What's included in Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Tour by Night with Chinatown Street Food Meal
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)
From the meeting point, we board the Chao Phraya Express Boat for a short and scenic ride on the River of Kings to the iconic Wat Arun. Also known as the Temple of Dawn and locally referred to as Wat Chaeng, this riverside temple is located on the Thonburi side of the river. Wat Arun is one of Bangkok’s most admired landmarks, famous for its towering central prang decorated with intricate porcelain mosaics. In the evening, the temple is beautifully illuminated, creating a magical reflection on the water and offering a truly memorable photo opportunity. Please note: At this hour, the temple is closed to visitors, but we usually enter the temple compound to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and take photos. As a sign of respect, please dress appropriately: shoulders and knees should be covered.
The Grand Palace
Since the Grand Palace is closed at this time, we only make a stop outside. It is a great place to make a photo at night, because the palace area is beautifully lit up.
Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage SchoolPass-by Only
Wat Pho is one of the oldest temples in the Thai capital and also one of the largest temple complexes in Bangkok and has the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. Wat Pho maintains the title as the country’s earliest center for public education, specializing in religion, science and literature. Nowadays it is closed at night, so we only pass by.
