Embark from the meeting point on an exciting tuk-tuk ride through Bangkok's vibrant streets. Along the way, get a glimpse of important Bangkok landmarks, including the Democracy Moument. Upon arriving at Michelin Bib Gourmand Listing Pad Thai Restaurant, you will enjoy the explosion of spicy and savory flavors, as well as the amazing variety of textures from the delicate noodles to the crunchy peanuts. Hop back into your iconic vehicle and continue your culinary excursion of the city's hidden eateries. But first, have a photo break at the Giant Swing.
Along the way, you’ll take a short break from eating as you stroll through Pak Klong Talat, Thailand’s largest flower market, which only operates overnight. Fold some fresh lotus while getting to know how important this kind of flower is in Thai worshiping culture. Next up, get to know Thai wedding traditions from a local store selling special desserts just for this occasion. Take away some Thong Yip and Thong Yod to try at the final stop. End the night at a laid-back riverside rooftop bar, where you can sip on a refreshing beer or your choice of drink whilst taking in the splendid views of the Chao Phraya River and the twinkling buildings along the riverbanks before your friendly tuk-tuk driver bids you farewell at the nearest MRT station.
Bangkok is chief port capital of Thailand and one of the most important cities in Southeast Asia. It is the epitome of the country's kaleidoscopic blend of old and new. It is an expression of Thai respect for tradition coupled with their vibrant involvement with modern progress. Rama I built the walled Grand Palace, which contains Temple of the Emerald Buddha. During the 19th century, Bangkok was known as the Venice of the East because of its many canals, which served as streets and commercial thoroughfares. Houses perched along the banks of the remaining canals are still common sight. Some of Bangkok’s most distinctive features are the approximately 400 Buddhist temples, known as wats. Bangkok is Thailand's economic center. Other sights to see include Temples, monuments, museums, Vimarnmekh Mansion, and Jim Thompson’s House.
