Day Trips Within Bangkok - Tours In Thailand
Grand Palace & The Emerald Buddha (Wat Pra Gaew) - 4 Hours - 500 Baht
This half day trip is a must see when you come to Bangkok. The primary point of interest is the Chakri Palace and the famous Emerald Buddha is currently housed here. Make sure that dress appropriately when you go here, this is the home of the King and the site is held in reverence by all Thais.
Tour The Temples Of Bangkok - Wat Po - Wat Trimit - Wat Benchamaborit - 4 Hours - 300 Baht
You can visit Wat Po which is the home for learning Thai Massage in Thailand. Wat Po also houses the famous Reclining Buddha. The other temples are very beautiful including the "Marble Temple".
Ayuddhya - Bang Pa In Palace - Return Boat Trip 1 Day - 1500 Baht
This is really a great trip. You will take a bus to visit the lovely Bang Pa In Palace which used to be the summer home of the Kings of Siam (Thailand). This is where "Anna & The King" went to spend the summer in the movie. From there you will continue on to Ayuddhya the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Siam. The photo at left is of the famous 3 spires. This was the capital until 1782 when the Burmese invaded and sacked the capital and burned it. The Thais then moved their capital to present day Bangkok. After your visit in Ayuddhya you will return along the Chao Praya River (River of Kings) by boat and enjoy a complimentary lunch of Thai food. On the boat trip home you will see some of the everyday life in small villages along the Chao Praya River and end up back in Bangkok. My brother really enjoyed this trip when we went.
The Bridge On The River Kwai & Allied War Cemetery - 1 Day - 900 Baht

The town and bridge are located in Kanchantaburi and this trip is popular with war veterans, especially Australians and British Vets. A replica of the bridge made famous in the movie is here.
