Discover the nooks and crannies of Bangkok’s Chinatown with an insightful walking tour. Wander through winding alleyways to visit hidden markets, Taoist temples and traditional teashops. Then catch a glimpse of life on the water with a boat trip along Bangkok’s network of canals.
Pick up at either 08:00 or 13:00. There is no better way to explore Bangkok’s endless maze of backstreets and alleyways than on foot. Embark on this Chinatown guided walking tour and discover daily Thai life away from the tourist trail.
Start in the bustling Yaowarat district, Bangkok's Chinatown. Discover shops and stalls selling a curious array of items, such as bird’s nests. Take a break at an old tea shop to enjoy people-watching while sipping a cup of Chinese tea.
From here, delve deeper into the smaller backstreets, or 'sois', of Chinatown. Visit Talad Kao, a market filled with fresh food, tropical fruits, and Chinese herbs. Rub shoulders with the locals while perusing the various items on sale. The last stop of the walk is Wat Leng Nei Yi, a Chinese Taoist temple, where you’ll learn about this traditional belief system.
Next, reach the edge of the Chao Phraya River and board a longtail boat for a cruise along Bangkok’s canals. Known as ‘klongs’ in Thai, the waterways are lined with stilted houses and shops. Catch a glimpse of life along the water while cruising past these charming small neighborhoods.
Before returning to the city, stop at Wat Arun. Admire its distinctive architectural style and take in the views of the Chao Phraya River, then return to the boat and transfer back to the hotel.
