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.

Latest reviews from our guests

It was great experience. We visited exactly what i was interested-Gem gallery and bookstores and other Bangkok famous places like park Lumphini. The guide Tom was very knowledgeable and I learn many things about Bangkok and Thailand in general from him.He was also very friendly and help me throughout the journey. We also used Skytrain and the subway of Bangkok which was new and very interesting for me. Overall it was great experience.

PK was a wonderful host and was mostly able to keep us away from tourist traps, which was the brief, but no small challenge in the most visited city in Asia. As a result we found many off-the-beaten-track gems and indulged in delicious snacks and the most affordable and one of the tastiest curries. PK is friendly, charming, kind, funny, knowledgeable and very thoughtful.

Buay listened to our preferred list of things to do and took care of all the logistics. Was a great first day in Thailand! Highly recommended for an easy way to see all of Bangkok in a short period of time

Kat was simply amazing. She worked with me in advance to plan our half day tour and provided information and insight into the Thai culture, history of Bangkok and the sites we saw as well as help to navigate the city after the tour was over. I’m so appreciative of Kat and recommend her strongly.
