Gorgeous temples, exhilarating tuk-tuk rides, and delicious Thai food with a local host showing you the best of Bangkok.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
We’ve carefully crafted this journey to help you really experience the heart and soul of Bangkok as we know it, revealing its hidden gems and cultural highlights. Uncover the rich heritage and vibrant spirit as you embark on your experience with a talented local host.
We’ve decided to start you off with a visit to The Grand Palace, but a fore-warning from us, it’s popular, so this is where your host will be your secret weapon. It is one of Bangkok’s most iconic buildings, and you’ll quickly see why. The Grand Palace features intricate architecture that you’re guaranteed to fall in love with! Take a moment to appreciate the Emerald Buddha, a symbol of spiritual understanding that has fascinated believers for hundreds of years.
Once you’ve experienced all of what the Grand Palace has to offer, you’ll explore the serene grounds of Wat Pho, famously known for its reclining Buddha, which is huge! Get your host to tell you just how big; you won’t believe it! One of our favorite highlights of visiting Wat Pho is the endless new discoveries: hidden alleyways and passages that lead you to new wonders on each turn. It would be easy to spend a lot of time here, but we’re afraid you must move on.
We’re sure by now your tummy is rumbling, which means it's time to savor some traditional Thai cuisine at our favorite restaurant, ‘Pad Thai Kratong Thong.’ Here, you will enjoy a delicious dish of traditional Pad Thai; we highly recommend that you pair this with a coconut. You won’t be disappointed. You know we love a food shot for Insta as well, so snap this impressive dish when it arrives. You’ll want to remember it.
No visit to Bangkok is complete without a ride in a Tuk-Tuk. Hop aboard one of these cute Tuk-Tuks and enjoy a ride with your knowledgeable local host to Wat Arun (your host can get a great shot of you in the tuk-tuk). Here, you can experience some of the most beautiful panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River from the many hidden vantage points your host will show you. There is a lot to talk about from this location, so happy storytelling (or listening)!
Before you finish, you have to try one of our favorite sweet treats here in Bangkok, mango sticky rice pudding. Stop off at ‘Salathip,’ which serves the best sticky rice pudding for mango - as certified by us, but we’re sure you will agree. Enjoy the beautiful riverside dining opportunity that Salathip offers. Trust us; you’ll fall in love with this place just as much as we have! Finish up with your host, wrap the final stories, and hear the last tales. This amazing experience is complete, my friend.
As you end your experience, we hope that our experience made you feel right at home when in Bangkok, experiencing local delicacies, finding hidden vantage points, and more!

My wife and I have been on a number of tours in Bangkok but this would have to be one of the best. The guide (Buay) was absolutely fantastic; very knowledgeable, informative, friendly l. The tour was seamless. Most enjoyable. Buay - you are a STAR (5 STARS)
Show moreMy 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
Show moreTom 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!!!!
Show moreThe 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!
Show moreHe 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.
Show moreI 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!
