Our tour guide, Nok, was very friendly and accommodating. She met us before time at our hotel (Royal Orchid Sheraton on the river), and it was only my wife and I on the tour. Since it was a Sunday, the boat company would start only at 10 am. So, Nok took us on a tuktuk to the Grand Palace first. There we first enjoyed the Emerald Buddha, and then walked around the Grand Palace complex, where Nok explained the various sights and attractions. We walked a short distance to see the giant Sleeping Buddha. Then we took a ferry to cross the Chaopraya River to visit Wat Arun. The views from the top were lovely. We rode the ferry back and then took a tuktuk to the Marble Temple to see another Buddha, and enjoyed its courtyard. Finally, the tuktuk drove us through the main avenues of the city and dropped us back at our hotel. Overall, it was a great experience, many thanks to our tour guide, Nok. Thanks!
