Day 1: Bangkok ArrivalWhen you first arrive in Bangkok, you might be feeling a little tired and jet-lagged. This is the time to make things as easy for yourself as possible, avoiding unnecessary hassle on your arrival into Bangkok. Even the most weathered travellers prefer to have their arrival transfer and Bangkok hotel booked in advance, to save time and energy after their long flight. You'll be collected from the airport arrivals gate and taken directly to your Bangkok hotel so you can relax and refresh. You'll stay in a cosy Bangkok hotel with swimming pool in the centre of town, within easy walking distance of Khao San Road. The accommodation is comfortable and all of the rooms are fully-equipped with air conditioning. The most important sites can be easily reached by taxi or express river boat. Breakfast is of course included. |

Day 2: Tuk Tuks and Longtails day tour
This morning you'll be met by your guide in the lobby of your hotel, and together you'll embark on an exciting drive through Bangkok by tuk-tuk. You'll travel to Thewet river pier where you will first visit the local 'fresh market and then board a classic longtail boat! Your boat journey will give you a great insight into how much the city life still revolves around the river and its network of 'klongs' (canals). In some ways it is a trip through the past where you'll see wooden houses on stilts, local folks doing their laundry in the klongs, monitor lizards suddenly swimming by, and lots of other fascinating sights. Back at the pier again your guide will return you to your hotel by tuktuk! You should be back before noon, and the rest of your day is free to explore the city. |
Alternatively, just let us know if you think you might be interested in exploring Bangkok by bike. With this optional tour you'll be taken off the beaten track into the backstreets of Bangkok. Tourists don’t really visit this area, and you may get the sensation that you are what’s on show as the locals offer friendly waves as you cycle past.With your guide you’ll walk your bike through a local market, and take it on the ferry across the river. This side of the river is a green oasis, with a warren of narrow paths alongside the ‘khlongs’, the famous canals of Old Bangkok. Local houses lie along these paths, which are the only way of getting around. Finally, you'll load the bikes onto a boat and return to the city along the Chao Praya River. Just let your travel specialist know if you would like to add this to your Bangkok travel itinerary. |
