About this tour
Build your own Bangkok itinerary with a private English-speaking guide over 8 hours. Start your day by discussing priorities with your guide—whether that's temples, markets, street food, or neighbourhoods—then navigate the city at your own pace using public transport. Visit landmarks like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, explore the flower and Wang Lang markets, or hunt through Chatuchak's stalls. Your guide handles route planning and local knowledge while you decide the rhythm and focus.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide in the morning and spend 15–30 minutes talking through what appeals to you: specific temples, markets, food streets, or neighbourhoods. From there, you're moving around the city on buses, boats, and the BTS—your guide sorts the routes. Expect a mix of walking (temple interiors, market aisles), standing in queues at popular sites, and periods of travel between stops. Pace is entirely yours; if a market fascinates you, linger. The guide shares tricks for eating well cheaply, navigating crowds, and reading Bangkok's transport without stress. It's exploratory rather than rushed.
Good to know
Dress modestly: knees and shoulders covered for temples and museums or face refusal. Bring comfortable walking shoes and a hat. Public transport costs aren't included. Lunch isn't provided, though snacks are. Tell your guide of dietary needs when booking. Moderate fitness needed for walking and standing; not suitable if you have heart concerns.
