What Can You Expect?

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit), 661 Chaoren Krung Road Talad Noi, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand

This 15-foot tall statue weighs around 5 tons and is all but guaranteed to take your breath away. The gold isn't just a trim--the statue is actually made from 83% solid gold! That makes it worth millions of dollars, but the story behind it might be worth even more.

Note: This 0.1+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Chinatown & Golden Buddha Temple in 1 hour

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: The Chinatown Gate, 322 Tri Mit Rd, Khwaeng Talat Noi, Khet Samphanthawong, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10100, Thailand

This impressive red and gold gate mimics those found in mainland China. It marks the entrance to one of the largest Chinatown districts in the entire world. Through this gate, the second part of your tour begins.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Yaowarat Road, Yaowarat Rd, Khwaeng Samphanthawong, Khet Samphanthawong, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand

Yaowarat Road has been a trade hub for hundreds of years, but it's perhaps best known as an essential street food destination. The street is positively overflowing with shops and food stalls featuring anything you can think of, and plenty of things you would never have guessed!

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, 432 Charoenkrung Rd, Pompab Sattru Pai, Bangkok 10100 Thailand

This picture-perfect temple is a stunning example of Chinese Buddhist architecture. It makes for a fascinating departure from the Thai style of Wat Traimit and demonstrates the important influence Chinese immigrants have had on this part of Thailand.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Sampeng Market, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10400 Thailand

At last, you'll arrive at the bustling Sampeng Lane. This buzzing hub can be quite chaotic, but don't let all the hubbub steer you away from some of the best food in the city! Your tour will suggest a number of must-visit food stalls and give you a few tips on haggling to boot. Your tour concludes here, but your adventure can just keep going.

Duration: 25 minutes
