Bangkok, Thailand

Get a close-up look at local life via public transportation during this half-day sightseeing tour of Bangkok. With your guide, you'll discover another side to the city at bustling markets and temples, including the UNESCO-awarded Wat Prayoon. Admire the view of the Chao Phraya River, the biggest waterway in Bangkok.

Meet your guide at your centrally located hotel and set out to discover Bangkok. Travel by Skytrain to the Chao Phraya River and board a public taxi boat for a ride to a flower and vegetable wholesale market.
