The Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple were built together with the founding of Bangkok in 1782. The architectural plan of this palace was almost identical in every detail to the royal palace of the former capital of Ayutthaya (about 600 years ago) because the King wanted to recreate the glory of the city as it was in the past. So it was completely first built in traditional Thai style. However, at various periods, the influences from other nations affected the architecture in Thailand in different reigns such as the Chinese elements introduced by King Rama 3 in the early 19th century and the western building style introduced by King Rama 5 in the late 19th century. So you will see a great mixture of European, Chinese and Thai architectural style. In addition, the Emerald Buddha image is the most important Buddha image in Thailand.

The Temple of Dawn or Wat Arun Temple is known to local people as Wat Arun or Wat Chaeng. Both the names Arun and Chaeng mean the same as at dawn. Wat Arun is classified as one of the six first class royal temples in Thailand and is consecrated ideally to King Rama 2 where the royal ashes of the King were interred here. The temple of dawn is very famous because it’s the location of the highest Prang tower of corn cob shape in Bangkok with 67 meters high and it has become the landmark of Thailand. There was an old temple situated here at that time known to local people as Wat Makok which means the temple of the olive trees.The name of some temples may come after the name of the area. This area at that time known to locals as Bang Makok, Bang means area, Makok means olive trees, so the name of Bang Makok means the land of olive trees and then this name was shortened as Bang Kok making an English name Bangkok.

The Golden Buddha Temple or Wat Traimit is very famous because it is the location of the world largest Golden Buddha image with the size of 5.5 tons of solid gold. We don’t know who built this temple but we guess from its original name that this temple must be built by three Chinese men who lived somewhere in China town close to this temple. In 1939, the temple was renovated by the abbot of the temple. The renovation involved the restoration and the new construction of the ordination hall. A new name was given to the temple Wat Traimit which has been used until today. The temple became very famous in 1955 when we found the Golden Buddha Image.

Chinatown is most lively in the late evening as a street food. There is a local market nearby Chinatown where you can buy gifts and souvenirs called Sumpeng Market. The history of Chinatown dates back to when King Taksin founded Thonburi as a new capital in 1767, he asked Teochew merchants to supply his new capital with rice and provision. In return, he granted them many favors, including the land on the East bank of the Chao Phraya river, opposite his palace. When King Rama 1 ascended to the throne and founded Bangkok as the new capital in 1782, he ordered the Grand Palace built in the area that the Chinese community stayed in. He ordered them to move further South from the Grand Palace to live in a certain area which is now known as Chinatown.

Pak Klong Talat or flower market is the biggest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok. The market has all kinds of popular flowers and flora-related items, including roses, forget me not, orchids, lilies and many more. Most of them are sold in packs of 50 or 100 flowers in each, and prices are amazingly cheap. The market opens 24 hours, but is most lively after midnight. If you want to see the market in full action, the best time to go is about 3-4 am. Wholesalers bring a lot of freshly cut flowers, while retailers come to buy their stock in bulk. During the day, the flower market is sleepy, but this is a good time for visitors to shop around. Prices are reasonable but during special occasions such as Mother’s day, Valentine’s or graduation season, certain flowers will be 3 or 4 times more expensive.

Beautiful Bangkok!!!

I chose NocNoc Travel because of their good reviews plus the company was very quick to respond to my initial inquiries. I contacted another company as well and just got a very generic response which was a red flag for me. I like how right from the start Nuttagon was helpful and reassuring that we would have a great experience. It was so easy to work with them. I just sent a list of the things I wanted to see and with their expertise were able to plan out two great days in Bangkok. Our guide, Yuth, was the best. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He was flexible with our plans and gave good suggestions. Yuth was our tour guide for 3 days (2 in Bangkok and 1 day trip). Helpful tips: For the city tours, there’s really no need to rent a car. Our guide took us on public transportation and we explored the city like a local. For us this added to the experience. Also book NocNoc’s Private Maeklong and Damnoen Floating Market.

perfect host

I loved our tour guide. It was like having a big sister, advocate along with me the entire time. We felt safe, and cared for. She understood what we were looking for and was able to accommodate last minute requests. She made, me and my husband feel welcome, and was able to adjust when we desired other options. I would defiantly rebook her again, and suggest getting the private transportation, which we did.
Amazing tour with Nok
Published on Jan, 2025
We're a group of 5 adults who did the custom private tour with Nok. We had an amazing time! Nok was super attentive and meticulous in organizing our tour. She reached out to us the day before the tour to confirm all the details, then on the day of the tour itself, she was efficient and informative, and went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable time. She was also very kind when we had to make some last minute changes to our itinerary. We would absolutely recommend doing this tour. Thank you to Nok for a wonderful tour!
