Important information for cruise passengers
Your tour is planned around your ship's actual arrival, tender operation and required all-aboard time. We allow additional time for traffic, parking, attraction queues and unexpected delays. Up to 5 hours is the maximum tour duration; the actual tour may be shorter when your cruise schedule requires an earlier return.
Flexible temple stop: Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem are in the same general area. Depending on traffic, parking queues and available time, the tour may visit one or both. Big Buddha can experience significant traffic and waiting times during busy periods.
