Tips

Prepare for mixed transport: walking at the palace, a riverboat trip and a short tuk-tuk ride.
Wear sunglasses and sunscreen for the open-air ferry; the river breeze offers little shade.
Choose sturdy, comfortable shoes for climbing Wat Arun’s steep steps and boarding the ferry.
Bring small baht bills for extra expenses like tuk-tuk tips and souvenirs at each site.
The tour covers a lot of ground; it helps to arrive well-rested, as there is walking at each location.
