The concept:
Bangkok is a city that never sleeps. Its nightlife is legendary, but many of the most beautiful parts of the city are often overlooked at night. On this Bangkok night tour you will travel by tuk tuk to explore Bangkok's markets, temples and food, under the night lights. Seeing the sites at night brings out the true excitement, beauty and mystery of the city.
This is a perfect tour to get to know the city better. Whether it is your first night in the city or you have been many times before, we are confident you will discover something new.
The Plan:
The tour starts on the Thonburi side of the river, which is traditionally more residential.
After meeting the guide and other group members at Krung Thonburi BTS station (the first station once you cross the river), your guide will introduce you to your driver and as a group you will start your journey whizzing around Bangkok.
You will first stop at a local market where we will pick up snacks and explore market life from a locals perspective. You will then continue to a local temple that is beautiful at night, for an introduction to Buddhism and Thai beliefs.
You will then cross the river and visit the local Bangkok night markets including the 24-hour Flower market where the vivid colours come alive under the fluorescent lights, at a time when flowers are starting to get delivered. You will then explore the historic heart of Bangkok. Visit the center of Bangkok old town at The Giant Swing, one of the icons of Bangkok and sightseeing Rattanakosin Island.
Along the way you will stop to sample some of the best food in the city, whether it be random snacks in the first market, a main meal at a local restaurant, or a dessert stop in Chinatown at the end. You will not go hungry so no need to eat beforehand! There are also vegetarian food options available throughout.
At the end of the tour, we will return you to your hotel (within a limited distance) or help you find your way to wherever you are going next.
For most of the tour we will get around by tuk tuk and while we cannot promise it, we will hopefully encounter very little traffic. The tour lasts 4 hours and for those who want to get the full night experiences still have time to check out more of the diverse nightlife.
