“We had a great day exploring Bangkok with, our wonderful guide, TK. He took us to the Grand Palace & Wat Arun and then took us ‘off the beaten path’ to the old town (Thonburi) to experience the traditional Bangkok along the canals - it was incredible! We also visited Talad Noi (a traditional Chinese community) where we stopped for a coffee and explored the local shops etc. TK did a great job of explaining all of the traditions that happen in the area. TK had an amazing way of explaining the Buddhist (& Hindu) way of life - we learnt so much from him! Incredible tour, made even better…”

See Bangkok’s Grand Palace, golden Buddha, flower market, canals, and Wat Arun with a private guide, car, lunch, and hotel pickup.

“This tour is an excellent starting point to any Bangkok adventure. It includes most of Bangkok’s main attractions including the Grand Palace, Reclining Buddha and Jade Buddha. Preecha is a wonderful tour guide! He is highly competent and extremely knowledgeable. His priority was to teach us about Bangkok in an honest and thorough way. One of the stops along the tour is Chinatown. Since my husband and I had visited Chinatown the night before, Preecha called a lovely audible and took us to Wat Benchamabophit Dusit Wanaram instead. We love private tours for this exact reason. The fact that the tour can be molded to our specific wants/needs is perfection.”
