Itinerary

1

From the meeting point we travel by Chao Phraya Express Boat to one of Bangkok's most famous temples. Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn), locally known as Wat Chaeng, is situated on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. It's one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples and absolutely stunning when lit up at night. The best time to photograph the Wat Arun is in the evening! NOTE 1: The total time includes traveling time from the meeting point at Saphan Taksin to Wat Arun. NOTE 2: At this time of the day it's not possible anymore to climb the stairs of the Wat Arun, so we marvel at the beauty of this temple from outside.

Duration: 1 hourAdmission: NOT_APPLICABLE
2

Since the Grand Palace is closed at this time, we only make a stop outside. It is a great place to make a photo at night, because the palace area is beautifully lit up.

Duration: 20 minAdmission: NOT_APPLICABLE
3

Pass by: Wat Pho is one of the oldest temples in the Thai capital and also one of the largest temple complexes in Bangkok and has the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. Wat Pho maintains the title as the country’s earliest center for public education, specializing in religion, science and literature. Nowadays it is closed at night, so we only pass by.

Admission: NOT_APPLICABLE

Pak Khlong Talat is Thailand’s largest wholesale flower market and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pak Khlong Talat means 'market at the mouth of the canal' in Thai. The area originally started as a floating market in the early 18th century. Later, in the 19th century, the area became a large fish market. In the 1950s the area eventually developed into the current Flower Market. NOTE: Total time is including traveling time from the previous stop.

Duration: 45 minAdmission: NOT_APPLICABLE
5

The Giant Swing (Sao Chingcha) is a religious structure. It was formerly used in an old Brahmin ceremony. If you want to show a photo of Bangkok’s landmark to your friends or family, the Giant Swing or Sao Chingcha is one of the best choices! It is located in the heart of Bangkok and in front of the first rank royal temple, Wat Suthat. NOTE: The total time is including traveling time from the previous location.

Duration: 25 minAdmission: NOT_APPLICABLE

Bangkok's Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns in the world and one of the most authentic and unchanged neighborhoods in the city. Bustling Yaowarat Road in the center of Chinatown becomes a culinary hotspot at night, with little street restaurants everywhere. The bright neon lights and huge crowds that come here to eat, drink, and wander make Chinatown very lively, and the atmosphere at night is far different than during the day. Our tuk-tuk will drop us here and we continue by foot. It is here where we will enjoy a simple street-food meal! Walking around you can find all kinds of food, from satay, pad thai, chicken in different variations, fried rice, noodles and different soups, crispy duck and curries. And of course, no street dining experience in Chinatown would be complete without a local Thai dessert! NOTE 1: Food stalls are not allowed on the street on Monday. If you join our tour on Monday, you will have a meal at another location.

Bad day for tuk tuk Chinatown tour

This could have been a fun experience but when we got to the Temple of Dawn , they were having a annual blessing Thai people were dressed in white and were being led in prayers This quite impressive as this was wonderful ceremony of hope but as we watched my guide became immersed into the ceremony. This was our first stop and then on to flower market and dinner in Chinatown. As grand as the ceremony is if you do not speak Thai after few minutes you have no connection to the ceremony. After 45 minutes my guide says she’s knows we need to go as walk out she locks back into service for another 1/2 hour . Finally she leaves we go to flower market and she’s hungry so she buys us street food a flower market then we head th china town to eat supper ? It’s late now I lost my appetite at the flower market so pass on china town dinner take cab to hotel and have stomach distress diarrhea for next 36 hours and have to cancel two tours .
