Kings of Siam have been the official residents of this marvelous palace for almost 300 years. Before Bangkok was selected to be the capital that role belonged to Thonburi.

Vimanmek Mansion or Palace was built by King Rama V in 1900, few years after he returned from Europe where he visited numerous palaces. This palace is also special for the fact that nails weren´t used during its construction. From the interior decoration of the palace, one can conclude that king liked very much what he saw in Europe because one can notice a combination of European neoclassical style and traditional Thai influence. The entire palace has 72 rooms and it was used for a short period of time before the king moved to a new palace. This palace today is dedicated to King Rama where visitors can see his photos and handicrafts.

Wat Traimit is the Temple of the Golden Buddha which is officially called Phra Phuttha Maha Suwan Patimakon. The goden statue is made of 18 carat gold, 4 m high, over 3 m wide, and it weighs 5 tons.
Until today it is not certain from which period it dates, but it is made in Sukhothai Dynasty style. During its history it has been moved several times to different temples. Because of its enormous value it was plastered for some time to prevent it from being stolen. Since the mid 18th century until 1955 the true value of the statue was unknown. Its golden surface was accidentally revealed when the statue fell during transportation, and some parts of the plaster fell off. Today the temple Wat Traimit is visited by many who want to see this magnificent golden masterpiece.

Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho)

Wat Pho, the official name being Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm Rajwaramahaviharn, is the first grade royal monastery, regarded as the most important one during the reign of King Rama I of the Chakri Dynasty.

Wat Pho, the official name being Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm Rajwaramahaviharn, is the first grade royal monastery, regarded as the most important one during the reign of King Rama I of the Chakri Dynasty. The importance of this is due to the King having managed the restoration of Wat Phodharam, an old monastery from the Ayudhya period, and had it re-established as a the royal monastery located near the Grand Palace. Some ashes of King Rama I were also kept under the pedestal of the principal Buddha image known as Phra Buddha Theva Patimakorn in the main chapel.
The monastery is located in an area of 20 acres to the south of the Grand Palace, with Thai Wang road in the north, Sanam Chai road in the east, Setthakan road in the south and Maharat road in the west. Separated by a tall white wall on Chetuphon road, the monastery has two main quarters: the sacred or a chapel section, Buddhavas, and the residential or the monk's living section, Sangghavas.
It is said in a stone inscription that, after moving to the Grand Palace, King Phra Buddha Yod Fa The Great (King Rama I) recognized that there were 2 old temples along both sides of the Grand Palace: Wat Salak (Wat Mahatart) in the north, and Wat Phodharam in the south. He ordered his noblemen from the department of the Ten Crafts to restore Wat Phodharam in 1788. This first restoration took 7 years 5 months and 28 days. Then there was a celebration in 1801 and the Royal named it “Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklavas”, which was changed to “Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm” during the reign of King Rama IV.
The great restoration, having taken 16 years and 7 months, was done during the reign of King Rama III, by extending both the South Vihara and West Vihara where the large reclining Buddha image is kept, the Missakawan Park, Phra Mondob (Library Hall) and teaching-learning hall as they are of today. Although there was another restoration before the Bangkok Bicentennial Celebration in 1982, no more other major work has been done on the monastery, except for some minor repairs.

THAILAND EXPERIENCE

These price not included transport, food, hotel, activities just for managing all these things

and you all have to share for my expense!

Itinerary below;
Location: Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Erawan National Park, Sai Yok, Sangkhlaburi
Your adventure travel in Thailand starts and finishes in Bangkok.
Day 1
Stops on the tour: the Grand Palace, Wat Po, the so-called Reclining Buddha, Wat Arun and a river trip.
We end up on Khaosan Road (backpacker central) –packed with bars, restaurants, internet cafés, shops, clubs and stalls selling street food, cheap clothes, bags, shoes, music and souvenirs.


Day 2
After your night on Khaosan, you might be grateful for today’s late start. We’re off around lunchtime to Kanchanaburi for the real start of your adventure travel in Thailand.

It’s a lovely town west of Bangkok, on the River Kwai. There's lots to do in this friendly town and you can join in the itinerary we have planned or do your own thing. We’re here for a few days in a hotel situated on the river about 10 minutes from town by tuk-tuk.

Day 3
A day out at the exquisite waterfalls in Erawan National Park. Pretty!
Each of the seven tiers of waterfall feeds a gorgeous, freshwater pool that you can swim in. You can explore by a series of tracks that lead you to the various falls across wooden footbridges. You’ll find this out when you’re there, but the best pool for swimming is at level seven (hard slog but rarely busy and also boasts stunning views over the jungle). If you do make it to the upper levels, be careful – slippery when wet and don’t do it in flip-flops.

Day 4

We’re heading for Sangkhlaburi for a few days. It’s a beautiful and unspoilt area of Thailand, with stunning views, friendly locals and plenty to do and see. The nearby town is small, off the beaten tourist track, but it has pretty much everything you’re likely to need for a few days stop – shops, internet cafes, banks, ATMs, post office, bars, restaurants and a medical centre.
Our few days here you will be able to enjoy an elephant ride guided by a local mahout who will also show you they steer these amazing animals and Burmese temples and Enjoy a walk across Sangkhlaburi’s famous wooded bridge to the Mon village. Visit the Mon temple and Golden Pagoda (fascinating places) and then on to the border market to buy some traditional souvenirs. After this, enjoy river tubing (huge fun!) followed by traditional Mon dancing by local children in the evening!

Day 5
Off to see a waterfall and hot springs. Lots to see at the waterfall, with places to explore and climb. In the evening we’re off to the island of Koh Pha Ngan.

Day 6-8
Your last week will be spent on the beautiful, fun and chilled out island of Koh Pha Ngan found on the Gulf Coast. This is free time for you to do what you want, when you want!

The island is famous for its full moon party which is held on full moon night every month. This famous beach party brings thousands of party lovers to the island each month. If you miss the full moon, don’t worry as the island has half moon parties and black moon parties! There is always some form of party going on! At all other times, the island is pretty chilled out. You can relax on the stunning white sand beaches, trek through the jungle or snorkel in the clear blue water.

There is also the opportunity for you to learn the art of Muay Thai boxing or learn to scuba dive, these extra activities are not included in the programme.


Day ......
All good things come to an end. So it’s back to Bangkok to sort yourself out before flying home or continuing your travels.
