Explore Bangkok

Bangkok spells color, majesty and a wild jumble of fun. Districts like Banglamphu and the tiny lanes of Chinatown continue to carry the grit, charm and character of yesteryears. Ranging from hidden markets on boats to opera performances, the city has many well-kept secrets. The city’s no-holds-barred approach to gastronomy is apparent in the local food streets lined with food carts while being overlooked by restaurants on top of skyscrapers.

See Bangkok city excursions ›

What should I wear to the Grand Palace?

Long trousers or a long skirt, and a top that covers your shoulders and upper arms. No see-through or very tight clothes. Wear shoes that are easy to slip off for the temples.

Are the floating markets worth it?

Damnoen Saduak is the most famous and colourful, but it gets busy, so go early. Amphawa is a more local evening market, open Friday to Sunday.

Can I do a day trip to Ayutthaya?

Yes. The old capital and UNESCO World Heritage site is about 1.5 hours north of Bangkok by road, and it makes a full-day excursion.

How do I get around Bangkok?

The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway beat the traffic, river boats are best for the old town, and Grab or a metered taxi covers the rest. Many of our excursions include hotel pickup within Bangkok city.

How do I book, and how far ahead?

Contact our Bangkok Tour Desk by email or the contact form. We confirm availability and the final price. Book at least one day ahead, and earlier for Songkran and New Year.
