    • Bangkok

    Bangkok is a vibrant city that has well preserved the dazzling artifacts of the Kingdom of Thailand. The sun-glittering kingdom makes one mesmerized in a mysterious experience of seeing an old kingdom as if they had travelled back in time. While the stimulating aroma from the street food vendors will wet one's
    appetite. Without realizing, one will be holding skewered meat while the sound of food being fried will flood their senses. When full, one can go for an acupressure treatment, the Thai Massage, which is another excellent experience.

    Wat Arun
    Bigger than Wat Phra Kaew and but not as crowded with tourists. Phra Prang, the 82m tower, is the symbol of this place known as the ‘dawn temple’. Originally constructed by the orders of Rama II, Wat Arun became even more glamorous as decorations were added such as the chinese sculptures that were given to Rama IV as gifts. One can climb to the top of the tower, and witness the entire landscape of the Wat Phra Kaew region and the Cao Phraya River
