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.

This was one of the best tours I took in Thailand. The organisers were on time to pick me up. The tour guide Jib was splendid. She has good knowledge of Thailand. She explained us well, was patient and courteous. Keep your stomach empty as they keep feeding you the local cuisine. Well spent 4 hours at local market, buddha temple, navy club, giant swing, flower market ... The tuk tuk driver, Samree was excellent

This was such an incredible tour! Our host "Internet", Net, was so knowledgeable and really made the experience. We ate our way through several night markets, saw temples and had a sit down dinner at an excellent Thai restaurant. Not to mention, getting to ride in Tuk Tuks between each stop. Our tuk tuk driver even unexpectedly drove us all the way back to our hotel after the tour. What an unforgettable experience!!!

We had a great time . Our tour guide Sasa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable . We had arrived the night before so wanted to do a light activity level tour but didn't want to waste a whole day and this was perfect . Food served for dinner was delicious and traveling in Tuk Tuk was fun . Highly recommend this tour !

This tour was our initiation to Thai culture. We did it the night we landed so we could get an idea of the area and where we might want to spend more time. Noon was a great guide and was able to tell us of some good places to follow up with.

Varied and interesting tour enjoyed as darkness set in and the temperature cooled (slightly!). Excellent guide (Netty). Energetic, knowledgeable, with great English and very easy to understand. The guide and Tuc Tuc drivers worked well together. Unexpected delights, included all food, water, a wet towel, a small fresh floral wreath and a very welcome trip back to the hotel at the end of the evening. Very highly recommended.

A must do when in Bangkok! Sasa was our tour guide and she made the tour SO memorable. We tried various different local snacks, we got some amazing pictures whilst learning incredible facts about the Thai culture and were treated above and beyond by Sasa and our driver. Amazing!
