จุดนัดพบทัวร์ Expique อยู่ที่ สถานีรถไฟฟ้ากรุงธนบุรี ทางออกหมายเลข 1 จุดนัดพบจะอยู่ชั้นเดียวกับชั้นขายตั๋ว ลูกค้าจะต้องเดินขึ้นบันไดถึงจะเห็นป้ายทางออกหมายเลข 1

We advise you to take the BTS (Skytrain) to get to the start point to avoid getting stuck in traffic, which can be quite bad in the evening. AVOID taking a taxi if possible

What you need to know:
• Please be on time. As there may be others in the group we can not wait around.
• We can not predict the weather but there is a chance it could rain (especially between May and October). So we carry umbrellas to be safe.
• This is a food tour. We will be stopping for food at various points around the tour so no need to eat beforehand. If you have specific dietary requirements please tell us beforehand. In several of the places we visit we may not be able to cater for specific needs.
• The main mode of transport will be tuk tuk for the evening. Tuk tuks are fun small vehicles. Normally we have 2 people per tuk tuk but when there is an odd number of people we may have 3 people in one tuk tuk. If you find this too squashed, please tell the guide
• The route is designed to avoid traffic and limit driving time between stops - obviously we can not guarantee there will be no traffic.
• We do go for short walks during the tour, especially through the markets, so please wear shoes that you are comfortable to walk in.
• The final stop on the tour is in Chinatown. From there our drivers will give you a lift to a convenient station or back to where you stay (within a limited distance)
• All costs are included in the tour. At the end of the tour if you think the guide and drivers have been amazing then they do appreciate a small tip.
