frenetic Silom night bazaar and then visits to nearby gay pubs and discos.

Today's schedule is free and easy. Your personal guide will accompany you from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. You might like to visit the teakwood villa of Jim Thompson, the gay American who resurrected Siam's languishing silk artistry. Bargain-hunters will love the endless array of market stalls, funky boutiques, and trendy malls. Elegant palace museums and peaceful temple courtyards await exploration. In the evening, you might like to visit Bangkok's famous Calypso cabaret extravaganza, an exciting Muay Thai kick-boxing bout, or sample authentic Thai cuisine at any number of outstanding eateries.

Smart casual dress is required today (long pants and a shirt which covers your shoulders). At ten our guide will accompany you upriver to the reclining golden Buddha of Wat Po, the spirit-possessed Lak Muang Shrine, and the pinnacle of Thai arts, culture and worship - The Grand Palace. In the same neighborhood: the exquisite murals and peaceful gallery of seated Buddhas at Wat Sutat, the architectural treasures of The National Museum, and a market of magic amulet traders. Tonight you're free for a final evening of warm smiles.



Free time until your private transfer to the airport or extend your stay to discover more delights in beautiful Chiang Mai, Pattaya beach resort, Phuket Island, or even a side trip to majestic Angkor Wat, just an hour away!
