: Breakfast at hotel, after breakfast we continue to Bangkok canals and Chinatown. Today's exploration of Bangkok will begin on the remote canals. As the canals are the primary mode of transportation for the locals and much of Bangkok's rural housing sits on the banks, it is here where life can be observed in its purest form. First, we will stop at Wat Arun, the temple of dawn, to have a glimpse of this stunningly ornate temple and perhaps learn a little about Buddhism from our guide by preparing traditional offerings for merit. Next we'll journey back into the heart of rural Bangkok via narrow channels and under backwater bridges. The locals use the canals to swim, bathe, and wash clothing & dishes - anything you can imagine. Perhaps most interesting are the women who paddle their small canoes filled with all of the tools for a mobile restaurant, shuttling from one house to another cooking savory dishes in their hull!
After lunch at a wonderful canal-side restaurant we'll return downtown for a walking tour of Chinatown. In this thriving neighborhood there is a constant flurry of activity, from colorful flower stalls that line the streets, to the bustling marketplace, to the gem merchants and goldsmith shops. Also, we'll seek out some of Bangkok's most interesting temples that are tucked away in the alleyways of Chinatown.
At night enjoy a beautiful night dinner cruise on The Choaphaya River.
