Experience a side of Bangkok that most visitors never see with Explorenique’s Sunset Tuk Tuk & Longtail Boat Tour. This small-group adventure (maximum 6 guests) takes you through the heart of Old Bangkok and Thonburi, the former capital, during the magical late afternoon and early evening when the city transitions from day to night.
Hop on a Tuk Tuk, glide along serene canals in a longtail boat, and explore famous attractions and hidden gems off the usual tourist path.
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. Learn fascinating stories from your knowledgeable guide as you soak in the riverside atmosphere.
Markets, Food & Local Flavors
Next, wander through a vibrant local market, sampling unique foods and snacks hand-picked by your guide. Along the way, enjoy picturesque river views and stop at scenic spots for memorable photos.
After the market, take a longtail boat ride through quiet canals, exploring historic communities and visiting a one-of-a-kind ancient temple with distinctive architecture that sets it apart from the rest.
Sunset Views & Panoramic Cityscapes
Continue by Tuk Tuk to a former high point of Old Bangkok to witness a breathtaking sunset over the city. Climb 344 steps to the viewpoint and capture stunning panoramic views of the old quarter.
Evening Delights
After sunset, enjoy dinner at a famous local Pad Thai restaurant, operating for over 50 years with a unique family recipe. Then, explore Bangkok’s hidden nighttime treasures, including the beautifully lit Wat Pho, the 24-hour flower market, and vibrant Chinatown dessert spots.
