Bangkok by Night: Temples, Markets and Food by Tuk-Tuk
Bangkok, Thailand
Ride a tuk-tuk past Bangkok’s iconic sites as you tour the city at night. This 4-hour tour loops along the Chao Phraya River, stopping at several temples and markets. See temples such as Wat Pho illuminated at night, enjoy dinner and a dessert at a mystery stop! This tour is limited to 12 people, ensuring an informative experience with a small group.
After meeting your guide and small group at a central location in Bangkok, hop aboard your tuk-tuk, a fun and commonly used open-air vehicle that easily accommodates two passengers. Your city tour takes place after the temperature drops, bypassing heavily trafficked routes as you drive to locations most frequented during the daytime. Your guide provides an overview of Thailand’s capital as you take in the beauty of Bangkok by night and explore markets, temples and its food. Stop at famous temples such as Wat Pho to admire its golden pagodas lit up at night, and visit a famous 24-hour flower market, where vivid colors are in full bloom under the fluorescent lights. At nightfall, Bangkok comes alive with food vendors, and you’ll stop to sample some of the best food in the city before finishing with a delicious dessert in a mystery stop. Your tuk-tuk tour ends near the Flower Market, and there’s still time to check out the tireless city’s nightlife on your own.
Fantastic tour. Seeing the temple at night without the crowds alone was worth it.

the booking process, meet and greet and overall structure of the tour is really good. the guides are very professional and informative. the tuk-tuk drivers are friendly and helpful. but my negative comments on this tour relates to the overall experience. this is not an authentic food tour where you go off the beaten track and eat with locals. i was hoping for truly authentic Bangkok specialties in side-alley markets etc. visiting the temples at night makes for interesting sightseeing but detracts from the experience if you have visited them by day. the well know pad thai restaurant is ok we had much better pad-thai at other local eateries.

One of the best tours to do in Bangkok. The guides are great and the food is amazing. As it is at night it is much cooler. It is best to go hungry as you get to try a lot of food.

AMAZING!!!!!_br/_ If you go to Bangkok, I suggest to see the city at night. City is beautiful as it is but looks magical at night. Tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and super excited about her job!._br/_ You are able to city different places, ride the Tuk Tuk which was a great experience and do multiple stops in different temples, markets and restaurant._br/_ Would definitely do this tour again!!!! AMAZING Experience!!!!!

Amazing temple tour, small group and great guide made this tour the highlight of our time in Bangkok. A must do!!!
Review by: Jennifer M, May 2018
I would say to just book a tun tun on your own. I'm not sure if it was just an off night, but it was a pretty miserable experience. It seemed as though nothing went right and the tour was long and drawn out due to miscommunication with the restaurant. From the hours we wasted there is made the tour somewhat unbearable because it got so late. Bangkok is known for its food so we were excited to do a food tour. Be mindful if you do book, that this is not a food tour. You visit the temples, and some markets. But in fact the food is really a sample of like 2-3 items and then a sit down pad Thai dinner. very underwhelming and a better use of time would be to just visit on your own.

Great trip and my guide was amazing. She helped me out with finding a place to go after the tour before I had to leave for the airport.

This was our favorite tour in Bangkok!
Review by: Earl A, April 2018
We had a great time on this tour. Tom our guide was amazing - he was knowledgeable, funny, and great personally. It was great seeing the sights at night as well as having some great food. Our drivers were great too. Plus we had a great group on our tour which made it even better. Greatly enjoyed it! I definitely recommend this tour.
Review by: Kaitlin C, April 2018
I was hoping for more of a food-crawl than an all-encompassing tour, there were some repeats with things I had already seen, but guide was very friendly and informative, group size was small, and they were accommodating since I had to leave early to catch my flight. No waiting at a very popular Pad Thai restaurant and riding around in a tuk-tuk is always fun.

Had one night in Bangkok and chose this tour due to great reviews and they did not disappoint! Amazing staff, local guide with perfect English. Great fun and can highly recommend. However a few tips out of control of the tour company: 1. Ride on the sky train to meeting point was a complete sardine can because of rush hour so be prepared- especially with little kids or older folks - you cant be timid! 2. Riding the tuk tuk was an absolute blast however because you go to so many stops, there is a lot of crouching and climbing in and out requiring a certain degree of agility. if you have any flexibility or back issues you may be sore the next day. 3. Temples are closed by that time so you will not actually see the recling Buddha. If you are ok with that then do it! You will not regret it!!!!

Fabulous guide excellent informative tour. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Bankok
Review by: Diana M, April 2018
Ai was amazing and enthusiastic. She was great and her energy was contagious I loved it. She showed us so many different things and I enjoyed seeing Bangkok at night. My Tuk Tuk driver seksan was also amazing. He played music and his playlist was exceptional. Would definitely do this again!
Review by: Deborah M, April 2018
Awesome time. we did this our first night in Bangkok and it was a great way to start off our trip and gave us some insight to things to do. We saw the reclining buddha temple this evening and then again in the day on a best of bangkok tour. Two totally different looks. I recommend seeing both day and night. Many nice touches by our guide. Do this tour for sure.

