The Off-Beat Tuk-Tuk Tour of Bangkok
Explore 3 historical neighborhoods of Bangkok where ancient traditions thrive and seem irrelevant to the modern world. Each of them has distinct characters and is yet to be discovered by travelers in Bangkok. To make it more fun, we’ll travel by Tuk Tuk, Thailand's iconic 3-wheeler. The tour starts in Thonburi, the preceded capital of Thailand before Bangkok. We'll learn about ancient traditions, practices, and belief portrayed via beautiful temple art, architecture, and the villagers' ways of life. In the communities, we’ll zigzag through a maze of alleys to find ancient dying art, see people of different religious beliefs living in harmony, taste delicious Portuguese-Thai fusion cake, and take photos of beautiful wooden houses and shophouses. The Off-Beat Tuk Tuk Tour is a great way to see Bangkok off the beaten paths, whether you're a first timer or a returning visitor. Join this half-day tour with us and experience the sides of Bangkok you may not be aware of before.
