Day 2 · July 3, 2025
Temple hopping and riverside vibes
-Good morning, travelers! After fueling up with breakfast at the hotel, we're diving straight into Bangkok's rich history via a temple tour.
-First up, the Grand Palace. Trust us, this place is mind-blowing. Wander through the intricate royal architecture that once housed Thai kings and still hosts epic ceremonies. Inside, you'll find Wat Phra Kaew, home to the famous Emerald Buddha – it's a big deal here, so don't miss it!
-By lunchtime, we'll head to a cozy local restaurant by the river. Grab a seat, enjoy the breezy vibes, and dig into some delicious Thai cuisine (just a heads-up, lunch isn't covered in the package).
-Next, a short stroll takes us to Wat Pho, aka the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. This massive golden Buddha is stunning and totally Insta-worthy. The temple's walls are covered with intricate murals, and fun fact: it's also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. Maybe time to book a session?
-When evening rolls around, we'll meet up for dinner at another awesome local Thai restaurant (again, not included in the price). It's the perfect chance to swap stories from the day and plan any nighttime adventures.
Day 3 · July 4, 2025
The art of Thai relaxation and street food delights
-Kick off your day with a tasty breakfast at the hotel and a slow morning start. With free time on the schedule, sleep in, explore nearby shops, or maybe snap some photos around the city.
-This afternoon, we're turning the relaxation up a notch with a 90-minute traditional Thai massage at a local spa. Seriously, get ready to feel like a whole new person. It's the perfect way to recharge before the evening's adventures.
-As the sun sets, we're diving deep into Bangkok's legendary street food scene. On our guided tour, you'll live like a local – sampling goodies like Patongo (delicious deep-fried dough) and the iconic mango sticky rice. We'll even hit up a Michelin-recognized street food spot, so bring your appetite!
-But wait, there's more! We'll hop into tuk-tuks for a classic ride through Bangkok’s buzzing streets.
-Our night wraps up with drinks at the Sala Rattanakosin rooftop bar, offering jaw-dropping views of the Chao Phraya River and the illuminated Dawn Temple. Trust us, it's the ultimate way to end an epic day (or start a memorable night out).
Day 4 · July 5, 2025
Cooking up memories and a farewell feast
-It’s our final full day in Bangkok, and that means it has to be the best one yet! After breakfast, we're stepping into the flavorful world of Thai cuisine.
-Today, you'll don a chef's hat at a local Thai cookery school. Get ready to show off your culinary skills as you whip up both savory dishes and mouth-watering desserts – all by yourself! Don't worry if you're not a pro; our friendly instructors will guide you every step of the way.
-When lunchtime rolls around, we'll feast on the delicious creations we've just made. There's something special about enjoying a meal you've crafted with your own hands, especially when it's packed with authentic Thai flavors.
-Post-feast, we'll return to the hotel where the afternoon is yours to unwind.
-As night falls, we'll come together for a farewell dinner at Plu, an upscale, Michelin Guide-rated restaurant renowned for its southern Thai dishes bursting with fresh herbs. It's the perfect spot to toast to new friendships and unforgettable experiences. Let's make our last evening in Bangkok truly epic!
