  • Amulet Market, Bangkok, Thailand
    There is probably nothing quite as iconic in Asia as the beloved tuk tuk. Picture the streets of any city or town in this part of the world and they would be empty without at least a dozen of these awesome little buggies. A ride on a tuk tuk is undoubtedly one of the best things to do in Bangkok, and completely necessary to make you feel like a local. Avoid the tuk tuk tour scams that permeate the city and join our authentic local experience instead. To really get to know Bangkok culture and daily life in Thailand, you need to get yourself this ultimate tuk tuk experience, the Bangkok day tour with a twist! You’ll dig right into this Bangkok tuk tuk tour by riding one from the very start. Your local guide will ride along with you and you’ll whizz through the busy streets of Bangkok, stopping at the marvellous Phra Sumeru Fortress, where you’ll learn a bit about the history behind this area. Next stop on the tuk tuk ride is the Amulet Market, where locals sell all kinds of traditional Thai amulets, charms, and medicines. Your local guide will explain the significance of all these mysterious items and what part they play in Thai culture. Knick-knacks and spooky bits and bobs have all kinds of different meanings in Thailand, from good luck to warding off evil. Instead of having that quizzical look on your face about what they mean, your guide will give you the local lowdown.
    30 minutes
  • Phra Sumen Fort, Bangkok, Thailand
    You will be stopping at the marvellous Phra Sumeru Fortress, where you’ll learn a bit about the history behind this area.
    30 minutes
  • Ban Bat, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok 10100, Thailand
    We'll walk through the small community of Ban Baat who have been making alms bowls for monks by hand since the late 1700s. In Thai Buddhism monks traditionally walk through the local community at dawn to collect alms (donations of food) so an alms bowl is an essential accessory. These days most monk's bowls are factory made, but there are a handful of families here who are preserving the traditional methods. We'll stop to meet one family who will give you the chance to try your hand at whichever stage of bowl-making they happen to be at on the day, it could be hammering in the pattern or polishing the finished surface.
    30 minutes
  • Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market), Bangkok, Thailand
    Moving on with this market tour in Bangkok, you’ll head to Pak Khlong Talat, or the flower market. This is the biggest flower market in Thailand and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Many different types of flowers are shipped here, and the market acts as a distribution centre, transferring flowers to other cities throughout the country
    30 minutes
  • Wat Phra Chetuphon, Bangkok, Thailand
    Onwards on your tuk tuk you’ll go, towards Wat Pho, the temple that houses the biggest and most beautiful reclining Buddha image in the country and is also the birthplace of Thai massage and medicines. Your local guide will take you on a tour of the area, and fill you in on the local stories about one of the most fascinating parts of Bangkok. This temple is one of those places that should not be missed when you travel to Bangkok! From here you can either continue to explore some more, or your local guide will be happy to point you in the direction of your accommodation. No doubt they’ll recommend you take a tuk tuk back, just to top off this tuk tuk experience perfectly!
    60 minutes
  • The Golden Mount (Wat Saket), Bangkok, Thailand
    Time for another tuk tuk ride and this time your destination will be Wat Saket, a temple that lies at the foot of the Golden Mount. Your local guide will take you up the 318 steps (sorry, your tuk tuk can’t help you with that one!) to the 360-degree view of the surrounding old Rattanakosin Island, a view which makes the climb totally worth it.
    60 minutes

These days most monk’s bowls are factory made, but there are a handful of families preserving the traditional methods.
