Wat Arun Private Tour with Thai Costume and DIY Coconut Pancakes

How to Get Around
Digital
240 minutes
English

Step into the heart of Thai culture with a charming journey that begins at a local costume shop, where you’ll choose a beautiful traditional outfit that suits your style and personality. Once dressed, your guide will lead you on a graceful walk through Wat Arun. Marvel at the towering central prang, admire the small chapel honoring King Taksin, and soak in the views from the peaceful riverside terrace.

Your journey continues with a flavorful twist at Talat Phlu food market, where Thai-Chinese culinary traditions come alive. You’ll sample bold, authentic flavors passed down through generations and take part in a hands-on Khanom Krok experience. This beloved Thai snack—crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside—is made from a blend of rice flour and coconut milk.

Under the guidance of a warm local vendor, you’ll mix the batter, pour it into an iron pan, and learn the perfect flip. Finish by tasting your very own freshly made Khanom Krok, a sweet ending to a truly meaningful day.
