Royal Grand Palace and Temples Tour.
This excursion combines the three most popular Buddhist temples in Bangkok. Start the tour with a visit to the Royal Grand Palace, a great architectural masterpiece of several buildings from the outside and a magical inside, which was used as a royal residence from the 18th century to the mid-20th century. It is without any doubt a national reference and possibly the most visited royal monument of Thailand, which shouldn’t be missed.
The building houses "Wat Po", Bangkok's oldest temple, in which is located the famous gold leaf-covered reclining Buddha. This tour includes also the temple "Wat Traimit" with its 5.5-ton Golden Buddha. To round off the tour, we call in at a local lapidary factory and showroom where you will be able to get locally made jewelry, handicrafts and silk at competitive prices. Transfer back to your hotel.
Calypso Show.
Enjoy the Calypso Show, as they say “boys will be boys”, but sometimes here in Thailand, boys will be girls. Seeing truly believes at the Calypso Cabaret Show, where all of the performers up on stage are all men. Cabaret Shows like this are now becoming very popular here in Thailand, particularly in Pattaya or Phuket, but this one has been choreographed and directed by a westerner, making this show very different and truly one of the best.
Beautiful costumes, impressive lighting, fantastic songs and stunning sets provide a show that will appeal to all. It is light, sound, music and action as Thailand's famous lady-boys take to the stage.
