What you’ll do

Visiting Bangkok is an experience that needs to be on your bucket list. This stunning city has tons of fun things to do and see - and I loved every second of it! So, are you ready for an epic Bangkok adventure? Get set to dive into city heights, serene temples, and chic cafes with a local host who's practically your best friend in the city. I hope the excitement is flowing because you'll be seeing all of the coolest (and my favorite) spots in Bangkok on this trip. So let's go!

Meet your awesome host at Iconsiam and get ready to scale Bangkok's most famous skyscraper, King Power Mahanakhon. Hop on public transport and feel the city buzz as you head towards this architectural marvel. Once there, prepare to have your mind blown as you soar 314 meters up to the Mahanakhon Skywalk. The views? Absolutely jaw-dropping. Your host will point out landmarks and share quirky facts that'll make your Instagram followers green with envy.

Next, swap the cityscape for the serene vibes of Wat Paknam. This temple is like a hidden oasis with its intricate statues. Stroll through the peaceful grounds, where the hustle and bustle feels miles away. Your host will give you the lowdown on Buddhist practices and meditation, turning this visit into a spiritual journey. Check out the temple's museum, home to stunning artifacts and relics that whisper stories of the past. And don't miss the Emerald Buddha Room – its glowing emerald hues are straight out of a fairy tale, creating a mesmerizing, otherworldly experience.

After soaking up the zen, it's time for a little luxury at the Bubble in the Forest café. Jump back on public transport, and let your host lead the way to this dreamy spot. Think over-water villas and lush greenery right in the heart of Bangkok. This café is an Instagram paradise, with perfect backdrops at every turn. Sip on some of the best bubble tea and savor delicious Thai dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. It's the ultimate place to chill, snap photos, and bask in the serene atmosphere.

Throughout the day, your host will sprinkle in local secrets and hidden gems, making sure every moment is packed with discovery and delight. Whether you're gazing at cityscapes from dizzying heights, finding peace in a tranquil temple, or relaxing in a chic café, this Bangkok experience is all about fun, flavor, and fantastic memories. Enjoy!

My wife and I have been to Thailand in the recent past and booked a number of tours. This tour would rate as one of the best. Why ?? Because our tour guide (Muay) was excellent; very knowledgeable, friendly, personable and easily approachable. A 5 STAR RATING is appropriate. Will book any tour with Muay in the future

Tom was incredible. We had a very short window of time and he fit in soooo much. The reclining Buddha, long tail boat ride and golden palace in just a few hours. Thank you!!!!

The tour was well-organized, and our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing fascinating insights about the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area. We explored vibrant markets, tasted delicious street food like dim sum. The atmosphere was lively, with colorful lanterns, bustling streets, and the aroma of fresh cooking filling the air. The guide also took us to lesser-known alleys where we discovered authentic local shops and traditional stores. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the rich culture and flavors of Chinatown in Bangkok!

He was smart, very friendly, knowledgable of the areas and shared his homeland with us in a very personal way. He designed our tour around our needs and understood what we desired to see and do. He made sure we were rested when needed and entertained when appropriate, while displaying a professional attitude about the city and country. Without his tour, we would not have wanted to see Bangkok again, but are already planning our next visit which will begin with another tour having Tom as our guide.

I highly recommend this tour to foodies and everyone first visiting Thailand. I learned so much about Thai food. I enjoyed everything we ate and the places we went to. Their team communicated well before the tour. The tuk tuk ride was a good experience. I was so full at the end of the tour. Kat was a great tour guide!
