Start the day with our “Active & Responsible Bangkok” tour — ride the Skytrain, explore the Chao Phraya River, and visit iconic temples like Wat Arun, the Grand Palace, and Wat Pho, all by tuk-tuk.
Evening optional: Dive into a tuk-tuk street food tour through Chinatown for a fun, flavorful, and local dinner experience.
