you will meet your guide at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). Then you will take a public boat to Wat Saket, popularly known as the Golden Mount. Here you will see a Buddha relic, a 58-meter Chedi house, which welcomes worshippers all year round to see the birds-eye view of Bangkok.
Then you will continue to walk to Baan Bat or Monk's Bowl Village, the small village with an age-old tradition of crafting bowls from raw steel using only their hands and a hammer. Nowadays less than five households continue to make a living selling their craft.
Then we will walk to the Buddha Street, in the center of the old town. Here you can explore the shops and find all sorts of curious things.
