Bangkok

Discover the joys of Thailand’s effervescent capital by cruising to a floating market, visiting iconic temples, browsing the Ancient City museum park and enjoying time to explore further on your own

DAY 1

Disembark the ship in Laem Chabang, collect your luggage and meet your guide. Start your program with a visit to the Ancient City, built on a 200-acre site. This is like an open book of Thai history and allows visitors to gain a view of the real Thailand. During your tour you will see the numerous reproductions of palace halls, temples, stupas, stone sanctuaries, and traditional houses. You can also see several reconstructed historical buildings, authenticated communities with their daily chores and sample villages from all regions of the country.

Due to the enormous size of this fascinating attraction, you will view most of the city from the local tram, although some stops will be made along the way for interior or close-up looks at some of the sites such as the Old Market Town, Khao Phra Vihan (Preah Vihear), Sanphet Prasart Palace.

Following your two-hour visit at the Ancient City, continue to your hotel for check in.

The Shangri-La has a prime location nestled along the Chao Phraya River. With direct access to the SkyTrain, public ferries terminal and buses, the hotel is the perfect gateway to explore and discover Bangkok.

Official check in time is at 3:00pm so your room may not be ready upon arrival to the hotel. Luggage can be stored at Reception if this is the case so you can enjoy some lunch or get aquatinted with the hotel and its surrounds.

The remainder of your day is at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

Should we have more than 15 guests participating in the program, there will be an RSSC Hospitality Desk providing local information and optional sightseeing tours that can be booked on site. A Welcome letter will be provided when you arrive with any further details.

DAY 2

Following breakfast, set off on one of the most exciting and unique shopping sprees you’ll ever experience. Travel to the vibrant Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a hodgepodge of merchants piloting small wooden boats filled with handicrafts, souvenirs, local food, and all sorts of unique finds. Even getting here is a special experience.

On a small boat, you’ll wind through a labyrinth of canals, lined with wooden houses on stilts, to reach the floating marketplace. Upon arrival, you’ll immediately find yourself immersed in the market’s rather chaotic, but always friendly, energy. Watch local women paddle their boats into position with incredible skill. Haggle for hand-carved wooden elephants, tiger balm, even traditional souvenir T-shirts. There are also plenty of places along the docks selling tasty Thai treats certainly worth trying. If you’re looking for a wonderfully unique shopping adventure, nothing tops the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market!

Return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Lunch and dinner are on your own.

DAY 3

After breakfast, meet your guide and tour of the city of Bangkok with a visit to the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Temple, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful examples of an ancient Siamese court.

Built at the beginning of the Chakri Dynasty in 1782 by King Rama I and covering nearly one square mile, the Palace served as the residence of the Thai Kings until 1949. Today, it is still used for Royal ceremonies and state occasions. Within the Palace compound is a collection of lavishly decorated buildings bejeweled with gilt and multi-colored glass mosaics and soaring finials topped with glittering spires. The highlight of your guided tour of the palace grounds is the Wat Phra Keo, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. One of the most celebrated sites in all Thailand, the temple houses one of the country's most sacred objects - a splendid Buddha statue carved from a single piece of emerald-green jasper.

Following your visit, return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

The sun can be quite intense, and the air becomes hazier with the rising humidity. Though sometimes quite hot, the lack of rain still leaves this good time of year to visit the temples.

What to Bring:

On this tour the key words are comfortable and casual. Remember we are visiting a foreign country and local dress codes should be observed. Please avoid uncovered shoulders, shorts or revealing clothing. Trousers or pants covering the knees are required to be worn when visiting Angkor Wat and Bayon Temple. Although dinners are not formal, you may want to bring something a bit dressier for that time of day.

Bring a hat or a head covering for sun protection and don’t forget your suntan lotion, sunglasses and bug spray (you should have mosquito repellent for sunrise and sunset hours). It’s also a good idea to bring along a small packet of tissues or wet wipes. It is also suggested that guests wear flat comfortable walking shoes (not sandals or open toed shoes / flip flops). Guest are requested to take-off their footwear and hats when visiting religious sites.

Currency:

Guests are encouraged to bring US Dollars with them as they are most commonly accepted in Cambodia. The local currency is the Cambodian Riel. You should take smaller denominations of US Dollars with you, as they will keep you from ending up with a lot of local change that you will not be able to re-exchange back home.

Electricity:

Rooms are equipped with 220-volt, two-pin US style electrical outlets. We recommend travelling with your own adaptor kits should you have electronic devices.

