Wake up to a fresh morning and enjoy the view of the Chao Phraya River.

This morning, with your guide, embark on a private long-tail boat at the hotel's pier, cruising along Bangkok's canals to discover a more charming, tranquil side of the capital.

Catch glimpses of traditional teak houses and modern mansions which highlights how Bangkok's waterside communities have evolved through the years.

Stop to explore Wat Khun Chan, an interesting temple area rarely visited by tourists. Then cross a small footbridge to explore old alleys. Grab a refreshing cold drink and have a seat, taking time to watch and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Continue to Wat Paknam, another rarely visited temple, and admire its beautiful golden Buddha statue, which can easily be seen during the boat ride as well. Return to the boat and continue cruising onwards through Khlong Bang Khuntien until reaching an authentic natural garden and restaurant called "Poomjai Garden", nestled secretly on the banks of the canal. Owned by a local Thai family, this beautiful garden is served with a long history of over 100-years, when the family decided to renovate the precious lands into an organic permaculture, while preserving some rare plants and trees, like a century-old Lychee tree in the area. In the meantime, the family is connected with the nearby local community to source fresh ingredients that can be used at the restaurant.

Be welcomed by the owner who will talk you through the story of the garden and restaurant and how they contribute to the local community. Follow the owner through the garden before taking a seat by the river for a delicious lunch served with a signature drink.

After lunch, be picked up by a private vehicle from the restaurant and transferred to Grand Palace, which has served as the seat of Thailand's revered Royal Family for more than two centuries. Take a walk around the vast grounds, stopping in to explore the various temples, throne halls, the Emerald Buddha, the most revered Buddhist image in Thailand and museums within the compound with a particular focus on Queen Sirikit Museum. For those who want a more exclusive visit, a curator from this remarkable museum will be your personal guide through the exhibit. Not only does the visit showcase high fashion but it also chronicles the Queen's life, and state visits.

Go behind the scenes for a closer look at Buddhist culture. Continue your journey with a trip to Wat Pho which is one of Bangkok's most enchanting temples. Take a walk around Wat Pho and see the vast collection of religious treasures on display. Admire the famed reclining Buddha image, which stretches 45-metres in length. Learn about the symbolism of the Buddha's intricate footprint and witness devotees making offerings to this revered image. Enjoy the afternoon monks' chants. Witness this deeply spiritual ritual and gain a better sense of Thailand's Buddhist heritage.

Late Afternoon, unwind with a pre-dinner drink on the outdoor terrace of Baan Phraya, followed by an elegant Thai set dinner.
