Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Tour by Night with Chinatown Street Food Meal
This tour let you experience the Thai capital at night and gives you a unique impression of the city. Bangkok is very different at night and many landmarks will be beautifully lit up which creates a magical atmosphere. You will be accompanied by a local guide who loves his/her country and really wants to explain you everything about Bangkok, Thai culture and food! We start the tour with a short Chao Phraya Express Boat ride on the River of Kings to the stunning Wat Arun. After our visit to Wat Arun, we cross the river and continue with a typical Thai tuk-tuk, passing some of Bangkok's famous landmarks. We get off in Chinatown for a simple street-food meal and dessert.
NOTE 1: The tour ends in Chinatown. You can take the metro back to your hotel or the guide can assist with a taxi (not included).
NOTE 2: Mondays are street cleaning days in Bangkok citywide, and many street food cart vendors take the day off. Please be aware that Chinatown is less lively and less crowded on Mondays.

What's included in Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Tour by Night with Chinatown Street Food Meal
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)
From the meeting point we take the Chao Phraya Express Boat for a short trip on the River of Kings to the stunning Wat Arun. Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng, is situated on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. It's one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples and absolutely stunning when lit up at night. NOTE: At this time of the day it's not possible anymore to climb the stairs of the Wat Arun, so we marvel at the beauty of this temple from outside.
The Grand Palace
Since the Grand Palace is closed at this time, we only make a stop outside. It is a great place to make a photo at night, because the palace area is beautifully lit up.
Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage SchoolPass-by Only
Wat Pho is one of the oldest temples in the Thai capital and also one of the largest temple complexes in Bangkok and has the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. Wat Pho maintains the title as the country’s earliest center for public education, specializing in religion, science and literature. Nowadays it is closed at night, so we only pass by.
