You’ll follow your local host as they lead you on a journey through Bangkok to experience a taste of what makes it so remarkable.

Of course, we’d be lying if we said you could squeeze in everything unmissable that this city has to offer in one day, but with 8 hours you can give it a go!

Bangkok offers extremes at both ends of the spectrum; from wild nightlife and racing around in tuk-tuks, to serene temples and historic neighborhoods, to days somewhere in the middle. Just let us know your pace, and your host will suggest places to visit to match which should be on your must-see list.

Along the way, you’ll try some incredible local cuisine, since what’s an adventure without good food?

You can’t see it all in a day, but you can sure try - and for everything else you don’t have time for, your local host will make recommendations of where to eat, drink and visit so every day of your trip is as unmissable as this one.

I really had a great experience with Kat. When I bought the tour, Kat contacted me to see how we can make my experience more memorable. She sent me quite a few ideas and I did the same. Once my trip day approaches, she sent me actual plan… and it was really great. I completely agreed with all her suggestions, ideas and timings. She met me at my hotel on time and there we went. We had great conversations, and she also made sure I enjoyed my time and visited the most places during the 8 hours. She was really keen on how this tour was going to be and also coordinated all the timings and made sure we went to all locations. Thanks so much again Kat for taking the time to tour me around. Kat is a wonderful person and very caring. If you are planning to visit Bangkok in the near future, please make sure you ask for Kat… you will not be disappointed at all.

We spent two days with Kat - one day seeing the Bangkok highlights and the other doing the River Market and other markets. She is a great guide: very knowledgeable; professional; and kind. We would strongly recommend her for any tours in the area.

So for three amazing days our guide Jojo took the two of us by the hand and led us around this amazing city. Custom hand made tours that reflected us as a couple, away from tourists, and into the real life Bangkok, new and old. If you wanted to experience this city then there is no better tour.
