The best way to see Thonburi - I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. What a wonderful way to see a side of Bangkok that many tourists overlook. Seeing the beautiful houses from the canal was such a unique experience and a glimpse into the real Bangkok. The giant Buddha was a sight to behold and my tip is don’t eat a big breakfast before you go as we were treated to so much amazing food. Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Hidden Bangkok for a great morning- your love and passion for your city shines through!
