☕ Breakfast

Wake up early this morning, take a morning trip to stroll through Lumpini Park and witness locals taking their morning tai chi, yoga and aerobics classes, before transferring to the Be Organic by Lemon Farm Restaurant at Portico Langsuan for a healthy breakfast.

Afterward, guests will have the opportunity to visit one of Bangkok's most spectacular and popular attractions, the famed Grand Place, which has been the seat of Thailand's revered Royal family for more than 200 years. This half-day tour gives guests the time to explore this impressive complex of temples, palaces, pavilions and museums. One must-see attraction is the enchanting Emerald Buddha, which, according to legend, is almost 2000 years-old. (Note: Grand Palace is one of the most popular destinations and is usually a number one must-see place in Bangkok. Not surprisingly, it receives millions of tourists annually. To get the best of your visit and avoid crowds on spot we will allow your guide flexibility to visit the temple either early morning or late afternoon if possible in your itinerary. If you by any means decide that there are too many people for your liking, the guide can bring you to an alternative temple in the area such as Wat Saket or Wat Suthat, this decision needs to be made before entering the Grand Palace.)

After the Grand Palace, the tour continues to nearby Wat Pho - Bangkok’s oldest temple and arguably its most impressive. Home to the magnificent 45-meter-long reclining Buddha, Wat Pho is also a place of learning, having served as Thailand's first school of traditional medicine and Thai massage.

Lunch at Nahm, which was ranked 22nd in a list of the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants”. At Nahm, Thai cuisine is showcased using some of the best market-fresh produce in the world, all carefully put together by Executive Chef David Thompson and his experienced team. Standout dishes feature rare ingredients from all regions of Thailand.

Late this afternoon, guests will head to the Bangkok Float Centre for 60-minute floatation session. This unique sensation takes away all sensory input, removing any negative thoughts and allowing the creative, relaxed part of the brain to come to the fore. Without the constant pressure of analyzing the world, the body lowers its levels of cortisol, the main chemical component of stress. This causes the brain to release elevated levels of dopamine and endorphins, the neurotransmitters of happiness.

This evening, guests will be able to enjoy their new-found happiness by experiencing the sights, sounds and aromas of the historic Bangrak neighborhood, which translates literally as “Village of Love”. Here, guests will experience how the locals live, eat and shop as they take part in unique local food tastings, each packed with authentic history and intimate stories of the neighborhood.

EXO’s local experts have hand-picked food that is guaranteed to tickle the taste buds, and their intimate stories of Bangkok and Thailand’s everyday culture are sure to fill guests with wonder.
