DAY 2: BANGKOK  (BREAKFAST - LUNCH)

Grand Palace and Jim Thompson House

This morning, your sightseeing in Bangkok begins with a visit to the Grand Palace. It is an architectural wonder of golden stupas, walls and pillars encrusted in shining, colorful mosaics, and the previous residence of the Kings of Thailand (from the 18th to the mid-20th century). You will see palaces once used for different occasions, including the Reception Hall, the Coronation Hall, the Throne Hall, the Royal Guest House and Wat Phra Kaew. The architecture is predominantly Thai, though there are some European influences. The most famous building within the palace grounds is Wat Phra Kaew, as it is regarded the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. The main temple building houses the Emerald Buddha, the most revered object in Thailand, carved from a single piece of jade. After lunch, tour Jim Thompson's house. This architectural gem is hidden away on a quiet street, in the center of the city. It was once the home of the man who took the production of Thai silk onto a higher level on the international stage. The building itself is one of the best examples of traditional Thai residential architecture, also housing a breathtaking collection of Southeast Asian art. An open air café is situated in the peaceful gardens with a shop selling Jim Thompson's silk and other household items.

Lunch will be served at a beach restaurant with time set aside to "recharge the batteries." For those keen to do more than soak up the rays, the southern end of the beach has a fantastic snorkeling spot with an abundance of coral that is home to a plethora of colorful, tropical marine creatures. The west side of the island has a mangrove forest with a sturdy boardwalk, so visitors can see how the mangroves act as a haven for land and sea creatures, without damaging the sensitive eco-system. The island is traffic-free and without electricity, so there is total solitude. Although less than half-an-hour from Samui, Koh Taen is a world away from its bigger neighbor.
