About this experience
Evening is the best time to get to know Bangkok. The heat subsides, and you can truly enjoy the city. You will see the places that have become symbols of Bangkok: the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the colorful Chinatown, the world's largest Flower Market, and the bustling Khaosan Road. And I will share fascinating stories about ancient and modern Thailand.
What to Expect
Temple of the Reclining Buddha. You will see a giant statue of Buddha awaiting nirvana, a Hindu altar, the sacred Bodhi tree, and incredibly beautiful stupas symbolizing the era of the Chakri dynasty.
Flower Market. It is among the top ten largest flower markets in the world. I will tell you about how the flower business is organized in Thailand.
Chinatown. Here we will visit the Temple of the Golden Buddha with the world's largest golden statue (5.4 tons) dating back to the 13th century, the Chinese Guanyin Temple, and the Gateway to Chinatown. We will also take a walk along a popular street with street food. Many establishments on this street have been on the Michelin list for years, yet dishes cost from $2.
Khaosan Road (optional). If you still have the energy, we will walk along the noisy tourist street that has become a mecca for youth from different countries.
Organizational Details
- We will move between distant sites using public transport: metro and tuk-tuk. The expenses for it will be around 300-600 baht per group.
- Entrance tickets to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha are paid separately - 300 baht/person.
- Upon request, I can conduct a tour for a larger group of people and/or organize a transfer by minivan. Please inquire about the cost and details via direct message.
- If you book the tour for 3-4PM, you can pre-order a one-hour ride on a Thai longtail boat through the canals of the first district of Bangkok - Thonburi. Here, it feels like stepping into the past. You will see Thai houses on water, beautiful temples, the Sitting Buddha, feed fish, and buy souvenirs. The cost of the boat ride is 1500 baht/hour (for all).
