Private Tour: Bangkok Evening Experience with Thai Dinner by Chao Phraya River

Bangkok, Thailand

Be enchanted by Bangkok at night. After the sun sets, head to the riverside for a sumptuous Thai dinner overlooking beautiful Wat Arun. Drive through the old city to see the Grand Palace and Wat Pho illuminated against the night sky then browse a buzzing evening market brimming with flowers.

This evening will begin at 17:00. Bangkok is a city that truly comes to life after dark. Spend an evening exploring the vibrant streets and tranquil temples with a local guide, getting a different perspective of the capital.

Start the evening with a BTS or tuk tuk ride to the central pier and continue on the long-tail boat, sailing up Chao Phraya River in a slow pace to Wat Arun. See all the buildings and temples getting lit up and see passing river cruises with lots of lights. Disembark at Wat Arun pier, spending time there before crossing the ferry to a local pier. Walk through the market down to Riva Arun to enjoy a chilling cocktail. Enjoy dinner at The Deck Restaurant on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. With the majestic Wat Arun glittering in the distance, enjoy a delicious, traditional Thai meal. Following dinner, take a stroll to the temple grounds of Wat Pho to soak up the beauty of its glittering chedi at night: an incredible photo opportunity.

Please note: the Reclining Buddha is not open at night.

Then hop on a tuk tuk through the city’s historic quarter for a visit to Pak Klong Talad. One of the country’s largest fresh markets, the site is busy 24-hours a day with wholesale vendors and local shoppers. Explore the stalls where orchids, flowers, vegetables and other items spill over the crowded stalls.

This unforgettable evening tour ends around 10pm. For night owls, there is an option to explore the city’s nightlife or additional evening markets.

USD $112.00

It was raining hard when we got out, the resto was fabulous but we ended up not exploring the temples at night. Expensive dinner for 335.

We had such a wonderful time on this evening tour. Our guide, Boe, called the hotel and left us a message early in the day to confirm exactly what time he'd meet us in the lobby. Once we met up, Boe asked us what we were hoping most to get our of the tour so that he could custom-tailor stops a bit for us. We learned so much about the history of Bangkok, and were able to enjoy a Tuk Tuk ride, dinner with a reserved table right by the water, which Boe ordered for us in order to get the most authentic dining experience, and we went to see the great reclining Buddha that was on our bucket list. Later Boe took us to wander around the busy shopping district and popping night life, which was so much fun. We had some time to browse souvenirs at the stereet vendors and he even offered to let us go elsewhere and keep shopping after that although we were tired from jetlag and ready to call it an evening. Over all the experience was just wonderful and I can't recommend it highly enough. Boe was an amazing tour guide and so thoughtful and helpful to make the evening exactly what we wanted it to be. If you've been looking at other versions of this night tour, go with this one, you won't regret it!

The guide was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner by the river and the walking tour of the night flower and vegetable markets.

Whilst the evening went well and the meal was in pleasant surroundings, I was quite shocked at finding my credit card charged at US228.96 for this outing, over 3x the advertised price...and in the low ,HOT, season too! _br/_ No wonder when we had a guide AND a driver!_br/_ I think you need to give limit options on the hidden cost of the meal, especially when the wine is extra too._br/_ I could not fault the guide, driver or the restaurant, they did a good job and presented well, but either the local provider company is misrepresenting the cost of of what they provide to you or you are misrepresenting the real cost on the web site.

We loved this tour definitely worth to try, dinner by the river was delicious the landscape was magnificent, our tour guide was great very skilled and knowledgeable, You definitely need to to flower market in the evening, it was great very impressive, the open market was not much interesting but may be we have seen a ,ot these type of bazaars, but flower market was something else, you should not miss it.
