Highlights


Private vs Join In

Join in tours provide a cheaper option for small groups of people but Private Tours allow a more personalised experience.

  • Private tours can be run every day and for any number of guests.
  • Pick up from hotel is only available for private tour. We customize pick up method based on location to avoid the unpredictable traffic. From some hotels we recommend our guide to escort you on the Skytrain to our normal tuk tuk meeting point (at National Stadium Skytrain Station). Our route however is designed to avoid traffic.
  • For private tours we use tuk tuks from one stop to another. While in join-in tour we walk to cover short distances
  • Our tours usually start at 09:00am, but for a private tour we can adjust from early morning to the afternoon
  • We allow children under 10 years old on private tours and can customize it to the needs of the children.

The concept:

This tour is designed to give the perfect introduction to Bangkok, combined by the 3 landmarks of Bangkok. The must visited places like The Grand Palace, Wat Po and Wat Arun.

The Plan:

Meet your guide at Navy Wives Association Shop at Tha Chang.

The first main stop is the complex building The Grand Palace and The Royal Temple, Wat Phra Keaw.

Then we walk to Wat Pho (The Temple of Reclining Buddha), where your guide will show you around.

Next, we will walk to the pier as we take the local ferry across the river for our final stop at Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn). The order of the stops may change based on what makes the most sense on the day.

At the end of the tour the guide will help you get to the nearest MRT Station or guide you to where you need to go. (Exclude MRT Ticket).

For most of the tour we will get around by walking and tuk tuk (for private tours) and while we cannot promise it, we will hopefully encounter very little traffic.

Dress Code: Grand Palace and the temples required the appropriate dress code. To show respect you should not wear shorts above knees and do not wear sleeveless shirts or show shoulders. Avoid tank tops, sleeveless shirts, singlet, any see through shirt, short pants, legging, or any tight-fitting stretch pants.

Getting to the meeting point: Please allow plenty of time and aim to arrive 15 minutes early. The traffic can be bad, especially in the morning, and we suggest you take public transport and avoid taxi where possible. If you have any issues please call us.

Minimum Age: There is a minimum age of 10 years old for this tour. This aimed to maintain the group dynamics. For families with small children we encourage a private tour (we can start earlier and customize) or consider our Family Canal and Tuk Tuk Adventure.

Moderate amounts of walking are required: The tour also includes walks in the Grand Palace and temples. Customers who have walking difficulty or wheelchair needed are recommended a private tour so we can customize the tour to suite your requirement.

If it rains it is more fun: We run the tour throughout the year and have never had to cancel a tour due to rain. If it rain we will provide rain ponchos. You may get a little wet but if you bring a positive attitude you may discover it is even more memorable:

This is an alcohol free tour and please be aware that it is illegal to drink in the tuk tuk. We reserve the right to stop the tour if there is drunken behaviour. We do provide soft drinks throughout the tour.

It is a walking tour but in private tour we travel by Tuk Tuk:

  • - This tour is a day time tour when the temperature is warm. We find most people enjoy it but are aware that some people will not.

Make a Booking:

  • - Advanced booking is required.
  • - If you have special requests or a large group we can customize this tour as a private tour for you.

We want you to feel comfortable during a tour with us, but we are also conscious that at the moment there are a wide range of attitudes.

You will need to share a tuk tuk with the guide so it is impossible to social distance perfectly. We do take the following precautions:

  • – Guides and drivers will wear masks as determined by current best practice.
  • – We hope customers will wear masks in line with the current practices of locals.
A 1,000THB per booking change fee may be imposed for date changes within 24 hours of the confirmed date. For full T&Cs please visit https://www.expique.com/about/terms-conditions/
