What you’ll do

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.

What travelers think of this experience

Pamela Apr 2025

Kat brought us to all the places we wanted to see while being mindful of the heat and a person in our party with mobility issues. We absolutely loved Bangkok and we credit her with that. She spoke English well too.

Emily Apr 2025

My friend and I had one full day in Bangkok and Kat planned the perfect itinerary. She asked us our preferences and was very communicative leading up to our tour. We got to see all the major temples, try some delicious food that was off the beaten path and gave us tips for how to navigate around Bangkok and for our trip around Thailand more broadly. Would highly recommend booking this tour for a customized and delightful experience with a local!

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.
