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.

I recommend this tour. We went to the places that most interested us and added on an unexpected and very interesting canal boat trip, arranged as we were walking through the Palace. Despite the arrival of the king causing closure of a temple Buay was able to navigate all the logistics

Perfect experience, PK was very knowledgable and proud of Thai heritage, and took so much time to show us the city in detail. The recommendation for last nights dinner was also amazing!
