Why Visit the Wang Lang Market?

It is a small market by the river. You can be sure that you will find the best, most authentic, and most reasonably priced goods at this market because it is crawling with locals.

Why Visit Wat Paknam (Big Buddha statue)?

Also known as Wat Saket, the big Buddha statue is situated on top of a man-made hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city. You must climb a series of stairs, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning statues, to reach the top.

You’ll be rewarded with a peaceful atmosphere and a magnificent golden stupa once you reach the summit. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the beauty of this place.

*Please note that if you choose the extra service of pick-up and drop by a private car, then we can only cover the Bangkok area.
