Exploring Bangkok by Tuk Tuk is fun, and the best time to do it is at night when there is less traffic and the temperatures are cooler. Night tours are quickly becoming a very popular activity. Therefore if you are considering a tuk tuk tour why not take one at night!

In fact we have 4 different night tuk tuk tours for you to choose from depending on your interest. In this article we will we go through the options to ensure you choose the best night tuk tuk tour for you.

Bangkok Night Lights Tuk Tuk Tour

Exploring Wat Pho at night on a tuk tuk tour

Some of our partners call this “Bangkok by Night: Temples, Markets and Food”. This is our original and award winning cultural tour with dinner.

This is a great way to explore the city at night. This tour is suited for anyone who wants to get a great introduction to the city and the local culture. For many this provides a great orientation to Bangkok, but we still do host many guests on this tour who have been to Bangkok several times before.

This tour does include dinner (usually at a famous Pad Thai restaurant), plus stops for snacks and dessert. However, we ourselves never call it a food tour.

Bangkok’s Midnight Markets by Tuk Tuk

Tuk tuk driving past market vendors at night

This tour is designed to open your eyes to the lives of many in the city who work throughout the night. Given the fact it is late we do not include food or drink but allow you to stop depending on how you feel. If you are hungry it could well turn into a late night market and food adventure.

Personally, we really love this tour as it is a real real experience, we just wish we could convince more people to do a tour at 2am!
