Tuk Tuk Tours
Explore Bangkok by the iconic tuk tuk
People associate Bangkok and Thailand with Buddhism, yet it is city where many cultures live in harmony alongside each other. This walking tour visits a stretch of the Thonburi riverbank, where many original communities remain and passes by Thai temples, Chinese shrines, churches and mosques. Yet, this is not a tour about religion, but rather one where we explore the diverse local cultures. As we walk through the small backstreets we will stop to discover both the local history and sample the local snacks on offer
Why Choose This Experience?
This tour is great if you want to get a feel of local life and the diversity of Bangkok. As we explore the area just on the other side of the river from Bangkok’s main landmarks, it is great to combine with half a day of sightseeing or other activities in Rattanakosin or Chinatown.
