Wat Pho & Arun: Bangkok's Breathtaking Temple Discovery

Get itinerary for a solo traveler with a limited stay in Bangkok! I had a wonderful time meeting other solo travelers.

Surin was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Made visit very enjoyable. Would highly recommend her for any visit.

Thank you for the experience, I really enjoyed seeing the temples and hearing the stories that you shared. My favourite part was seeing the big Buddha lying down.

I booked this with Viator rewards and it cost me $1. I feel I screwed over the company and Surina my guide. Surina contacted me prior to the tour and let me know where to meet her. I got there and it was a big area so I WhatsApp’d her and she replied immediately and found her within 1 min. When it says small group, it was really small group. I was the ONLY ONE (for the most part) with Surina and got one on one attention. To say she was incredible is an understatement. She was SPECTACULAR. I love a question and she answered all of them. Her gratitude toward my generosity with donations in the temples and such was outstanding. At one point I think I saw her shed a tear. Anyway, about an hour into the tour she got a call. Her boss said she left four people behind. She was VISIBLY SHAKE . She kept showing me how her schedule only had 1 person for the 10:00 tour but her 3:00 had 4. Then she saw they booked the tour that morning about an hour before the departure time and did not get the notification and she was so upset. If you see a review how she left people, PLEASE DO NOT DETER YOU AND THINK SHE, or the company, does not care about their guests. We first went to Wat Arun then to Wat Pho. She showed me EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. In between we stopped for the FRESH COCONUT WATER. They chopped open the coconut and it was great. Then scraped the insides to eat the fresh pulp. I also bought some rose apple to snack on. She wanted to pay for it and I wouldn’t let her. She was insistent but I said no. We went to Wat Pho and she took me everywhere and knew all the PERFECT places for photos. Also she wouldn’t even let me carry my own bags at times. She said she would so I had my hands free for photos. I had my own tour guide and it was incredible and she was incredible. While it’s a three hour tour we finished in 2 hours and I think it was because I was solo. I didn’t mind at all. Some would get aggravated they didn’t get “all they paid for” but I did and then some. At the end she took me shopping since we still had time. She showed me good shops and helped me bargain for some awesome souvenirs. She also recommended some awesome restaurants to have a snack. At the end I tipped her and she would not accept my entire tip. I was insistent but she still only took a portion of it. She did so much for me and she should know how much I appreciated her. I would 1000x book this tour again if I knew she would be my guide. I’m trying to convince friends to change our NYE trip from Cambodia to Bangkok again and if I do I’ll reach out to Sarina to give us another tour.

Had a great time with family today along with the other joiners for this tour. Our tour guide named Kiki is so friendly and approachable. She explained everything so well. Thank you so much!

My guide Nana gave a fun and very informative tour of key temples around Chiang Mai, weaving history, Buddhism and Thai culture into a memorable afternoon. I definitely recommend this tour if you are new to Thailand and want to get to know the culture of Thai people. Great value.

Nancy, our tour guide, shared the rich history of the area and we had a great time making memories and visiting the many temples.

On time and very friendly guideYing. Will surely recommend her to others. She showed us around the place very nicely and also explained the history of wat Pho and wat Arun.

Mr Thai was amazing and so fun to walk with! He told us and showed us so many details about the two temples, mentioning the architecture of the pagodas and the sculptures history. We had our own time too to peruse and at the end we walked and had food in china town with Mr Thai taking us to the best and secret places that had amazing and affordable treats to end the day. Totally recommend it!

Had an amazing time. Ying was a lovely guide who showed us around . We we're really impressed and even got a coconut! Would highly recommend
