Description:

Ride around Bangkok like a local in your own tuk-tuk. Visit iconic landmarks, such as Bangkok Railway Station and Wat Tien Fa, before perusing the Sampeng Market in Chinatown. Then see the charming fresh flowers at Pak Khlong Talat and cruise Chao Phraya River on a riverboat.

After pickup from your Bangkok city hotel, make your way to Hua Lamphong, known as the Bangkok Railway Station. Marvel at its grand Italian Neo-Renaissance style, with decorated wooden roofs and stained-glass windows. Then board your tuk-tuk—an easy trishaw-like vehicle—to maneuver the busy streets of Bangkok with your driver.

Ride off to Wat Tien Fa, one of the oldest and most famous Chinese temples in the region, before departing for Chinatown. Walk through a complex maze of gold shops and food stores into Sampeng Market, one of the busiest in Bangkok. Sample some tasty local sweets along the narrow lanes of the market.

Back on your tuk-tuk, head for Pak Khlong Talat, Bangkok's biggest retail fresh flower market. On the way, pass through Little India and its historical King Rama I Monument. Once you arrive, take a stroll and witness the many different flowers and how they're being sold. Later, travel in your tuk-tuk along the roads around the Grand Palace to reach Ta Chang Pier.

Board the riverboat and experience Bangkok like a local as you glide up the Chao Phraya River. At the end of your cruise, your transfer takes you back to your hotel.
