This 3-4 hour tour in Bangkok starts with a short ride on the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Wat Arun, also called the Temple of Dawn, located on the Thonburi side of the river. Though the temple is closed at night, the tour includes time to enter the temple grounds for photos and to enjoy the lit-up scene. Dress with shoulders and knees covered as a sign of respect. Next, the group crosses the river by ferry and continues by tuk-tuk past several illuminated landmarks including the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. The Grand Palace, built in 1782, is viewed from outside with its glowing walls and golden rooftops, while Wat Pho, known for its Reclining Buddha and as Thailand's first education center, is admired from the street since it is closed at night. The tour also stops at Pak Khlong Talat, Bangkok’s large 24-hour flower market, where you can see fresh flowers and garland makers at work. Then the tuk-tuk visits Sao Chingcha, the Giant Swing, a tall red structure in front of Wat Suthat with historical significance dating back to the 18th century. The final stop is in Chinatown, where the tuk-tuk drops off for a walk through Yaowarat Road’s lively streets. Here, you will have a simple street food meal and dessert. On Mondays, when many food stalls close for street cleaning, an alternative location will be provided for the meal. Return from Chinatown is by metro or taxi, which is not included. The tour includes all transportation by boat, ferry, and tuk-tuk, an English-speaking guide, one bottle of drinking water per person, a simple street food meal, and dessert. Alcoholic drinks and soft drinks are not included, and gratuity for the guide is optional.
