Itinerary
The glittering Grand Palace in Bangkok is an architectural wonder that was once home to the kings of the Chakri Dynasty. The palace was built in 1782 by the Rama I, the first king of the Chakri Dynasty, when he moved the capital of what was then known as the Kingdom of Siam from Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River to Bangkok on the east bank. For 150 years the palace was the home of the Thai King. Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom. NOTE 1: We do not go inside the Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew, but only see it from the outside. NOTE 2: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.
The Giant Swing 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: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.
Located on the grounds of Wat Ratchanatdaram, Loha Prasat is also known as the “metal castle”. It was built in 1846 under the patronage of King Rama III and inspired by two other similar temples in India and Sri Lanka. Loha Prasat is one of the most outstanding pieces of architecture in Bangkok. NOTE 1: We do not go inside the Loha Prasat, but only see it from the outside. NOTE 2: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.
Bangkok's Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns in the world and one of the most authentic and unchanged neighborhoods in the city. NOTE: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.
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: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.
Wat Arun, 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 one of the major landmarks in the Thai capital. NOTE 1: We do not visit Wat Arun, but just see it from the other side of the river. NOTE 2: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.
Wat Pho is one of the oldest temples in the Thai capital. It is 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. Wat Pho is most famous for its large reclining Buddha (46 meters long). NOTE 1: We do not go inside the Wat Pho, but only see it from the outside. NOTE 2: Time mentioned includes traveling time from one place to another.

After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available time slot or day, though a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.

- Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund. For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.

During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
Traveler reviews
Good experience with a great host
Ana was a wealth of information and a great host. The experience was as described; we didn't stop at any of the temples or palaces - just drove by or stopped for a quick picture, but that was what I wanted. It was a quick way to learn about the area while still stopping and seeing the flower market and Chinatown. Would recommend.
Exceptional half day experience
I had an incredible time on my Tuk Tuk tour with Anna, my knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. She shared fascinating insights into Thailand’s rich history and vibrant culture, leaving me even more enamored with Bangkok than when I arrived. The highlight of the tour was the visit to the flower market. Anna gifted me a lotus flower and demonstrated how to prepare it as an offering to the Buddha. Later, I placed this flower at the temple of the Standing Buddha in memory of my late wife. Anna’s warmth and expertise made this an exceptional experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a deeper connection with this remarkable city.
