Welcome to Thailand!

Upon arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport, your private Resurgence Travel guide will be waiting for you just beyond immigration at 15:45. Look for a sign with your name and a warm smile.

After a brief introduction and the offer of a cool towel, you’ll transfer to your boutique riverfront hotel, Riva Surya Bangkok. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes depending on traffic.

Check-in to your Deluxe River View Room, where welcome refreshments await. Take some time to relax and settle in after your flight.

For your first night, we recommend an optional Chao Phraya River dinner cruise — a romantic, gentle glide past the Grand Palace and Wat Arun by night. Alternatively, stroll the nearby riverside promenade or relax at the hotel.

📌 Insider Tip: If you decide to dine at local stalls, expect a meal to cost around THB 100–150 (~$3–5 USD). Most vendors accept cash only.

Begin your day with a peaceful riverside breakfast at the hotel. Your private guide will meet you in the lobby at 09:00 to begin your full-day cultural immersion.

Step aboard a traditional longtail boat and cruise through the hidden canals of Bangkok — a serene and scenic experience. Glide past teak homes, children playing by the water, and monks walking in saffron robes.

Disembark for visits to two of Bangkok’s most iconic temples: Wat Arun, with its steep porcelain towers, and Wat Pho, home to the majestic Reclining Buddha. Your guide will offer cultural context and etiquette tips throughout.

Lunch is served at Supanniga Eating Room, a stylish riverside restaurant known for bold northeastern Thai flavors.

Around 15:00, you’ll return to your hotel. Your guide service concludes for the day. We recommend enjoying a traditional Thai massage (approx. THB 300–500 for one hour).

At 18:30, head to Sala Rattanakosin’s rooftop bar for sweeping views over the illuminated Wat Arun. This part of the evening is yours — sip cocktails and soak in the magic of dusk over the river.

After breakfast, meet your guide in the hotel lobby at 09:00 for a deeper dive into Bangkok’s regal past.

Today’s highlights begin at the Grand Palace — a dazzling complex of temples, golden spires, and royal halls. Inside, you’ll visit the revered Emerald Buddha. Expect crowds in the morning; your guide will help navigate quietly.

Next, head to The Never Ending Summer, a beautifully converted warehouse eatery by the river, for a delicious Thai lunch.

In the afternoon, explore Pak Khlong Talad, the city’s famous flower market. You’ll walk through a fragrant maze of jasmine garlands, lotus blossoms, and tropical blooms. Your guide service concludes around 16:00, with return to the hotel.
