Discover Bangkok on a private guided tour. Visit the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun and Chinatown, watch a train pass through Maeklong Railway Market, & cruise Damnoen Saduak Floating Market by boat.

Experience Bangkok’s royal landmarks, riverside temples, colourful Chinatown, and Thailand’s famous railway and floating markets on a private guided day tour. Journey from the historic heart of Bangkok to the traditional canals and countryside beyond the city.
Begin with pickup from your Bangkok hotel and travel in comfort with your own guide and private vehicle. Visit the magnificent Grand Palace, Thailand’s most important royal landmark, and admire its golden spires, detailed architecture, and decorated courtyards. Continue inside the complex to Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, home to Thailand’s most sacred Buddha image.
Next, visit Wat Pho and see its impressive 46-metre-long Reclining Buddha, elegant stupas, and peaceful temple grounds. Cross the Chao Phraya River by local ferry to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, where porcelain-covered towers rise above Bangkok’s historic riverside.
Continue to Yaowarat Road in Bangkok’s Chinatown. Walk through colourful streets lined with traditional shophouses, markets, local food vendors, and Chinese temples. Visit the peaceful Guan Yin Shrine and discover the area’s rich Chinese-Thai heritage.
Leave Bangkok behind and travel into the countryside to Maeklong Railway Market. Walk between stalls built beside the railway tracks and watch vendors quickly move their awnings and goods as the train passes directly through the market.
Continue to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and board a traditional long-tail boat. Cruise along narrow canals past wooden houses, tropical gardens, and vendors selling fresh produce, local food, and handmade souvenirs from their boats.
Before returning to Bangkok, stop at the Maeklong Salt Fields and discover how sea salt has traditionally been produced in this coastal region. Take in the open landscape of white salt ponds before relaxing on the private drive back to your Bangkok hotel
