Highlights
  • Wat Arun - From the meeting point, we take the Chao Phraya Express Boat to visit one of Bangkok’s most renowned temples. Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn or Wat Chaeng, is located on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. This temple is one of Bangkok’s most picturesque, especially when illuminated at night. The ideal time to capture photos of Wat Arun is in the evening!

NOTE 1: The total time includes travel from the meeting point at Saphan Taksin to Wat Arun.

NOTE 2: At this time of day, climbing the stairs of Wat Arun is not possible, so we will admire its beauty from the outside.

  • The Grand Palace - Since the Grand Palace is closed at this hour, we will only stop outside. It’s a fantastic spot for nighttime photography as the palace grounds are beautifully lit.

  • Wat Phra Chetuphon - Wat Pho is one of the oldest and largest temple complexes in Bangkok, housing the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. It is also recognized as the country’s first public education center, focusing on religion, science, and literature. Currently, it is closed at night, so we will just pass by.

  • Pak Khlong Talat - Pak Khlong Talat is Thailand’s largest wholesale flower market, operating 24/7. The name means ‘market at the mouth of the canal’ in Thai. Initially a floating market in the early 18th century, it transformed into a large fish market in the 19th century and eventually became the Flower Market in the 1950s.

NOTE: Total time includes travel from the previous stop.

  • Sao Chingcha - The Giant Swing, or Sao Chingcha, is a religious structure once used in an ancient Brahmin ceremony. It’s an iconic landmark in Bangkok, perfect for photos, and is situated in front of the first-rank royal temple, Wat Suthat.

NOTE: Total time includes travel from the previous location.

  • Chinatown - Bangkok - Bangkok’s Chinatown is one of the largest and most authentic Chinatowns globally. Yaowarat Road, the main street, becomes a culinary hub at night with numerous street food vendors. The vibrant neon lights and bustling crowds create a lively atmosphere, distinct from the daytime.

Our tuk-tuk will drop us off here, and we will continue on foot to enjoy a simple street-food meal. You can find a variety of foods, including satay, pad thai, chicken dishes, fried rice, noodles, soups, crispy duck, and curries. No street dining experience in Chinatown is complete without trying a local Thai dessert!

NOTE 1: Food stalls are not allowed on the street on Mondays. If you join our tour on a Monday, we will dine at an alternative location.

Bad day for tuk tuk Chinatown tour - This could have been a fun experience but when we got to the Temple of Dawn , they were having a annual blessing Thai people were dressed in white and were being led in prayers This quite impressive as this was wonderful ceremony of hope but as we watched my guide became immersed into the ceremony. This was our first stop and then on to flower market and dinner in Chinatown. As grand as the ceremony is if you do not speak Thai after few minutes you have no connection to the ceremony. After 45 minutes my guide says she’s knows we need to go as walk out she locks back into service for another 1/2 hour . Finally she leaves we go to flower market and she’s hungry so she buys us street food a flower market then we head th china town to eat supper ? It’s late now I lost my appetite at the flower market so pass on china town dinner take cab to hotel and have stomach distress diarrhea for next 36 hours and have to cancel two tours .
