historic value since it used to
serve as a royal residence for King Rama V. The artwork of the architecture has absolutely
no comparison. It was built entirely of golden teak wood in the Western style.
Subsequently, at noon, everyone on board enjoyed the super lunch accompanying with the
superb scenic view of the famous Jao Pa Ya river with the city of angels as the back-
ground. Right after lunch, the convoy headed to the very renowned tourist attraction which
is Wat Prasrirattana Sassadaram, the house of the Emerald Buddha locating within the
Grand Palace.

Flora Ratchapruek”. Many historic sites and pristine places, fantastic trip around BKK
and Chang-Mai concluded with “Khantoke” dinner with traditional northern Thai folk
dance, where everyone enjoyed both the food and the entertainment provided. , it thus is
