About this activity

Experience Bangkok by night on this unique tour that reveals a magical side of the city. After dark, landmarks are beautifully illuminated, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Your local guide shares fascinating insights into Thai culture and history along the way.

The tour begins with a short Chao Phraya Express Boat ride to Wat Arun. After a photo stop, we cross the river by ferry and continue by tuk-tuk past some of Bangkok’s most iconic sights. Though temples like Wat Arun, Wat Pho, and the Grand Palace are closed at night, they’re stunningly lit and admired from the outside.

We finish in Chinatown with a simple but delicious street-food meal and dessert.

NOTE 1:

The tour ends in Chinatown. Return to your hotel is easy by metro or taxi (not included).

NOTE 2:

On Mondays, many food stalls close for street cleaning, making Chinatown quieter than usual.

Bangkok’s traffic can be heavily congested. As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available time slot or day, though a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.
Kindly be aware that this is NOT a food tour. At the end of the tour, we simply enjoy a basic street-food meal and dessert in Chinatown. Since the meal is served towards the end of the experience, we recommend having a light snack before the tour begins, especially if you think you’ll get hungry along the way.
On Monday food-stalls are not allowed on the streets, so Chinatown is a less lively than other days of the week.
The tour starts with a short boat ride on the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Wat Arun.
As we will enter the temple compound at Wat Arun (though not the temple itself), respectful attire is recommended (longer shorts that cover the knees and covered shoulders).
Duration of the tour is between 3-4 hours.
Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund. For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.
Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
