Discover Bangkok in a fun, authentic, and memorable way with Explorenique’s Bangkok Tuk Tuk Tours. Perfect for travelers who want to experience the city’s vibrant streets and hidden corners after a day of sightseeing, this small-group Tuk Tuk adventure offers a more personal and local feel.

The tour begins in the late afternoon, when the city cools down and Bangkok’s historic Old Town starts to glow. The highlight of this journey is watching the sunset from Golden Mount (Wat Saket) — a breathtaking panoramic view over Bangkok’s skyline. Along the way, we’ll take you to some of the city’s less touristy temples, charming neighborhoods, and nighttime local spots that most visitors never see.

✨ A Perfect Add-On to Your Bangkok Itinerary

Our Tuk Tuk experience is designed to fit seamlessly into your travel schedule. Here are a few ways to make the most of your day before the evening adventure begins:

  • 🍜 Morning Custom Tour or Food Tour: Explore Bangkok’s incredible street food scene with a guided tasting tour, then rest or enjoy a spa session before your Tuk Tuk evening.

  • 👨‍🍳 Cooking Class: Learn to cook Thai classics with locals in the morning, relax at your hotel, and get ready for a laid-back Tuk Tuk ride at sunset.

  • 🚶 Walking Tour: Spend the first half of your day exploring old communities on foot, then unwind with a massage or spa before hopping on the Tuk Tuk.

  • 🛍️ Shopping + Museum: Visit MBK Center for souvenirs and stop by Jim Thompson House for a dose of culture and architecture — both are just steps apart.

  • 🛶 Floating Market Tour: Join a half-day trip to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in the morning, then enjoy your Tuk Tuk experience in the evening.

  • 🏊 Pool & Games: Sleep in, relax by the pool, and try an Escape Hunt game before heading out for your night adventure.

🌿 Small Group. Big Experience.

To ensure a personalized and authentic experience, our Tuk Tuk tours are limited to a maximum of 6 guests. This allows you to connect more closely with your guide, enjoy a relaxed pace, and explore places larger tours can’t reach.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to Bangkok, this Tuk Tuk sunset tour is a fun, easy, and unique way to see the city in a different light.

Bangkok Sunset Tuk Tuk & Longtail Boat Tour | Explorenique

Experience a side of Bangkok that most visitors never see with Explorenique’s Sunset Tuk Tuk & Longtail Boat Tour.

Journey Along the Chao Phraya River

Start your tour with a ride on a public express ferry, passing historic riverside landmarks such as centuries-old Portuguese churches, the 280-year-old Guan Yu Shrine, Thailand’s first bank and post office, and more.
