Kickstart your trip to Bangkok

What you'll do

Exploring a new city should never feel intimidating, and with one of our local Bangkok hosts by your side, it won’t. In 3 hours you’ll explore a pocket of the city which will help you get a sense of the ins and out of things work here.

Bangkok is dizzying even for the locals, so your host will help you slow down the pace as you get to grips with navigating, how to hail a tuk-tuk (and not get ripped off), and where the best spots to eat and drink are.

No one likes looking or feeling like a lost tourist on their first trip to a new city, so ask your host any questions you have about this metropolis, and get the low down on where to visit, and which tourist traps to avoid. Your host will give you their local insights into city life and what to do while you’re here so you can kickstart your trip and say “Sawadee ka” to Bangkok!

    Kat was amazing, showing us the city in a very relaxing yet informative way (we arrived the same morning after a 10 hours flight) We visited the main landmarks and some beautiful hidden spots that really made us love the city. She also went above and beyond to make us feel welcome: she gifted us typical Thai sweets and a cute pocket bag and she even stayed with us a lot more than scheduled. Thank you Kat!

    Zarut spoke exceptionally good English and provided a great little intro to Bangkok. Took us to some markets and then helped us get some orientation in the city more generally. A few good stories to tell us too as we went around. Many thanks.

    Doing this tour really made all the difference to our trip! We managed to do and see a lot more and even places that we would have missed if we ddin't get the nice recommendations. Totally worth it!
