Overview

This night tour was awarded TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice "No. 1 Experience in Thailand" in 2018 & 2020, and for good reason.

Exploring at night and by the iconic tuk tuk is a great way to discover Bangkok and learn about the local culture.

On this 4-hour tour you will:
• Whizz around Bangkok in a tuk tuk
• Visit The Flower Market, the grounds of Wat Arun, and Chinatown
• Explore the historic part of Bangkok, and see famous temples and sights illuminated at night
• Enjoy snacks, dinner and a dessert!

This is considered a cultural tour with food. However, it should not be considered an in-depth food tour.

This tour is available in 2 options:
• Small group join in tour with maximum 10 guests (available Wed / Fri / Sat / Sun)
• Private Tour for just yourself.

NOTE: We are now regularly running this tour after almost 2 years disruption due to COVID. We are regularly reviewing the route and may make changes as needed.

Don’t get scammed by the “10 baht tuk tuk tours” on Khao San, instead book book Tuk Tuk by night with Expique! We had Elena as our guide, and Mr Billy as our driver, they both ensured we ate delicious food (Still thinking about that jack fruit) and got to each destination safely. Getting to explore Wat Arun at night without the crowds was a spectacle. One word of advice, we ended up being late (Sorry) as we caught a grab to the start point, Bangkok traffic grinds to a halt at 6pm, get the sky train, grab bike or leave early, expect your grab to take x2 as long as the estimated time. Thanks for the experience Elena and Mr Billy 😊

Yaz was absolutely phenomenal. He was so engaged in telling us about Bangkok and the nightlife, especially the street food. His English was excellent and easy to understand. His food choices, were so different and exciting. Not too spicy but just right. The pace was good. He kept a close eye on all eight of us, so we felt safe at all times. The tuk-tuk drivers were excellent as well. It was fun to ride in the tuk-tuks. The night flower market was so different from the Day flower market tour. So wear the temples at night. A very good value in time and money I would do it again.

Bangkok is a place for me to visit to buy gemstones. I buy lots of Emerald, Ruby, Sapphires. My most visited place is at the Jewelery Trade Center where I can get in touch with my supplier Sunny Creations Ltd at 45th floor. I then go to Chanthaburi and visit many places in the city’s heart to buy few more bargains.

We booked this last minute and we are so glad we did! Bangkok at night is sooo different than during the day. While day trips are full of history and temples, this night tour is full of culture from a local perspective. Yaz our tour guide was great! He took us to all the local markets and encouraged us to try the local snacks and foods. And the tuk tuk was the most fun.
