A layover is a perfect excuse to do some exploring in the heart of the city and uncover both its highlights and hidden gems. Bangkok is an iconic travel destination for a number of reasons, and you’ll find out what these are on Bangkok airport layover tours led by a local guide who knows the city like the back of their hand.

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

My tour guide (Kumpirada) was very knowledgeable, friendly and her passion for what she does is apparent. I was lucky in that my tour happened just before stricter covid travel policies were implemented, so it seemed I had most destinations to myself! Kumpirada gave focused explanations at all sites. Would highly recommend

My husband and I just returned from our holiday in Thailand. Due to our itnerary we only had one full day in Bangkok and wanted to make the most of it. Sopa was our gude and did a superb job! She really listened to what we wanted to do and see and made it happen. She was great company, very knowledgeable and made sure we got the very best out of the time we had avalable. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day and Sopa made sure that we got all the photos we wanted too! Thank you Sopa.

Zarut is a wonderful guide. He’s very adaptable to your interests. In my case he facilitated an emergency stop to deal with a damaged cell phone. Once that was addressed we saw a great deal of the city by tuk-tuk, train and cab. I walked my feet off. We saw temples, gardens and markets. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

A fabulous tour and Zarut as a guide was great. Saw a traditional puppet show, sampled amazing local food and visited the floating markets and JJ market! A great way to spend a day in Bangkok and Zarut was also super helpful with suggestions of what to do in the coming days! Overall great experience
