Our evening tour offers a unique way to experience Bangkok, revealing a different side of the ‘Big Mango’ that only comes to life after dark. As the sun sets, the city transforms. The chaos of the day gives way to a more atmospheric and magical version of itself, with temples and palaces beautifully illuminated, night markets bursting into life, and the scent of sizzling street food drifting through the air. Bangkok becomes more relaxed but just as vibrant, the perfect time to explore.
Accompanied by a local guide, you’ll gain genuine insight into Thai culture and daily life.
We begin with a scenic ride on the Chao Phraya Express Boat, offering sweeping views of the riverside skyline as the lights of the city begin to twinkle.
Our first stop is Wat Arun, the striking Temple of Dawn, which looks even more magical under the night sky when its spires are lit up in golden light. It’s the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos.
From there, we cross the river and hop into a typical Thai tuk-tuk, a fast and fun way to weave through Bangkok’s old town. It’s an experience in itself, the sounds, the lights, and the breeze as you zip past historic buildings and temples.
On our route, we pass iconic landmarks such as the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and make short photo stops at the Giant Swing and the Flower Market. Each place carries centuries of history and culture, and your guide will share the stories behind these historic sights.
We end the evening in the heart of Chinatown, one of the world’s largest and most authentic. Unlike many parts of Bangkok, Chinatown has managed to preserve its original character. Here, we’ll stop to enjoy a simple street-food meal and dessert, just like the locals do.
This tour is perfect for travelers who want to see Bangkok in a different light. It combines fun transport, iconic sights, local stories, and street food, all set against the backdrop of Bangkok by night.
Join us and experience how magical and full of life the Thai capital becomes after sunset!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- Bangkok's traffic is notorious. Since our tours are on a group basis, we would like to emphasize that you should arrive at the meeting point on time. If you cannot make it in time, please inform us before start of the tour. If possible, we will always do our best to reschedule you to the first available day/start time, but a change fee will apply.
- The tour duration is 3-4 hours and the tour ends in Chinatown. You can take the metro back to your hotel or the guide can assist with a taxi (not included).
- 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.
- Our tour operates rain or shine. Therefore, cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
- Please note that this is not a food tour. While we do enjoy a local street-food meal and dessert at the end of the tour, the focus is on cultural exploration rather than food sampling throughout. Since the meal is served towards the end of the experience, we recommend having a light snack before the tour begins, especially if you think you’ll get hungry along the way.

Excellent Evening Experience
This is an excellent trip, very well run and good value for money. Our guide checked our food likes/dislikes to ensure she bought appropriate street food for us to all taste and also for the included meal. We travelled around as a set of about 6 Tuk-tuks and saw many other groups out and about too. They stagger the starting times so you don’t all turn up at the same spot at the same time! The four hours flew by and we saw everything we expected to and more. Although the trip says they will drop you off near a central station, we were all taken directly back to our hotels – a lovely bonus!

Great opportunity to enjoy a ferry and Tuk-tuk ride!
This was an incredible experience, though some might feel the title needs to be more accurate. We did indeed spend time in a Tuk-tuk, but the first part of the trip was on a ferry. This was perfect for my family and me because we could knock out two things we wanted to do in one tour, but I know some people mentioned that they thought the entire tour would be via Tuk-tuk. Our tour guides were fantastic, though I failed to get the spellings of their names, and I refuse to butcher them here. We went on this tour on New Year’s Eve, which was a bit chaotic but was part of the fun.

Tuktuk and street food
This trip was amazing! Loved the experience so much. Our tour guide was spectacular. We got to eat some great street food and we got to see some palaces, we also experience the metro on water which was freaky. The Tuktuk’s were just great! Colourful and fun!
