Bangkok Urban Adventures
Day tours, with a local
Want to really feel the bustling and energetic soul of Bangkok? Tours that we offer get you up close with and personal with our city, all with a local expert guide. From exploring our history on a Bangkok cycling tour, to wandering the back streets of some authentic local markets, to taking in the beauty of local temples by tuk-tuk! This city is an explosion for your senses, a mix of sights, sounds and smells. A city that we love and can't wait to share with you. Take a Bangkok day tour with a difference!
Bangkok tours open up a contradicting, yet fascinating dichotomy of being a high-tech bustling metropolis, with a strong adherence to rich cultural traditions. Set on the Chao Phraya River, you can view the boats hustle, bobble and meander its people and produce along its waters, while the iconic tuk-tuks and 30,000 taxis carry others through the vibrant Bangkok streets. Be sure to check out some of the experiential Bangkok tours we have on offer.
Age old customs are maintained in stark contrast to the modern skyscrapers and futuristic overland metro system. Saffron robed monks still wander the streets of a busy morning, some still living in simple stilt houses on the river. A sprawling city, most Bangkok sightseeing tours only touch the surface of what this 1,500 square kilometre city has beneath the surface. With more than 10 million people calling it home, it is one of the worlds largest. Be sure to have your camera handy when you tour Bangkok. And, if you time things well, you could end up in Bangkok for Songkran, the Thai new year festival. It's one of the most vibrant times of year in Bangkok, and a great time to visit.
If you're short on time, here's what we recommend if you only have 24 hours in Bangkok.

NYE in Bangkok
Place: Bangkok - [ 31/12/2013 - 01/01/2014 ]
As with every big global city, Bangkok rocks during New Year’s Eve. A common site is all night partiers shuffling off to the countless temples around the city at sunrise for merit-making, a tradition that helps to make the following year a prosperous and happy one.
Bangkok Chinese New Year FestivalPlace: Bangkok - [ 01/01/2014 - 31/01/2014 ]
The Thai’s sure are a lucky bunch. Although celebrating their lunar New Year in April, the inhabitants of Bangkok also celebrate western New Years, and probably more importantly, the Chinese New Year. With a huge local Chinese population, this event is an annual highlight.
SongkranPlace: Bangkok - [ 12/04/2014 - 14/04/2014 ]
Songkran, often referred to as the Water Festival is the Thai New Year. Originally the date was set by the astrologists, Songkran, was the official New Years Day in the Thai calendar. It is a time for cleansing and renewal. Traditionally Thai's visit their local temple to pray and make merit by offering alms to the monks.

02 Oct 2013 This exceeded my expectations and I got to discover and see so much more than I would have on my own. Gof is a wonderful guide that has excellent local knowledge. I would recommend this to anyone when they land in Bangkok.

10 Sep 2013 My guide, Gof, was great - very friendly and knowledge. She was also kind enough to buy me some socks at the market when my shoes started to rub and I couldn't find small change! This is a good tour if you like a bit of exercise - although it wasn't fast, we covered a lot of ground (perfect for me, having just arrived after my flight). I saw the markets, a temple and we went on a boat ride. Dinner to top it off was great!

06 Sep 2013 I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, however I did find it very long in places. The boat ride could be a little shorter perhaps. Pam was an excellent guide and looked after our large group very well.

29 Jun 2013 a great tour for seeing some of the less touristy but just as interesting parts of Bangkok. Great to see locals in Chinatown and at the flower markets going about their business - and not harassing you like at khao San rd... our guide was friendly an knowledgeable, and keen for us to try as many tastes and experiences as possible. All in all, a very enjoyable tour.
