★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,371 reviews · 4 hours · from $77

Bangkok by night in a tuk tuk, with Wat Prayoon, the flower market, Chinatown dessert, and plenty of local food and drinks.

“Sasa our guide was fantastic and made the evening brilliant, loads of knowledge served up in a really fun filled way. Mr Winnai our tuk tuk driver was brilliant and looked after us very well throughout the evening, dropped us off at our hotel at the end of the night. All the food throughout the tour was lovely with Michelin starred Pad Thai at the restaurant stop. All the market food stops were very tasty. This tour is a must if you are in Bangkok and if you are really lucky you will get Sasa as your guide!”

Bangkok: Railway and Floating Market Tour with Dragon Temple

6.Railway and Floating Market Tour with Dragon Temple

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,225 reviews · 7h 30m · from $16Best value

Ride the Maeklong railway market, boat through Damnoen Saduak, then climb Wat Sam Phran’s dragon tower on a small-group day trip.

“Oil was an amazing tour guide! She gave so many pro tips prior to arrival at each stop. The railway market was incredibly packed, making it difficult to move but that was no fault of the tour itself. The boat ride at the floating market was so enjoyable as is the Dragon Temple. Our tour guide was very informative and happy to answer questions. I would recommend this tour to a friend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 992 reviews · 7 hours · from $35

A 7-hour small-group Ayutthaya day trip from Bangkok, visiting 4 temples and ending with a local Thai lunch and museum time.

“The guide Sam was super experienced, spoke perfectly fluent English, was very knowledgeable and generous and fun. He knew exactly how to handle inconsiderate clients that were late to the tour without affecting the experience of the rest. We had enough time to roam on our own while also getting a good comment of all the important aspects. Wonderfully organized, punctual, safe. Thanks for making this a great tour. Ayutthaya is beautiful and magic, worth the day trip.”

Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok with experienced guide

8.Grand Palace & Temples of Bangkok with experienced guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 890 reviews · from $22.18

Grand Palace and Bangkok temples with an English guide, water included. Dress right, pay ticket fees in cash, see Wat Arun mosaic tiles.

“Our guide was not experienced at all, shabby looking and hardly spoke any English. She tried to leave us in the middle of the tour, but one of the participants had brought her back, to which she said she didn’t know we had other two temples to go through. She stayed, but to be honest, it was not useful anyway. The whole thing was so unprofessional… so much to see but not knowing language made it a waste of time”

Cycle Bangkok at night with a licensed guide, ferry over the Chao Phraya, then see Loha Prasat and Pak Khlong Talat.

“Easily one of the top 3 tours I have been on and I travel frequently. Tobi was our guide and he led us on a 12 Kilometer ride throughout Bangkok at night. His knowledge of the back alleys, bike paths, low traffic roads, monuments, temples, and other scenic areas was outstanding. We saw parts of Bangkok that are either inaccessible by car, or too difficult to walk thru given normal walking tour time constraints. He told us the history of each attraction from a Thai perspective and still managed to direct traffic as needed to make our tour safe and effortless. Bangkok at night on a bike was something my…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 719 reviews · from $61.31

Lopburi Monkey Temple and Ayutthaya temples in one day, with guided stops, pickup options, and real wildlife viewing from Bangkok.

“I am trying to be objective and rate this a 3 because I think it could be a better tour under different circumstances. I would probably give it a 2 for my experience. The positive points - you definitely see a different part of Thailand and experience some good history. The negative points - first, they do NOT pick you up as stated. They advertise multiple pickup points and said our hotel was not in the area, which was not true. Not a big deal to take a taxi to the meeting point, but don't advertise hotel pickup, when no one on our tour was picked up. Second, although knowledgeable,…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 586 reviews · 4 hours · from $118

Bangkok pickup to Wat Bang Phra for a holy Sak Yant tattoo and monk blessing, with a Wai Kru set. 4 hours.

“I don't even have the words to tell you how much you should experience this. Our guide was amazing, great energy, the temple was absolutely beautiful, the choice of tattoo design is very wide, the tattoo in itself goes very quick, its clean, safe and the pain is the same as a normal tattoo. I shared this experience with the sweetest young man, it was just absolutely perfect. I am very grateful for every single seconds of this experience and I thank everyone that had a part in it. I highly highly recommend it to anyone who wants a lifelong memory and once in a lifetime experience.”
