This night tour was awarded TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice "No. 1 Experience in Thailand" in 2018, 2020 & 2023, and for good reason.

Exploring at night and by the iconic tuk tuk is a great way to discover Bangkok and learn about the local culture.

On this 4-hour tour you will:
• Whizz around Bangkok in a tuk tuk
• Visit The Flower Market, the grounds of Wat Arun, and Chinatown
• Explore the historic part of Bangkok, and see famous temples and sights illuminated at night
• Enjoy snacks, dinner and a dessert!

This is considered a cultural tour with food. However, it should not be considered an in-depth food tour.

This tour is available in 2 options:
• Small group join in tour with maximum 12 guests (available daily except Mondays)
• Private Tour for just yourself (suitable for families with young children).

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Thonburi
For this tour your will need to make your way to our meeting point at Krung Thonburi BTS Station. Here you will meet your guide, who will introduce the tour before you hop into your tuk-tuk (2 or 3 people per tuk tuk). Krung Thonburi is the first station when you cross over the river to the Thonburi side of Bangkok. Thonburi has a much more local feel and we will explore both local life and history on this side of the river before crossing over to the historic area of Rattanakosin.
2. Wongwian Yai area
We will stop at a local street food market area to sample a selection of snacks and learn about the local way of life and culture.
3. Wat Prayurawongsawat Worawihan
This is an alternative stop to Wat Arun Temple due to temporary suspension of the temple for renovation purpose. Wat Prayoon temple, a recipient of UNESCO Cultural Heritage Conservation Award of Excellence in 2013 has a rich history of itself. It was built in the reign of the King Rama III which makes this temple approx. 200 years old. The temple features a beautiful white stupa which can be seen miles away due to its big size stupa. This is why this temple is a perfect alternative to Wat Arun temple
4. Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)
We will take a walk through the famous Bangkok Flower Market that runs 24 hours a day and comes alive at night.
5. Bangkok
We will stop at a local restaurant for dinner. Our restaurant choice does change to ensure we best accommodate the group.
6. Rattanakosin (Bangkok Old City)
We will cross back over the river to explore the historic area of Rattanakosin, which is where many of the most famous landmarks in Bangkok are.
7. The Grand Palace
We will pass by The Grand Palace, and while it is closed in the evening it makes a great photo stop with it lit up in the background.
8. Wat Phra Chetuphon
This stop is currently suspended as Wat Pho is currently shut at night. Once it is re-opened we will stop here again. In the interim, we will visit Wat Arun instead.
9. Giant Swing
The Giant Swing is one of the key landmarks of Bangkok and we will stop here to briefly learn about its history.
10. Chinatown - Bangkok
The final stop will be in Chinatown. At night Chinatown comes to life with street food vendors and we will finish the tour with dessert.

Fabulous tour led by Tony, our extremely knowledgeable and accommodating guide. We wanted to travel with only a small group and there were 6 others - with two of us in each Tuk Tuk. I require Gluten-free food options and Tony ensured that I was well-fed and would advise me of what I could and couldn't eat. The tour really completed our trip covering temples, great views, the extensive flower market, tastings, a complete dinner and delicious mango sticky rice for dessert. MMMM!
Thank you so much - Khob khan ka.

We had a great time and wonderful experience, especially that our tour guide Noon was very friendly, entertaining and knows all the details of our places we visited. We have no issues with the food, everything was delectable. Highly recommended to those who want to avoid too much heat of the day.
