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.

Tom showed us around and was absolutely fantastic. He shared a lot of local historical knowledge, tailored itinerary to our needs and was very engaging. My family enjoyed the day with him and learned so much. This was the highlight of our time in Bangkok and we highly recommend this tour.

I took a half day tour of the off the beaten path of Bangkok. Kat was gracious enough to meet me at the hotel I’m staying. She took me to places that were not the usual. The Klong Bang Luang (Yai Canal), Chom Thong (Poonjai Garden), Thonburi district…it was an experience that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I had my share of the best lunch (at a Michelin star restaurant in Thonburi) and best desserts in town! Just be ready to shell out extra for transportation and food (appx another $100 excluding gratuity) as these are not included in the booking. Thank you Kat for showing me around!

If you want to experience the hidden and non-touristy Bangkok, then go with City Unscripted! Our host Kat made us forget about the chaotic capital by taking us to a peaceful cruise in the canals where we could enjoy stunning temples and local houses, as well as the giant golden Buddha statue. During the cruise Kat was really great in explaining us the local lifestyle, culture and history and she was always open to answer all the questions with her contagious smile. After the cruise she took us to a urban natural oasis where (believe me!) we didn’t feel like being in such a chaotic city and were we ate the best pad thai we had in Thailand. Shout out to Kat, we’ll come back!
