Monday Afternoon – Have lunch at Bayoke Tower to take in the view of Bangkok, return to the hotel and prepare for the evening’s cruise. Alternatively, head to Chinatown for lunch at the Shangarila Restaurant (my favorite) and a couple of hours of stumbling through back alleys.
Monday Evening - two-hour Chaopraya dinner cruise (1700) - several companies - dinner (Thai) and go from Oriental and Peninsula Hotel past the Wat Pho, Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew (Emerald Buddha) , the Royal Barges Museum, and Wat Phra Atit. The boat then makes a u-turn and goes back in the direction of the Oriental and Peninsula Hotel. Tuesday Morning - head to Samut Prakarn to the Ancient City (700). Known as the gateway to Thailand’s cultural heritage, the 600 rai piece of land is full of copies and artifacts from prehistoric times to 25th Buddhist era.