Water: Avoid tap water and drinks with ice in them. Drink mineral water and drinks in sealed containers. Water at the hotels in both Bangkok and Siem Reap is potable.

Check in time is at 3:00pm at the hotel. Should you have an earlier arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night so a room is available upon your arrival. Luggage can also be stored at the hotel if your room is not ready when you arrive.

The day is at your leisure to settle in with any meals on own

Should we have more than 15 guests participating in the program, there will be an RSSC Hospitality Desk providing local information and optional sightseeing tours that can be booked on site. A Welcome letter will be provided when you arrive with any further details.

DAY 2

Following breakfast, set off on one of the most exciting and unique shopping sprees you’ll ever experience. Travel to the vibrant Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a hodgepodge of merchants piloting small wooden boats filled with handicrafts, souvenirs, local food, and all sorts of unique finds. Even getting here is a special experience.

On a small boat, you’ll wind through a labyrinth of canals, lined with wooden houses on stilts, to reach the floating marketplace. Upon arrival, you’ll immediately find yourself immersed in the market’s rather chaotic, but always friendly, energy. Watch local women paddle their boats into position with incredible skill. Haggle for hand-carved wooden elephants, tiger balm, even traditional souvenir T-shirts. There are also plenty of places along the docks selling tasty Thai treats certainly worth trying. If you’re looking for a wonderfully unique shopping adventure, nothing tops the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market!

Return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Lunch and dinner are on your own.

DAY 3

After breakfast, meet your guide and tour of the city of Bangkok with a visit to the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Temple, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful examples of an ancient Siamese court.

Built at the beginning of the Chakri Dynasty in 1782 by King Rama I and covering nearly one square mile, the Palace served as the residence of the Thai Kings until 1949. Today, it is still used for Royal ceremonies and state occasions. Within the Palace compound is a collection of lavishly decorated buildings bejeweled with gilt and multi-colored glass mosaics and soaring finials topped with glittering spires. The highlight of your guided tour of the palace grounds is the Wat Phra Keo, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. One of the most celebrated sites in all Thailand, the temple houses one of the country's most sacred objects - a splendid Buddha statue carved from a single piece of emerald-green jasper.

Following your visit, return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast and on the way to the port of Laem Chabang, stop at the Ancient City, built on a 200-acre site. This is like an open book of Thai history and allows visitors to gain a view of the real Thailand. During your tour you will see the numerous reproductions of palace halls, temples, stupas, stone sanctuaries, and traditional houses. You can also see several reconstructed historical buildings, authenticated communities with their daily chores and sample villages from all regions of the country.

Due to the enormous size of this fascinating attraction, you will view most of the city from the local tram, although some stops will be made along the way for interior or close-up looks at some of the sites such as the Old Market Town, Khao Phra Vihan (Preah Vihear), Sanphet Prasart Palace

Following your two-hour visit at the Ancient City, continue to the port and your ship.

The sun can be quite intense, and the air becomes hazier with the rising humidity. Though sometimes quite hot, the lack of rain still leaves this good time of year to visit the temples.

What to Bring:

On this tour the key words are comfortable and casual. Remember we are visiting a foreign country and local dress codes should be observed.

*Please avoid uncovered shoulders, shorts or revealing clothing.

*Full length trousers or pants and/or skirts covering the knees are required to be worn when visiting Angkor Wat

Although dinners are not formal, you may want to bring something a bit dressier for that time of day.

Bring a hat or a head covering for sun protection and don’t forget your sunscreen, sunglasses and bug-spray (you should have mosquito repellent for sunrise and sunset hours).

Guest are requested to take-off their footwear and hats when visiting religious sites.

Currency:

Guests are encouraged to bring US Dollars with them as they are most commonly accepted in Cambodia. The local currency is the Cambodian Riel. You should take smaller denominations of US Dollars with you, as they will keep you from ending up with a lot of local change that you will not be able to re-exchange back home.

Electricity:

Rooms are equipped with 220-volt, two-pin US style electrical outlets. We recommend travelling with your own adaptor kits should you have electronic devices.

Water: Avoid tap water and drinks with ice in them. Drink mineral water and drinks in sealed containers. Water at the hotels in both Bangkok and Siem Reap is potable.

Pack accordingly as excess bags will be collected before you leave Bangkok and you will be re-united with your luggage on day 4 on board the ship. Note that Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the hotel, nor our local ground operator are liable for any lost or missing items. We do not recommend leaving valuables behind or in checked luggage.
