Bangkok Walking Tour

The perfect introduction to Bangkok, this tour takes in both the hidden world of Bangkok’s backstreets and the glittering world of its grandest temples. The tour starts in Chinatown, where you’ll see busy markets, bustling streets and atmospheric Chinese temples. From here, you’ll visit the Golden Mount, for a look across the city. After getting your bearings atop the Golden Mount, you’ll wander the backstreets nearby, where you’ll catch a glimpse of Bangkok that few foreign visitors see. You’ll also stop into a local Thai Buddhist temple that sees almost no foreign visitors. After a stop for lunch in an authentic and excellent Thai restaurant, you’ll make your way to Ratanakosin and the incredible spectacle of Wat Po, with its vast reclining Buddha and then nearby Wat Phra Kaew, Thailand’s most sacred shrine, and one of the world’s most fascinating spiritual centers. Finally, you will be escorted to the Chao Phraya River, where the guide can arrange transport down the river and back to your hotel on a river express boat or a private long-tail “James Bond boat.”

For those who wish, we can provide a private car for the day, giving you the option of driving from site to site. You can walk as much or as little as you like. Just think of it: After exploring one of Bangkok’s brilliant temples, your air-conditioned car will be waiting for you at curbside.
