What makes Bangkok by Night: Temples, Markets and Food Tuk-Tuk Tour a unique experience ?
For this tour your will need to make your way to our meeting point at Krung Thonburi BTS Station. Here you will meet your guide, who will introduce the tour before you hop into your tuk-tuk (2 or 3 people per tuk tuk). Krung Thonburi is the first station when you cross over the river to the Thonburi side of Bangkok. Thonburi has a much more local feel and we will explore both local life and history on this side of the river before crossing over to the historic area of Rattanakosin.
We will stop at a local street food market area to sample a selection of snacks and learn about the local way of life and culture.
This is an alternative stop to Wat Arun Temple due to temporary suspension of the temple for renovation purpose. Wat Prayoon temple, a recipient of UNESCO Cultural Heritage Conservation Award of Excellence in 2013 has a rich history of itself. It was built in the reign of the King Rama III which makes this temple approx. 200 years old. The temple features a beautiful white stupa which can be seen miles away due to its big size stupa. This is why this temple is a perfect alternative to Wat Arun temple
We will take a walk through the famous Bangkok Flower Market that runs 24 hours a day and comes alive at night.
We will stop at a local restaurant for dinner. Our restaurant choice does change to ensure we best accommodate the group.
We will cross back over the river to explore the historic area of Rattanakosin, which is where many of the most famous landmarks in Bangkok are.
We will pass by The Grand Palace, and while it is closed in the evening it makes a great photo stop with it lit up in the background.
This stop is currently suspended as Wat Pho is currently shut at night. Once it is re-opened we will stop here again. In the interim, we will visit Wat Arun instead.
The Giant Swing is one of the key landmarks of Bangkok and we will stop here to briefly learn about its history.
The final stop will be in Chinatown. At night Chinatown comes to life with street food vendors and we will finish the tour with dessert.
