About this activity
What you'll do

On this customised city experience discover Bangkok's Thonburi. This off the beaten path neighbourhood has stayed off the tourist trail, and is still home to a tight-knit local Thai community. Although just on the western banks of the river, most tourists never venture further than visiting the magnificent Wat Arun, or the 'Temple of the Dawn' that Thonburi is home to.

Your Host, who's been specially matched to suit your personality, needs and wishes, will reveal the districts lesser well known landmarks, like the Tonson Monsque (which is the oldest in Bangkok) Wat Kalayanamit (another temple that is often overlooked) and Wichai Prasit Fort. 

Visit the Artist's House, a welcoming and creative enclave where you'll find a gallery showing traditional art, a coffee shop and traditional Thai puppet shows. 

Explore Talat Phlu, where you'll be the only visitor in sight, and enjoy some local cuisine - this is such a local neighbourhood that no menus or signs are written in English, but your Host will help you order. 

Explore the Khlongs (canals) by taking a boat which will glide through the neighbourhood, and give you a unique perspective of local life. or perhaps the Klong Lad Mayom floating market if you're visiting over the weekend.
