DECEMBER 29, 2023 - BANGKOK
In the morning visit the religious heart of Bangkok, a fabulous city within a city, where Thais pray, light incense, and bring offerings. Wat Phra Kaew, one of the four areas into which the Palace is divided, is the holiest Buddhist temple in the entire country while the main temple, Phra Ubosot, displays the sacred statue of the Emerald Buddha. Also visit the Suan Pakkard, where collections of Asian and Thai antiques and works of art, shells, crystals and ceramics can be seen.
In the afternoon, visit the most important temples in the city. Wat Pho, with the Reclining Buddha, an impressive 36-meter long and 16-meter high statue: then it is the turn of Wat Suthat, one of the largest and oldest, with a huge golden statue of Buddha from Sukhothai and beautiful frescoes; finally Wat Benchamabopit, a marvelous temple built with white Carrara marble; inside the central representation are enclosed the ashes of King Rama V who built the temple

Damnoensaduak market visit. the fascinating floating market that has remained unchanged over time. Canoes are rowing stalls, small floating stores laden with fruits, vegetables, steaming pots of soup, skewers, eggs. Tasting everything is irresistible temptation, as is taking thousands of photographs, to capture the traffic jam of boats, the weather-marked faces of the women who steer the little boats and so as not to spoil their hands too much they wear tiny white gloves (half-day visit).
