What You Can Expect from Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho Walking Tour From Bangkok

The first stop Wat Phra Kaew which is commonly known in English as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Admire the brightly colored buildings, golden spires, and glittering mosaics. It is so richly and intricately decorated that, once entering the temple, you will feel as if you are in a real “city of angels”. Be in awe at the great image of Buddha in the meditating position and carved from single jade stone.
