Summary:
Perfect beginning of your visit adventure. Great tour to give you a taste of Bangkok at night. We learned so many things about what else we wanted to do and where else you want to go the rest of the week. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and our drivers friendly and confident.

Summary:
This night tour was worth every penny. Our tour guide Yas was extremely friendly and engaging. As a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teens) we travelled together in two Tuk Tuks for the evening adventures. Our drivers were great too. Yas was great at keeping the info light but interesting which our teens appreciated.
We were late to our pick up and Yas and the team were great at condensing our tour to accommodate our lateness. As suggested in the advert, avoid taxis to the pick up if at all possible!
As previously stated, there is plenty of food to try so come with an appetite.
Most importantly for our family, Yas was able to confidently ensure that our celiac (gluten free) daughter was able to enjoy almost all of the food on the tour which was a huge bonus for us! Thank you again for a memorable night tour Yas and crew.

Know more about Wat Tha Phra
You’ll experience an award-winning night tour that explores Bangkok’s historic sights by iconic tuk tuk. The tour takes you through the Flower Market, the grounds of Wat Prayoon and Chinatown, letting you see temples and illuminated landmarks at night while sampling snacks, dinner and dessert - a cultural sightseeing experience rather than a solely street-food focused ride.
Yes - snacks, dinner, dessert and non-alcoholic beverages are included, and the tour is suitable for vegetarians if you advise any dietary requirements at booking. Note this is an alcohol-free experience and it’s different from the fully food-focused street food tuk tuk adventure.
You’ll meet at a BTS (skytrain) station to avoid evening traffic, so public transport is strongly encouraged. The tour runs year‑round in rain - guides provide ponchos, rain covers and umbrellas - and many guests find the atmosphere even more memorable in wet weather.
The tour lasts four hours and visits the Flower Market, the grounds of Wat Prayoon, Chinatown and other historic parts of the city. You’ll whizz around by tuk tuk, walk through markets and temple grounds to enjoy the nighttime atmosphere and cultural sights.
You can join a small group tour (maximum 12 guests) available daily or book a private tour ideal for families. The small group option has a minimum age of 10; children under 5 must buy a ticket for private tours, and the evening finish time (around 11pm) means it may not be advisable for very young children.
The tour involves some walking through markets and around temple grounds and is not recommended for travelers with walking difficulties or for pregnant travelers. If you have concerns about mobility, consider the private tour option to better accommodate your needs.
