Bangkok Day Trip from Pattaya: Temples, River Cruise and Show

Thailand's capital packs centuries of history, Buddhist heritage and street food culture into one sprawling city, and this day trip lets you experience a generous slice of it without any planning on your part.

The day starts late, so there is no early alarm. You will see golden temples, wander historic neighbourhoods, enjoy the riverside, then spend the evening dining on the Chao Phraya River before a colourful stage show. Choose between two routes depending on your interests.
