Khlong Toei Market

This unique half day excursion starts every day at 08:00 & 13:00 hrs from FYI Center, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand. The guide will wait for you holding a sign with your name. We walk to the largest fresh market in the Thai capital, Talat Klongtoey, which is also one of the most authentic markets in the city. It attracts all kind of shoppers from street food vendors to chefs from some of Bangkok’s best five-star hotel restaurants. The market is almost like a small town inside a city with a network of stalls selling everything from fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables, meat, and insects to live frogs, ducks, chickens, clothes and countless other items in between.

Duration 30 minutes

Chao Phraya River

After our visit to the market we continue by tuk-tuk for a short ride to the pier where we board a longtail boat to cross the Chao Phraya River, the ‘River of Kings’. As soon as we get off the boat at the other side of the river, it feels like we arrived in a totally different world. No high-rise buildings, almost no traffic and lots of trees and plants. Welcome to the ‘Green Lung’ of Bangkok!

Duration 10 minutes

Bangkachao

Undiscovered by most tourists, here you can trade the traffic jams and sounds of busy Bangkok for singing birds and a cool breeze while cycling on quiet backroads and small hidden pathways. You will get a good impression how the local people live their life, far away from the crowded and wellknown tourist areas. We cycle along banana trees and coconut plantations, passing local houses on stilts and make a stop at a non-touristy Buddhist temple. At a local restaurant we will enjoy a delicious Thai meal (Pad Thai – Thai noodles or Khao Pad – fried rice) before we continue to a well-maintained public park where we will feed the fish. If you’re lucky, you might see some of the famous residents of this park, the huge monitor lizards! Although they look scary, they’re actually harmless. Unfortunately it’s time to cycle back to the pier and cross the river again to busy Bangkok. At the other side I will assist you with a taxi back to your hotel.

Duration 120 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
