Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)
One of Bangkok’s most beautiful temples is the Wat Benchamabophit, also known as “the marble temple” or Wat Ben. As it is classified as a first class Royal temple, it is also a temple of significant importance. The official name of the temple is Wat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram, which means “the Monastery of the fifth King near Dusit Palace”, the fifth King being King Chulalongkorn the Great (Rama V). Royal temple near Dusit Palace At the end of the 19th century the King had Dusit Palace build, a large complex of Royal Palaces and Mansions including the Ananta Samakhom, the Vimanmek Royal Mansion and the Abhisek Throne Hall in Dusit district. When Dusit Palace was finished, the King ordered construction of the marble temple in 1899 nearby on the site of an old temple complex dating from the early 19th century. In this temple, King Chulalongkorn ordained as a monk for a short time in 1873.

Bangkok City Pillar Shrine
Sitting at the very heart of Bangkok, the Lak Mueang or ‘city pillar’ is often overlooked by overseas visitors who come to see the better known attractions nearby such as the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha and Wat Pho. The Bangkok City Pillar Shrine may lack the more obvious grandeur and spectacle of its near neighbours, but it is historically and culturally one of the most significant locations in the Thai capital. King Rama I and Old Bangkok in 1782, the first king of the Chakri Dynasty, King Rama I, moved his capital from Thonburi to the other side of the Chao Phraya River. The new city would be easier to defend with Rattanakosin Island at its heart. This is the district referred to as ‘Old Bangkok’ where the Grand Palace is located, but the first building constructed at the new capital was the Lak Mueang city pillar. The Grand Palace and all of the other temples and buildings would follow later, but preparing a shrine for Phra Lak Mueang, the guardian spirit who protects the city, was the most important thing for King Rama I to do when establishing Bangkok as his new capital. To this day, Bangkok residents and Thai people visiting the city continue to pay their respects at Lak Mueang.

The Roof Top Bar
Only after experiencing these great—almost dizzying—heights can you understand why Sky Bar is a Bangkok institution. Why many consider a visit to the City of Angels incomplete without partaking in a Hangovertini or three. You’ve had rooftop drinks before, but this bar is something else—something worthy of all the hype. Suspended on a precipice 820 feet in the air, Sky Bar is one of the highest rooftop bars in the world. Come for magic hour, or sundown, or after dark—it’s a different scene from hour to hour, thanks to the fading light, the flickering cityscape, and a backlit bar that changes color throughout the night.

Difficult to understand guide
Our guide, although very nice and knowledgeable, was difficult to understand. She spoke fast and if you were directly in front of her it was ok....but not in the van or on the long boat. We did plan our own itinerary which she helped us with.

Dissapointed
The grand palace was having a private event so we couldn't gain access- bummer. The guide was GREAT, , apologetic and tried to make it right with recommendations to return the next day. However, I was just bummed by missing one of the biggest attractions there. My rec for the company is to check with the venue the morning of to ensure people who traveled thousands of miles can actually gain access.
via Viator
It was ok
the vehicle was good and clean. the guide was nice, but the English was not so good as well as the guide didnt speak too much. We needed to ask a lot of questions in order to receive information. Also there was no suggested program, eventually we decided by ourselves where to go.
via Viator
Great idea in theory!
Booked this tour as had already been to Bangkok last year but when here did not get the opportunity to see everything I wanted to and being able to choose where to go was ideal (or so I though)... I wanted to go to Yaowarat and we did go but felt like my guide just wanted to rush through the visit there, I also wanted to go to Khao SAN road and was told you don’t want to go there, that is for young people’ Well I did want to go there, if only to see it and booked the tour with that a firm choice on my itinerary... instead I was taken to the flower market... I still wonder if I was taken there purely because the guide wanted to go there... and finally I was taken to Pratunam market, which was ok, but felt that I couldn’t barter and at this point was so disappointed I left early and came back to my hotel.

Useless
Booked through viatour. Our tour guide was completely useless and not a great English speaker. I appreciate that they were able to accommodate some schedule changes we had due to traffic from hua hin to Bangkok but I was extremely disappointed in the detail and info provided by our tour guide. We could have done every single activity by ourselves in a similar amount of time. Our guide provided no history, no detail, no value to our experience and essentially could have been replaced with a chauffeur. Maybe we were constrained by traffic and other timings beyond my understanding but I also googled some of the outrageous claims our tour guide made and they seemed to be made up on the spot. I hate to speak ill of someone but I feel that we were scammed. I’m not the type to give bad reviews but in this case I felt I had to warn other travelers that they’re in for an experience... but not the one they’re looking for. What a waste of our only afternoon in Bangkok. On the positive side we got a few pictures.

The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Best of Bangkok Program Discovery: Half or Full Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
