How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll spend half a day with one of our local Bangkok hosts, who can't wait to share with you their favorite places to hang out, where to get your hands on the best food and show you their version of the city.
Whether you've been dreaming of getting lost in the endless mazes of Bangkok's famous markets and you want to put your bartering skills to the test, or you're up for a whirlwind of sights like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho Temple, your host will make it happen.
Let us know your pace and we’ll stick to it, and of course, we recommend stopping once (or twice, or thrice) along the way to feast on some local street eats or cool off with a drink.
No matter your preference or activity request, Bangkok caters to everyone and the opportunities to embrace its vibrancy, culture, and heritage are everywhere - you just need to know where to look. Don’t worry, your host will steer you in the right direction.

"Ida was an excellent guide. Kept us fully informed beforehand and made sure she understood what we would like to do. We are not adventurous travellers so having Ida escort us on the subway, skytrain, through the markets, Chinatown and Bangkok nightlife was a great stress free experience for us. Ida was friendly, fun and charming from the outset. Thank you"

Zarood did a fantastic job showing us around and taking us to a restaurant he used to visit many times with his family! We could completely tailor the trip according to our wishes.
