Half-day Bangkok cultural highlights tour
Bangkok takes on a different pace on this half-day tour, combining local traditions, colourful sights and a few camera-roll favourites along the way. After a drive through the bustling streets of Chinatown, you'll arrive at Pak Khlong Talat, the city's famous flower market, where vibrant displays of fresh blooms create plenty of Instagrammable moments. You'll also learn the traditional art of lotus petal folding and create your own flower offering. Next up is Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, home to one of Bangkok's most impressive landmarks. Standing beneath the towering Giant Buddha, you'll have the chance to present your self-folded lotus flower as a traditional Buddhist offering. Between the colourful details of the temple grounds and the statue's sheer scale, you'll see why this is one of Bangkok's most photographed spots. A stroll through the surrounding neighbourhoods offers a glimpse into everyday local life before a well-earned break at a cafe overlooking the Giant Buddha. With a complimentary drink included and views worth lingering over, there's time to snap a few final photos before heading back to your hotel.

Bangkok’s Floating and Railway Markets with local community visit
Thailand's markets are a quintessential experience, and two of the most popular ones take centre stage on this full day tour. Explore a unique market on the railway at Maeklong and be embraced by the flavours of Amphawa Floating Market. Plus, there's a taste of local life at Baan Rim Klong community. Mook, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Amphawa is one of the most traditional floating markets around Bangkok, full of locals browsing and enjoying something to eat. It's my No.1 spot for Thai street food, so make sure you come with an appetite.'First on the agenda is Maeklong Market, a rather special shopping scene set along train tracks. Dating from around 1905, this fresh produce market is one of the largest in Thailand. Feel the thrill as vendors whisk away their stock in a matter of minutes before a train approaches and passes through the middle of their stalls. After soaking up the sights and sounds at Maekong, it's time to head to a local restaurant for lunch.Slow things down a pace next at Baan Rim Klong community, where you'll meet the locals and hear about their traditions. Watch how workers impressively clamber up coconut trees and then extract sugar from the fresh fruit. You'll also learn how baskets are woven from palm leaves, before helping prepare ‘Kanom Thai' – a popular Thai dessert. Round things off with a visit to Amphawa Floating Market, where you'll have free time to browse the stalls and tuck into Thai street food while taking in views of the canals.
