Day 2 - Good Morning Bangkok!
Depart early morning for a 2-hour drive to the 100-year-old Damnoen Saduak Floating Market located 100 km (62 mi) from Bangkok, one of Thailand’s most famous attractions. Day-in and day-out from about 8 am to about 11 am, the Floating Market is routinely crowded with hundreds of vendors and purchasers floating in their small rowing boats selling and buying or exchanging their goods. You will have a chance to take a ride on a long tail boat to get the real sense of a floating village. After the long tail boat cruise around the village, you will stop at a transit point where you can choose to further explore the floating market by a 4-seat boat (at your own expense) or stroll around by the river's banks. After having lunch, you will return to Bangkok, and you will visit Wat Pho, which is one of Bangkok’s oldest and largest temples. Wat Pho was built by King Rama I about 200 years ago and houses the gigantic, gold-plated Reclining Buddha image.

Your last stop is The Royal Grand Palace, the nation's landmark and the most revered royal monument. You will see the Palace, which is used for many different occasions, and you will see The Coronation Hall, the Funeral Hall, the Royal Guest House, and the mysterious, famous Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), the most revered Buddha image in Thailand. Then return to the hotel.

Continue to Ayutthaya, which was the capital of the Thai Kingdom for 417 years. The city was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong and in 1767 it was destroyed by the Burmese army. Nowadays the ruins of the former city are on the UNESCO World Heritage list. You will take a local Tuk Tuk to stroll around the ruins of several ancient temples including Wat Phanancheong, Wat Mahathat, where the roots of a tree surround the head of Buddha; Wat Prasri Sanphet, a former royal temple during Ayutthaya days of glory; Elephant Camp, Wat Lokkaya (Wat Pranon), if time permits, Wat Chai Wattanaram, a perfect example of Khmer architectural influence.

When you are visiting Ayutthaya, you must try Boat Noodles (Kuai Tiao Ruea)! Originally, this dish was only sold on small paddle boats in Ayutthaya. As time went on, it started to be sold on the shore, too. Now, this Thai noodle dish is sold in tiny bowls, and there is always a challenge - to see whose bowl is piled higher! Ask your private UME guide to stop at one of these popular local restaurants and try this delicious dish. It is hard to find this dish in any other place in Thailand!

Day 12 - Best Bali Beaches in Nusa Dua
What to Expect on this day:
Nusa Dua Beach
Our first stop will be Pantai Mengiat - the best beach of Nusa Dua. At this beach, you can chill, rent sunbeds, swim, or simply enjoy the beautiful view. You can also walk along the coast to the Water Blow (to left of Pantai Mengiat, driver will wait you in the parking), or head over to Geger beach (to the right). Take this time to relax and enjoy the scenery, but be sure to notify the driver when you'll be coming back. Driver will wait for travelers in the parking lot, and if you would like more free time, simply let the driver know and they will be happy to accommodate your request. It is certainly an option to skip travel stops, but better arrive at Uluwatu Temple at 4 30pm, as the amazing Kecak dance show starts at 6pm.
Water Blow
Water Blow is just a short 15 minute walk away from Pantai Mengiat - a unique spot located in Nusa Dua where large waves of sea water from the Indian Ocean crash against the jagged limestone edges of the cliff. The water Blow is the outcome of the narrowing crag below the cliff's face that channels a massive surge of water up to 30 meters high from it's base after strong currents. This phenomenon results in giant, irregular waves that can reach sever meters high. The area provides a 24- degree lookout of dramatic seascape that is bordered by guardrails. Be sure to note that the strength of wave splashes can vary depending on the water levels and wind.
Melasti Beach
This beach is located below a high cliff. With clear blue water, corals and an amazing view from the cliff, this beach is one of the best in Bali.
Uluwatu Temple
This temple (pura in Balinese) is built at the edge (ulu) of a 70 meter high cliff (watu) projecting into the sea. Though a small temple was claimed to have existed earlier, the structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century. Another sage from East Java, Dang Hyang Nirartha is credited for constructing the padmasana shrines and it is said that he attained moksha here, an event called ngeluhur ("to go up") locally. This has resulted in the temple's epithet Luhur. The temple is inhabited by monkeys all around. Definitely a view you will enjoy from the cliff.
Kecak and Fire Dance
A Kecak dance performance based on the Ramayana is performed daily in Uluwatu temple everyday at 6pm on the cliff-side. This outdoors performance also displays the beautiful sunset in the background as you watch the Kecak Fire Dance.
