This is a full day (or most of the day) tour that safely takes you along the backways to some of the main attractions of Bangkok
But to ensure you receive a balanced view of Thai lifestyle we also visit some older parts of Bangkok to mix and mingle with the local people and experience the everyday lifestyle of the average Thai. There certainly is more to Bangkok than just temples and shopping malls.

We start with a backstreet ride to one of the iconic landmark temples of Thailand from which you get a bird’s eye view of the City of Angels.
From here we continue on through backstreets and fresh
markets to one of Thailand’s most famous temples which is also the seat of Thai massage and the largest reclining Buddha image in Bangkok.
We continue on across the Chao Phraya river to “Old Bangkok” where we break for lunch at a local Thai resturant followed by a walk through one of the busiest local markets in the city.
On this side of the river, we spend our time exploring the hidden away communities where it seems that time has slowed down and the traditional lifestyles are still preserved. We stop in at a family business where Thai Bronzeware is produced following the traditional method handed down over six generations since the time of the Ayutthaya period.
We continue winding our way through this old historical part of Bangkok, stopping at various places of interest before crossing the magnificent Rama VIII bridge back to modern Bangkok.
