Enjoy a private transfer to Bangkok, Thailand's vibrant and alluring capital. With local insights from your professional guide, explore the city's cultural and historical landmarks. Start with a visit to the Grand Palace, which has served as the official residence of Thai kings since 1782.

Walk around the compound to see the Throne Hall, the Coronation Hall, the Reception Palace and the Funeral Palace.
