Highlights
- BTS Tourist Information Center - Saphan Taksin BTS - Itinerary:
- Meet at Saphan Taksin BTS Station.
- Sathorn Pier - take the express boat from Central Pier (Sathorn Pier).
- Tha Chang Pier - - Get off the boat at Tha Chang and your guide will buy you a snack.
- The Grand Palace - - Then we will continue the tour with a typical Thai tuk-tuk.We pass the beautifully lit up Grand Palace and make a photo stop at the road side. The palace will be closed at this time already, but your guide will give you information about the palace and the Thai Royal family.
- Wat Phra Chetuphon - - Our next stop is the famous Wat Pho, crowded during day time but quiet and even more magical at night. Stroll around this beautiful temple compound while listening to the stories of your guide.
- Giant Swing - - From the Wat Pho it is a short tuk-tuk ride to the Giant Swing. If you want to show a photo of Bangkokâs landmark to your friends or family, the Giant Swing or Sao Chingcha is one of the best choices!
- Wat Suthat - It is located at the heart of Bangkok and in front of the first rank royal temple, Wat Suthat.
- Chinatown - Bangkok - - Guess we are all getting hungry now, so itâs time for dinner. Bangkokâs Chinatown known locally as Yaowarat is a great place to sample some street food and is arguably Bangkokâs street food center. Itâs here where our tuk-tuk will drop us.
- Walking around you can find all kinds of food, from satay, pad thai, chicken in different variations, fried rice, noodles and different soups, crispy duck and curries of all kinds.And of course, no street dining experience in Chinatown would be complete without a local dessert!
- After we enjoyed our sweet and delicious Thai dessert itâs time to say goodbye. Your guide will assist you finding a taxi back to your hotel.

Fast and Fun - This tour is slightly more expensive than others. I enjoyed the one on one exclusivity of the tour though and enjoyed seeing the sights and sounds from tuk tuk. Tuk tuks are very fast and will eep you on your toes at every turn (seatbelts not included) lol

Great tour! - Our trip was awesome! Very informative and great tour guide. Tan was excellent and we felt safe knowing she knew her way around Bangkok and spoke excellent English. Great trip to see the temples, some riverfront properties, and some good eats in China Town. Definitely would recommend this tour and Tan!

Great Value - If your time in Bangkok is limited I highly recommend this tour. The temples are spectacular under lights, great for photos without the crowds. You'll experience various modes of transport including a ferry ride along the Chao Phraya River.
The guide was very keen to ensure we had a great time, and we saw more than we expected.
Warning, like anywhere in Bangkok, be careful of the street food on offer if your stomach isn't used to it!

Tuk-Tuk with Tack - We had a perfect night tour of Bangkok with our guide, Tack. He was pleasant, fun, and informative. I loved that he even took selfies with us. He was prompt, answered our questions, allowed us time to take pictures, chatted with us at supper. The food was delicious, too. It was truly a delightful experience! Thanks!!

Misleading website and poor communication, guide was good though - The tour was "quite good" so I'd have given it 3.5 starts if I could.
Unfortunately, our whole experience with this company had already been tainted by poor communication. we only had 24 hours in Bangkok so it was crucial that we got everything sorted out and saw as much as possible in that time.
I tried to have a chat with the travel company using the Whatsapp number provided but did hear anything for 24 hours.
I decided to take a chance and booked online anyway early the day before we landed, by following the website from Trip Advisor, to Sight Seeing Bangkok which then led us to Sun Leisure World. (this site hopping in itself was a bit worrying)
Here the tour page specifically states Hotel Pickup Offered which suited our needs perfectly. I added our hotel details and then dropped the company a Whatsapp, an email AND a Facebook message all asking them to confirm that the hotel pickup was arranged and what the logistics were.
I heard nothing for 24 hours but eventually got a message on the day that we flew into Bangkok to state that the meeting point was at a station and that no hotel pickup was included in the nighttime tuk tuk tour. I sent the screen shot of the website where this was advertised, but they just sent me one of the itinerary back showing conflicting information. No apology or explanation of why the website was misleading.
So... having just landed we managed to navigate our way 45 mins across the city to find the meeting point, which is where we met our guide, Up.
She took us on a good, well paced tour of some of the highlights of the city, which were great at night. I particularly liked the way that she showed us the Flower Market and China Town, giving us samples and setting us a little test with some flowers. Really nice touch.
Would I recommend the tour, probably but don't be fooled by the dodgy website.

Overpriced - Not exactly what we expected, very overpriced for what it was offered. Guide wasn’t experienced, or at least this was the impression I got.

Not Worth It - Under the Night Lights did not work starting at 5:30. It was still daylight. We were looking forward to seeing Wat Arun lit in the night. It was our first stop, closed and the sun starting to set but this just made for low light pictures at best. The guide, Kim, was very talkative but we could hardly understand a word he said as he went over the history of kings. He nearly forgot to get us off the boat at the first stop so we had to rush through the crowded boat. He walked too fast through crowds for us to keep up. We went to the flower market which was delightful. He offered to buy us a little sweet ball of something and then a banana. Again, we couldn’t understand him. We stood across the street from the Grand Palace but there wasn’t much we could see except roofs above the wall. The tuk tuk was different than the ones we used in Vietnam and Cambodia the previous two weeks. These were high to get up on for two 70 yr olds. My 6 foot husband had to stoop under the roof as we rode and didn’t have enough foot room. Our guide was about the same size so it was extremely crowded on the tuk tuk. Kim took us to a little family restaurant (seats 8) open to the street but not street food per se. The Grandmother cooked a small noodle meal for us. We finished eating at 7:30 and Kim said because it was dark he didn’t think it was safe to go to Chinatown. We didn’t know why but we had such a difficult time understanding him we agreed, after 2 hrs of the 4 hr tour, that we would go back to our hotel. Kim rode the tuk tuk with us back to the Shangri-La Hotel because he said he lives across the street. It took a half hour in heavy traffic to return. It was a waste of money and time.
