Bangkok Highlights Tour
Discover Bangkok’s highlights on a half-day private tour with your own expert guide. The city’s 50 districts and the Chao Phraya River are best explored by tuk-tuk, boat taxi and Skytrain each offering a fresh perspective on glittering palaces, historic temples and bustling markets.
Start your day aboard Bangkok’s elevated Skytrain with the morning crowd, then glide past riverside wooden homes and gilded wats by long-tail boat. Customize your private tour: marvel at the Grand Palace’s ornate halls, explore Wat Pho’s giant reclining Buddha and join monks for their dawn chanting ritual. You can also wander through the Jim Thompson House’s tranquil gardens or race through Khao San Road’s neon-lit lanes by tuk-tuk-tailored entirely to your interests.
Along the way, pause at a local café to sip oliang (iced coffee) or fragrant lemongrass tea. Add hidden gems like the vibrant Flower Market or Chinatown’s spice-scented alleys. Taste freshly made banana roti or skewered satay from street vendors. Capture city panoramas from the Golden Mount viewpoint, then drift through historic Thonburi canals to glimpse everyday life along the water. This flexible half-day journey brings Bangkok to life through the eyes of a local tailored entirely to your interests and pace.
