In this blog post, we will answer some of the most common questions about visiting Bangkok, and show you why a custom tour is the perfect way to experience this incredible city.
What are the must-visit attractions in Bangkok?
Bangkok is a city with so much to see and do that it can be hard to decide where to start. However, there are a few key attractions that are not to be missed, including the following:
- The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew: This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bangkok, and for good reason. It is a stunningly beautiful complex of temples and palaces that was the home of the Thai king for over 150 years.
- Wat Arun: Also known as the Temple of Dawn, Wat Arun is a beautiful temple located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. It is particularly photogenic when viewed from a boat on the river at sunrise or sunset.
- The Floating Market: A visit to a floating market is a quintessential Bangkok experience. You can take a longtail boat through the maze of canals and buy fresh fruit, vegetables, and other foods from vendors who sell their wares from boats.
- Chinatown: Bangkok’s Chinatown is a vibrant and bustling neighborhood that is a great place to explore on foot. There are endless street food vendors, gold shops, and traditional Chinese medicine stores.
- Chatuchak Weekend Market: This massive weekend market is a must-visit for shopaholics. With over 15,000 stalls selling everything from clothing to furniture to pets, it’s a great place to find unique souvenirs and gifts.
Why should I book a custom tour?
While it’s certainly possible to visit these attractions on your own, booking a custom tour has several advantages. First and foremost, you’ll have a knowledgeable guide who can provide context and history for each of the places you visit. This can make the experience much more meaningful and memorable. Additionally, a custom tour allows you to skip the lines at popular tourist attractions, which can save precious time during your visit. Finally, a private tour can be customized to your interests and preferences, so you can see the parts of Bangkok that most interest you.

What should I bring on the tour?
When visiting Bangkok, it’s important to dress appropriately for the weather and the cultural customs. This means wearing lightweight, breathable clothing that covers your shoulders and knees (particularly when visiting temples). You should also bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the hot sun. Finally, be sure to bring a camera so you can capture the incredible sights you’ll see on the tour.
How much does the tour cost?
