Highlights
  • Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun) - From the meeting point, we will first travel by Chao Phraya Express Boat to one of Bangkok’s most renowned temples. Wat Arun, also known as Wat Chaeng, is located on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. It’s one of Bangkok’s most picturesque temples and is absolutely breathtaking when illuminated at night.
  • The Grand Palace - As the Grand Palace is currently closed, we will only stop outside. It’s a fantastic spot for nighttime photography because the palace area is beautifully lit.
  • Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage School - Wat Pho is one of the oldest temples in Bangkok. The Wat Pho area is bustling during the day but serene and even more enchanting at night. It is also one of the largest temple complexes in Bangkok and houses the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. Wat Pho holds the distinction of being the country’s first center for public education, focusing on religion, science, and literature. Most of the Buddha images on display were brought to Wat Pho by order of King Rama I from abandoned temples in Ayutthaya and Sukhothai.

NOTE:
Since Covid-19, the temple is closed at night, so we will only pass by the temple compound.

  • Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market) - Pak Khlong Talat is Thailand’s largest wholesale flower market and operates 24/7. Pak Khlong Talat translates to ‘market at the mouth of the canal’ in Thai. The area originally began as a floating market in the early 18th century. Later, in the 19th century, it became a large fish market. By the 1950s, it had evolved into the current Flower Market.
  • Giant Swing - The Giant Swing is a religious structure that was once used in an old Brahmin ceremony. If you want to show a photo of a Bangkok landmark to your friends or family, the Giant Swing, or Sao Chingcha, is an excellent choice! It is located in the heart of Bangkok, in front of the first-rank royal temple, Wat Suthat.
  • Chinatown - Bangkok - Bangkok’s Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns in the world and one of the most authentic and unchanged neighborhoods in the city.

Bustling Yaowarat Road in the center of Chinatown transforms into a culinary hotspot at night, with numerous street restaurants. The bright neon lights and large crowds that come here to eat, drink, and explore make Chinatown very lively, and the nighttime atmosphere is vastly different from the daytime.

Our tuk-tuk will drop us off here, and we will continue on foot. This is where we will enjoy our street-food meal!

As you walk around, you can find all kinds of food, from satay, pad thai, and various chicken dishes to fried rice, noodles, soups, crispy duck, and curries.

And of course, no street dining experience in Chinatown would be complete without a local Thai dessert!

NOTE: Food stalls are not allowed on the street on Monday. If you join our tour on Monday, you will have a meal at another location.

See the main sights in an evening. - Great tour to get an overview of the main sights if time is tight. It would have taken us much longer to figure out boats, tuktuks & getting from one point to another. Siri our guide was very helpful, informative and fun!

Awesome fun! Ask for Siri!! - This tour was a hoot! Our guide Siri had a great sense of fun and adventure, and her knowledge of the city sites was an added bonus. We signed up for the excitement of seeing Bangkok by night and we certainly got that - but we also learned a lot from Siri. We do a lot of city tours all over the world and this one delivered tremendous value for the price, and included a boat ride that we didn’t expect as well as a simple meal. Siri took good care of us and ensured our hotel transfer arrived before she ended the tour. We never felt rushed and we had a lot of fun. Highly recommended!!

Definitely worth it - Fun tour to see the highlights of Bangkok. Guide was really good but I would have appreciated a bit more information at some stops and a slightly later in summer to get to see the lights at the temples a bit more.

Fun ride but nothing memorable. - The guide was nice and friendly and it was a Fun ride through town passing some highlights. Most of it is fast passed. Nothing very memorable other than the ride itself. The food stop will Make you wish there wasn’t one.

Informative, sweet guide and many impressions, but a bit too stressful and the price too high compared to the performance. - Nice trip all in all - we were a group of 4 ourselves and were with 2 other groups, so we were a total of 8 people on the same trip. Unfortunately the road to the Royal Palace was closed that evening so we never saw it. Never visit a massage school either. We got a boat trip of about 20 minutes on the river and we saw the big temple and got a lot of information about temples, religion and culture. Visited flower market, Bangkok City Hall across from another big temple (compensating for closed road to Royal Palace). Visited China town - or almost went through at high speed. Communication worked well with the company and we were met as agreed by the guide and picked up as ordered at the hotel by taxi. Our guide Mrs. Pai was sweet and informative. However, we experienced the whole thing going very fast - many people both at the flower market and China Town (Saturday is busy) made it a slightly stressful experience, where we just whizzed through. There was no time to stand still and digest the two places. The food - a soup was absolutely tasteless and boring, but nothing wrong. We left it, it was tasteless. Would recommend the company some better food. The guide herself chose to eat noodles, so she probably didn't care for it either. WE never saw the Michelin place - all in all we got to see something and whizzed through Bangkok city night in a Tuk Tuk, but think the price is too high compared to the content.

Misleading tour description--Not worth the time or money - I do not recommend this tour--one of the worst Viator tours we have ever taken. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at a train station and hour and a half early just to sit and wait. There was no tour of Chinatown--we were just dropped there. Dinner was not in Chinatown and wasn't very good. We had very little time in the Tuk Tuk which is why we took the tour in the first place. Since we started the tour so early, the first few hours of the tour were not at night at all. Our tour guide really just had her own agenda--not good. DO NOT TAKE this tour--not worth it.
