See Bangkok’s must-see landmarks and local life in one private full-day experience, with admission to the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, a local lunch and a private long-tail boat included.

Discover three icons of Bangkok: the riverside beauty of Wat Arun, the enormous Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, and the Grand Palace and revered Emerald Buddha. Your licensed local guide shares their stories in an easy, conversational way — not a long history lecture.

Then experience another side of Bangkok at Khlong Bang Luang, an old canal community where life moves at a slower pace. Travel by private long-tail boat through the canals of Thonburi, visit Wat Paknam and its giant Buddha, then finish in Yaowarat as Chinatown comes alive with lights, street food and evening energy.

From royal Bangkok to canal life and Chinatown after dark, experience different sides of the city in one relaxed private day.
