2hr Bangkok tour by tuk tuk
We were short on time and wanted a little history and overview of key sites in Bangkok. Siri, our guide, provided all of this and more in a wonderful hospitable way. Siri was awesome and the tuk tuk drivers were great. We were met with a smile and cold bottles of water.
Great tour for kids as it’s just enough to keep their attention.

Amazing tour with Siri
The tour was amazing. My guide was Siri and she was super kind and friendly, full of energy and positive vibes. We managed to see the highlights of Bangkok with a Tuktuk.
You see all the main attractions from outside which is great if you’re short on time.

Would recommend
Siri was great in showing around all the palces in a whirlwind tour. Try to get the evening tour when you can see the monuments lit up. Would recommend this on your first day in Bangkok to get a sense of the place.

Awesome Experience
Amazing experience! Would definitely recommend an evening tour for cooler weather but also night sightings. Very grateful to our tour guide for taking the time to educate us on this amazing country.
