One of the best ways to explore Thailand’s fascinating history and artistic heritage is through its architecture. While structures draw upon designs from India, China, Myanmar, and Cambodia, you’ll soon discover unique features that are truly Thai. Let All Asia Tours take you on a journey to the country’s most iconic temples and palaces where you’ll discover sweeping multi-tiered roofs, dazzling golden decorations, and elegant spires that stretch skyward as they taper to delicate points. With All Asia Tours, you’ll witness some of Thailand’s most beautiful buildings including iconic Buddhist temples and monasteries, ancient ruins in Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, contemporary Bangkok high-rises, and so much more.

Bangkok’s Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) are absolute must-sees. Unsurprisingly, this stunning complex reflects the rich splendor of Thai royalty -- from the bright orange and emerald roof accented with shimmering gold trim, to Wat Phra Kaew’s priceless jade Buddha image tucked away in the temple’s interior. Interestingly, the complex also exhibits European architectural styles in its rows upon rows of repeated columns and arched windows. When touring Bangkok, you won’t want to miss the city’s other architectural highlights like the bell-shaped Wat Arun.

Venture north to Chiang Rai to see Wat Rong Khun, also known as the famous ‘White Temple.’ While only first built a little over twenty years ago, every inch of Wat Rong Khun is adorned with detailed, symbolic imagery such as naga -- mythical snake-like creatures.
