See Bangkok on your layover

If you have a long layover at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, you have two choices: You could either sit around on an uncomfortable seat and wait for time to tick by, or you could join a Bangkok local on Bangkok airport layover tours that help you make the most of every minute. If you choose the second option, you’ll be whizzed into the heart of Bangkok for a travel experience that shows you the many sides to this incredible city. Discover the history, natural beauty, wonderful people, culture, and cuisine on Bangkok layover tours. It’s a travel opportunity you’ll never regret grabbing.

Stress-free sightseeing in Bangkok

When you have a flight in a few hours, heading into a new city can be a daunting idea. After all, when you’re not familiar with the language, city layout, and transportation, getting around isn’t exactly easy. But on Bangkok layover tours with a local insider, you can rest assured you’ll have a seamless travel experience. In fact, your local host will come pick you up at the airport to guarantee you won’t put a foot wrong on our Bangkok layover tours. Your guide will plan your itinerary and lead you every step of the way – plus, they’ll get you back to the airport with time to spare!

See Bangkok like a local

Our Bangkok airport layover tours aren’t your average travel experience. Just because you have limited time doesn’t mean you need to stick to the main sights along the tourist trail. That’s why your local host will plan a tour that shows you the must-see attractions and some of the city secrets. Of course, you won’t miss out on the most iconic sights – but you’ll also be exposed to a side of Bangkok only someone who calls the city home can reveal. We make sure that Bangkok layover tours with City Unscripted recreate the experience of seeing a city with a good friend who lives there.

Dolly was fabulous and customized a tour for us. Paced well given it was super hot and humid during our tour.

The best experience! Our tour guide, Kanny was fantastic. She was informative and so kind, not to mention so accommodating. We would definitely recommend this tour to a friend if they were in Bangkok. We’d also recommend to bring extra cash for costs of tours and gratuity at the end.

I was extremely impressed and satisfied with the walking tour. Zarut was my guide for the tour, and he was very friendly and hospitable, very amable to talk with about many different topics. In addition, he was very knowledgeable about Bangkok and provided an excellent tour of the city that accommodated my schedule. I learned a lot and saw a lot of the attractions and local spots. More importantly, I had a lot of fun and experienced more than I had anticipated. I would definitely return and book the same tour in the future. Highly recommended!

"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"
