    This tour takes you from the “tourist ghetto” of Khao San Road, past some of Bangkok’s best- and least-known monuments and attractions, ending with a sunset cocktail across from one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand. As you walk, expert commentary by a long-time resident gives you the inside scoop on where you are and what you’re looking at, as well as history, trivia, and healthy doses of humor and rumor for good measure. The total trip distance is about 4km with ample photo opportunities, plenty of places to sample Bangkok’s legendary street food, and lots of 7-11s to duck into for a quick air-con break.