Really fun group! Jo Jo traveled in different Tuk Tuk to get to know all of us.
Review by: yaz1_m2001, March 2018
Love it!!... it’s a must.. love the group we were in
Review by: JosephCapece, March 2018
What a great experience visiting some of the top Thai sites at night by Tuk-Tuk. Our guide and tuk-tuk driver were phenomenal. They provided us with great insights into the various sites we visited and made sure the tour was enjoyable and engaging. The restaurant we had dinner at had some of the best Thai food we had the whole trip. This tour is absolutely phenomenal and should be on everyone's list. As the write-up suggests, this is a great immersion tour on the first night of arrival into Bangkok as it perfectly shows you some of the top sites while experiencing authentic Thai cuisine and immerses you in the Bangkok experience from the start.

Fun, fast, informative, great food. Do this your first night in Bangkok
Review by: John T, March 2018
One of our best food tours we had in Southeast Asia. Touring the city at night was fun, guide was very engaging. Really enjoyed riding in the tuk-tuts
Review by: Keisha P, March 2018
amazing tour and seeing Bangkok at night was surprisingly relaxing. Bangkok in the daytime can be very overwhelming and this is coming from a gal in Nyc. Our tour guide was pleasant and easy to understand. We went to a world famous Thai place and I had the best pad Thai. Plenty of photo and culture.
Review by: Alenka L, March 2018
Excellent guide, tour with mixture of history, life phillsophy, tastes, smells and of course, smiles . Everything a bit and not too much. One of the best tours I have had. Great adventure!
Review by: Liya M, March 2018
Our guide was JoJo and she was amazing. Very enthusiastic and informative. The tour takes you thru beautiful Bangkok at night which is definitely worth seeing. Had dinner at the #1 pad thai restaurant in Bangkok ...superb!!!
Review by: Charles P, March 2018
A total blast, the Tuk-Tuks are a must. Great guide, well organized. Don't miss it.
Review by: muthayak, March 2018
Probably the best tour we did in Bangkok. Bangkok comes to life at night. With the temperatures a bit cooler, it was nice to take a Tuk-Tuk around to the various markets and temples. The food we ate was delicous - espcially the pad-thai wrapped in an egg. And our guide was great - very knowledgeable and personable.
Review by: ptoledo4444, March 2018
Late to tour due to traffic, so important to plan well ahead. Still called and provider was very helpful and waited at the groups fist stop for us to join. It was a good experience and fun tour.
Review by: Dave E, January 2018
Excellent tour, getting to see some hidden gems, super friendly guide!
Review by: Goldsteinrs, January 2018
Tour was great. We loved learning about the history and places around the city. Great balance between food and sites. I wish we had more time to spend shopping, really no time for that. Maybe start a bit earlier, too. It seems some of the nightime shops were closing just as we arrived. Tour guide Om was wonderful and very attentive. Rating is based on what seemed to be a lot crammed into a small amount of time. Giving the attendes time to walk around the markets would have been a plus. City is hard ot navigate and we were not in Bangkok long enough to return to any of the spots we saw in the evening.
Review by: borisov, January 2018
Great and fun way to not only see but experience Bangkok at night while on a tuk tuk ride. Best Pad Thai restaurant in the city was a highlight and did not dissapoint. Watching the cooks outside preparing the dishes was a real treat. Interesting to see the 24 hour flower and vegetable market in action. Natt our guide was funny and informative and tuk tuk drivers amazing. The plus at the end of the tour was being driven by tuk tuk back to our hotel.
Review by: Elizabeth S, January 2018
Worthwhile! Om was great, and Bangkok is a different place at night than during the day.
Review by: kari, December 2017
A great fun way to see some city sights and taste some great food. Our guide was knowledgeable and genuinely interested in ensuring we all enjoyed ourselves. Wat pho is beautiful at night.
Review by: sabrinariette, December 2017
This was a great tour! We had a really nice and knowledgable guide who spoke good English and helped us see everything from the perspective of a local. We were split into groups of two who each had our own tuk tuk drivers. The drivers were all so nice and made us feel really safe while driving around the busy streets of Bangkok. The guide gave us a mini history lesson about Bangkok and all of the sites/temples we visited, which was really helpful. He took us on a mini food tour and picked out some yummy treats for us to try that we probably wouldn't have had otherwise! We also went to the oldest pad thai restaurant in all of Bangkok, but I thought it was only ok. We ended at the flower market and had mango and sticky rice for dessert before folding a beautiful flower into origami art! I'd recommend doing this tour the first night you're in Bangkok because it's a great primer and helps you decide what you want to do and see the rest of the time you're there. Also, make sure to come hungry because you're going to eat A LOT of yummy Thai food!

