Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Itinerary:
- Meet at Saphan Taksin BTS Station

and take the express boat from Central Pier (Sathorn Pier).

- Get off the boat at Tha Chang and your guide will buy you a snack.

Stop 4

- (see from outside) 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.

Stop 5

- (see from outside) 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.

Stop 6

- From the Wat Pho it is a short tuk-tuk ride to the Giant Swing. If you want to show a photo of Bangkok’s landmark to your friends or family, the Giant Swing or Sao Chingcha is one of the best choices!

Stop 7

It is located at the heart of Bangkok and in front of the first rank royal temple, Wat Suthat.

Stop 8

- Guess we are all getting hungry now, so it’s time for dinner. Bangkok’s Chinatown known locally as Yaowarat is a great place to sample some street food and is arguably Bangkok’s street food center. It’s 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!
