After our first proper taste of Thailand's incredible food scene, we can venture to explore some markets and see where the night takes us!

We've got a jam-packed day today that's going to fill your cup in SO many ways. We're starting off by heading over to the Rha Pinklao Bridge pier to jump on a long-tail boat to explore the city by water. This is the perfect way to travel over to today's awesome temples. In the afternoon, we'll visit Wat Arun and Wat Pho (aka The Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and learn all about Thai culture. Then it's back to the hotel to chill before heading out to explore Bangkok at night!

Later this afternoon, we will visit the motherland (aka 7/11) to grab some snacks ready for the overnight train!
