Private Wat Saket Tuk Tuk Tour by AK Travel

Make your trip to Bangkok memorable with this tour of Wat Saket and other must-see tourist spots! Manned by one of the most prominent travel services in Thailand, this excursion will have you immersed in the culture and history of Bangkok. Start your day with a ride to Wat Saket, a low hill lined with golden Buddhist stupas. Meet worshippers from all over the world, as well as the local monks supervising the place. From there, hike up the man-made hill of the Golden Mount Temple. This famous landmark is a sacred pilgrimage site for Buddhists, and the 300-step climb is part of their weeklong worship every November. Once there, find yourself staring at a breathtaking panoramic view of the whole city. Re-energize with an authentic Thai dinner at Thip Samai Pad Thai, a roadside food spot known for cheap yet delicious local favorites. Sample their best-sellers before heading to Chao Phraya River, Thailand's major river. Enjoy the breeze as you tour the river on a tuk tuk, and catch glimpses of iconic landmarks near the site. Pass by the Victory Monument in central Bangkok, a tall obelisk made in honor of the conflict between Thailand and French Indochina back in 1940. Head on to Wat Pho for a peaceful walk along its premises and check out their gigantic reclining Buddha. For your last stop, try Mont Nom Sod's local delicacies, especially their popular toast. Satisfy your sweet tooth before heading back to your hotel in Bangkok.
