We start our tour of Bangkok by heading, stylistically along the river, to the historic city center, where the city's three most important temples lie on both banks of the Chao Prao River – Wat Arun, Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaeo.
Cruise to Wat Arun
Trip on the Chao Phraya River
Wat Arun is without a doubt one of the top five most important sights in Bangkok, so it is a destination for almost all visitors to this city. Unlike all the other most famous landmarks of the city, it lies on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, so most sail here.
