Itinerary

Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen

3 hours Admission included

Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen (or Phasi Charoen) is a stunning royal temple in Bangkok that has recently become one of the city's most photographed landmarks. While it dates back to 1610 (the Ayutthaya period), it is now famous for its massive, modern additions.

Since you are exploring the Phasi Charoen Canal (Khlong Phasi Charoen), you are in one of the best areas to experience "Old Bangkok" away from the main tourist crowds. This canal connects the Chao Phraya River to the outer districts and is the lifeline for the Wat Paknam area.
Wat Khun Chan

one hour

Wat Khun Chan (officially Wat Waramatayaphanthasararam) is one of Bangkok’s most visually "surreal" and colorful temples. Located in the Thon Buri district, it is a hidden gem that feels worlds apart from the traditional gold-and-white temples found in the city center.
Pak Khlong Flower Talat Original

2 hours

The most famous flower market in Bangkok is Pak Khlong Talat, located in the Old City (Rattanakosin) near the river. It is a massive wholesale and retail hub that has been a part of Bangkok's daily life for over a century.
Sampeng Market

2 hours

Sampeng Market (located in Bangkok’s Chinatown, Yaowarat) is one of the city's oldest, busiest, and most famous wholesale markets. It is a long, narrow alleyway packed with everything from stationery and toys to jewelry and home decor.
Chinatown / Yaowarat

one hour

Chinatown Bangkok, centered around Yaowarat Road, is a legendary sensory experience. Known locally as Yaowarat, it is one of the world's largest Chinatowns and transforms from a bustling day market into a neon-lit street food paradise by night.
Wat Mangkon Kamalawat

one hour

Wat Mangkon Kamalawat (Wat Leng Noei Yi) is the largest and most significant Chinese Buddhist temple in Bangkok, serving as a spiritual heart for the city's Thai-Chinese community. Established in 1871, it is a stunning example of classic Chinese architecture right in the bustling Chinatown district.