Everitingh perfect ! Nice tour to discover an authentic Bangkok with a very professional guide.
Review by: carla.vitullo, December 2017
Tour guide and Tuk Tuk drivers were amazing! Tuk tuk ride was great, we had a blast. Visited markets, a temple after dark and a tour guide organised a table at a famous Pad Thai restaurant. Best Pad Thai we have ever had!

BRILLIANT NIGHT OUT !!!
Review by: Ricky L, December 2017
This was a fun tour that I used as an introduction to Bangkok. The guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke English well. The tour includes sampling of Thai food. One stop was at Thip Samai, which is famous for their Pad Thai. I already had plans to want visit this place. It is so popular there is a hour wait. However, as part of the tour, they already had a place holder such that when we arrived, we were immediately lead upstairs to a table and got immediate service. Awesome! The street markets, temples, and flower market were wonderful. And finally, the actual Tuk Tuk ride was such fun zipping through Bangkok at night!

Yummy food! Funny guide! Highly recommend this tour if you have a spare evening in Bangkok.
Review by: Lisa B, December 2017
This is a very expensive tour with limited food. Our guide and tuk tuk drivers were great but the design of the tour is not great. I have been on some fantastic food tours in Ho chi min city that were amazing. We did not eat till 9.30 aside from a small coconut pancake and so were starving. Not really much food and not particularly authentic street food with the fantastic vibe of eating places in markets that you can find. You will find something better and cheaper by waiting until you get to Bangkok.
Review by: LAUREN C, December 2017
We landed in Bangkok after a long few days of traveling and went to this tour later in the evening. It was a great introduction to Bangkok. Our tour guides were wonderful and our Tuk Tuk drivers were so fun. I would definitely recommend.
Review by: gaynorsoftley, December 2017
A great way to see some of the sites via Night and enjoy some local treats along the way.
Review by: liz, November 2017
This was so much fun to see Bangkok by tuk tuk with an experienced guide who was fun and knowledgeable. Everything ran on time and professionally. Pad Thai was great, flower market and temples at night were very cool. Our guide Esso was super fun. The tuk tuk dropped us back at our hotel so we didn't have to deal with public transportation. I would recommend this tour!
Review by: macross2020, November 2017
I felt sick during the tour. The guide was very sensitive to my needs and had the tuk-tuk driver get me to my hotel after I let her know I reached my limit. I was able to hang for a good 4 sites, and there was plenty more to go. Driving around in a tuk-tuk at night was worth it enough in my opinion. Kind of a bummer as the food samples looked delicious. Great tour, unexpected circumstances well handled.
Review by: Jessica G, November 2017
This tour is well worth the money and SO well-organized! I loved everything about it and would do it again 100. The mango sticky rice and flower making at the end was a nice surprise.
Review by: Michelle S, November 2017
What an amazing evening we had! The tour guide was brilliant with excellent English. He was so knowledgeable and lovely. A small group of only 6 of us. The temples at night are stunningly beautiful and the tuk tuk was incredible fun. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Review by: juicy_kitten_squirt, November 2017
Thoroughly enjoyable tour featuring an broad slice of local evening life in Bangkok. The tuk tuk ride is thrilling in places as you zip through city traffic. Our driver was friendly and always ready to point out interesting sights. Our walking guide was equally skilled and made us feel as though we were getting a true insider perspective on her culture in just a few short hours.
Review by: Sally U, November 2017
Fairly fun and the noodle restaurant was excellent. A bit long or talk and short on food, though...
Review by: Smiljana K, October 2017
Wonderful tour that I would highly recommend!
Review by: Felisha T, October 2017
We really enjoyed this. Our tour guide was experienced and was kind enough to share the culture and custom even giving us tips of dos and don'ts in Thailand. We were really moved by their mourning for their King and how much he meant to them. We got taken to a very popular restaurant that had a pretty long line however we got priority and had our table reserved so we skipped the line. The food was very tasty and we sampled other little treats along the way. The flower market was something else ... 24hours and people working late into the night waiting to display and sell their flowers. We simply admired how hard working people are in Thailand and were impressed at how practical things were and how they lived their lives. Great tour, great insight.
Review by: Barrie M, October 2017
Great way to see Bangkok, looks different by night. Foodvwascgreat especially the pad tai
Review by: Ngai S. Sandy Y, October 2017
Our guide, Aeh, and our Tuk-Tuk driver were excellent. We highly recommend this tour to see Bangkok at night when the city is less congested. We were able to sample the decent street foods, pad thai, and local desserts. The temples, flower market, night markets, food stalls gave us a good snapshot of Bangkok. Again, I can't say enough good things about our guide. She was great and gave us a memorable experience!
