Day 1 – Arriving in Bangkok and Exploring the Grand Palace
After arriving in Bangkok and checking into our hotel, we headed straight to the Grand Palace to explore the royal complex.
The Grand Palace
For 150 years, the Grand Palace was the official residence of Siam’s Kings. The palace consists of several structures, halls, and temples. The following are some of the significant highlights:
Wat Phra Kaew, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, houses Thailand’s most revered Buddha image, which was masterfully carved from a single block of jade.
The primary residential edifice of the palace, where royal festivities were held, was the Boromphiman Hall.
The Amarindra Hall, used for royal audiences and receptions. The Dusit Maha Prasat Hall, the royal throne hall.
The architecture is a mash-up of Thai and European styles, with brightly coloured tiles, gold embellishments, and towering spires. Many ancient artifacts, statues, and murals can also be found on the royal grounds. We spent more than three hours exploring the various buildings and learning about the history and culture. By the end of our excursion, we were in awe of Thailand’s royal heritage’s grandeur and magnificence.
On our Bangkok trip, we worked up an appetite and then went to the famed Platinum Fashion Mall food court for some delectable Thai cuisine before calling it a day. The splendor of the Grand Palace set the tone for our Thai adventure!
Day 2 – A Full Day Taking in the Sights of Bangkok
Exploring Bangkok’s Canals and Temples
We left our hotel after a great breakfast to tour Bangkok’s complicated canal system and gorgeous temples.
On a longtail boat excursion, we began our day exploring Bangkok’s picturesque khlongs (canals). Our guide guided us through the busy canals, giving us a peek of local life along the riverbanks. We went by merchants selling their wares, children playing, and houses built on stilts.
The one-hour excursion provided us with a glimpse of traditional Thai river life in the “Venice of the East.”
We spent the afternoon touring two of Bangkok’s most stunning Buddhist temples. Wat Pho is home to a 150-foot-tall reclining Buddha. The extensive grounds of the temple also house over 1,000 Buddha images and beautiful artwork. Then we headed to Wat Arun, also known as the “Temple of Dawn,” because of its prominent spire. As the sun began to set, we climbed the steep steps to the summit, where we were rewarded with panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River.
We dined at a quiet riverside restaurant after a busy day of visiting Bangkok’s rich culture. While watching the city light up for the night, we ate tom yam soup, green curry, and mango with sticky rice. We returned to our hotel, exhausted yet satisfied, eager to rest.
Day 3 – Travelling to Pattaya and Enjoying the Beaches
On the third day of our fantasy vacation, you will travel 2.5 hours from Bangkok to the resort town of Pattaya, which is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand.
A trip to Pattaya is well-known for its beaches and busy nightlife, making it an ideal getaway from the hectic capital city.
When you arrive in Pattaya, go straight to our beachfront hotel to check in and relax. After you’ve settled in, spend the afternoon relaxing on the gorgeous coastlines of Wong Amat or Naklua Beach, two of Pattaya’s most popular sunbathing and swimming sites. The silky white beach and crystal blue waters offer a wonderful backdrop for relaxation.
As the sun sets, explore Pattaya’s vibrant nightlife along Walking Street, a neon-lit area in South Pattaya dotted with opulent nightclubs, pubs, and cabarets. Enjoy a cocktail at an open-air bar after supper at one of the trendy seafood restaurants along the beach. Consider viewing a beautiful cabaret show with lavish costumes, music and dance for a one-of-a-kind sort of evening entertainment.
Pattaya provides a dynamic combination of natural beauty and urban excess on our third day in Thailand. Pattaya offers an array of activities and indulgences to delight every traveler, from tranquil beachside moments to vibrant nights out on the town. Pattaya, with its laid-back attitude and multitude of recreational activities, is an excellent place to recover after an exciting few days seeing Bangkok. A visit to this vibrant beach town, located only a couple of hours from Bangkok, is an excellent complement to any Thailand itinerary.
Day 4 – Visiting Coral Island and Walking Street at Night
On day 4 of our trip, you embark on an exciting excursion to Coral Island, also known as Koh Larn. To get there, you take a 45-minute speedboat ride from Pattaya Beach. Upon arriving at the island, you are greeted by pristine white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters.
Exploring the Island
You spend the morning walking around the island, enjoying the picturesque scenery and stopping for some fresh coconut water and tropical fruit along the beach. Some recommendations for things to see and do on Koh Larn include:
-Relaxing on the beach and going for a swim in the clear waters. The most popular beaches are Tawaen Beach and Samae Beach.
-Visiting the Koh Larn viewpoint to get panoramic views of the island from the highest point.
-Checking out the offshore coral reefs by kayak, canoe or snorkeling. The reefs feature soft and hard corals in a variety of colors, as well as tropical fish. -Browsing the shops along the walking streets and picking up some souvenirs like seashells, beach clothing or handmade crafts. For lunch, dine at one of the casual beachfront restaurants featuring fresh seafood like crab, lobster, shrimp and fish. After a full day enjoying island life, you take the speedboat back to Pattaya in the late afternoon.
Walking Street at Night
You spend the evening on Pattaya’s famous Walking Street. This renowned nightlife location is closed to vehicular traffic until 6 p.m. The Boulevard is lined with neon-lit taverns, nightclubs, and go-go bars with loud music. Walking Street is an interesting spot for people to watch, grab some street food and beverages, and experience Pattaya’s evening atmosphere even if you don’t go into any of the clubs. You return to OUR hotel exhausted but satisfied after another fantastic day in Thailand after an amazing day exploring Coral Island and Walking Street.
