Tour description

This Free tour of Bangkok (Cultural Tour of free payment) has a unique tour and designed with a lot of love in which we visit the most outstanding points of the history of Bangkok , making an introduction to the Thai capital and its religion, Buddhism.

VISITS WE WILL MAKE:

  • Wat Ratchanadaram Worawihan: Also known as Loha Prasat and among Spanish-speakers as the Metal Castle, it comprises a multi-level structure with 36 meters high in which it presents 37 metal needles, this unique temple represents the 37 virtues towards enlightenment in the buddhist belief. It is considered the only bronze palace in the world, a building whose roof is covered by bronze tiles which makes it a unique and different place from other temples located in Bangkok or other cities or islands in Thailand.
  • Wat Saket: Also known as the Temple of the Golden Mount or Golden Mountain of Bangkok, it is one of the oldest and most important temples in the capital. This temple was built at the request of King Rama III who ordered the construction of a huge golden stupa on its top. In this place it houses a Buddha relic from India as well as unique sculptures with Buddhist references. In the past for centuries it was the highest point in Bangkok. The base and surroundings of the temple are covered with vegetation and to reach its top you must climb its 318 steps where we will be delighted with its great golden stupa and its 365 degree panoramic views of the city. It goes without saying that these relics are found inside the Wat Saket temple as a demonstration of the greatness of the Buddha and creating a unique and different space from the rest of the temples that may exist in the city or other places in Thailand.

Tomamos el Tour por que era en español. Fue uno de los peores Tour que he tenido. La guía era muy maja, pero el nivel de su idioma solo alcanzaba para decir algunas oraciones dispersas en cada lugar que paraba. El Tour empezó muy mal por que la giga esperaba en un lugar, el Link del correo electrónico nos enviaba por una entrada trasera del lugar, y por ultimo la descripción del lugar de encuentro era en otro lado, o sea que al final los que tomamos el tour nos fuimos encontrando poco a poco entre los templos y ella(la guía) esperaba en frente del lugar. Con todo empezamos mas de media hora tarde. O sea que el Tour fue Turbo Express. Ella caminaba muy rápido y cada vez que paraba soltaba una oración suelta sobre algún cosa, pero si no eras el primero y segundo detrás de ella, cuando llegabas ya había terminado la oración y no escuchaste nada. Así paso todo el Tour y eso que solo éramos 6 personas. Lo único que podemos destacar de ella, s que era una persona muy alegre, risueña y amable. Lamentablemente muy lejos de ser una guía turística capacitada. Calvez por que el idioma no alcanzada para poder hablar y contarnos mas que algunas oraciones dispersas sobre diferentes temas. Hubiera preferido visitar el lugar turístico que visitamos (entrada 100 Bahts) con calma y sin la guía. ya que con ella solo corríamos tras ella, para alcanzarla y al final no escuchar ni haber aprendido nadad de nada. Fue una pérdida de tiempo y dinero.

La organización para el encuentro fue pésima, nos dieron un punto de Google maps que estaba localizado en otra parte, nos encontramos con el grupo y no estaba el guía. Tuvimos que recorrer todo el complejo para lograr encontrar al guia, ella no tenía ningún distintivo para reconocerla (por ejemplo un paraguas o algo más), por fin la logramos encontrar después de unos 20 minutos de la hora de inicio y estaba muy molesta reclamando que llegamos tarde y que éramos muy pocas personas (7). En consecuencia de todo lo anterior el tour inicio tarde y no pudimos ir al segundo templo porque ya había cerrado, la guia hizo todo el tour con prisa, no esperaba a que llegara el grupo y comenzaba a hablar sin avisar. Fue una muy mala experiencia que no recomendaría, hubiera sido mejor hacerlo por nuestra cuenta.
