Our driver, Mr Eak, was polite and gentle. He was always punctual and though he doesn’t speak much English, he tried to provide us with some simple information about the places of interest at Khao Yai through Google translation. Having a driver to ferry you around Khao Yai from Bangkok is a wise decision. The drive from Bangkok to Khao Yai alone takes more than 3 hours and having an experienced driver to navigate the traffic of Bangkok towards Khao Yai really makes the trip a lot more enjoyable and a lot less tiring.

We were a family group and he handled queries efficiently and in a friendly and proactive manner. He even install a translation in Tagalog so easy to understand.Excellent service, always quick response to enquiries. Thank you, would use service again.

Loved the idea of having the flexibility to plan and set off whichever time we want. Our driver and guide (toam) is punctual and car is clean and spacious. he speaks a little english but no worries as google translate solved most of the communications. the places the itineary recommends is quite relaxing and not so tiring on my family, especially that i am travelling with little kids. One great aspect of this package is the pick up and drop off at downtown bangkok. Saves me a great deal of time and hassle in arranging transport. overall would recommend others for this tour package.

We were 10 minutes late, but luckily the whole group was our own people. The tour guide told us to take our time and not be too nervous. The whole process was smooth and the pace wasn't too tight. When we were about to leave, the tour guide asked us where we wanted to go, and even took us to catch the boat and took care of the ticket issues. She's really nice and speaks Chinese very well. Highly recommended.

Booked a one day 10 hour self customised tour with Klook provided by Green Mango holiday. The assigned driver Mr Way was a friendly courteous guy. We had an affordable local lunch along the way recommended by him when we didn’t know where to eat. We had an enjoyable and fruitful trip to Nakhon Pathom. Even though we didn’t have a guide with us, it was easy to communicate with the driver using Google Translate. Highly recommend folks out there to do a bit of homework through the internet and just book a transport with driver to this destination. It’s much cheaper than booking a join in day trip. We went to Don Wai Floating market, Srisathong temple, wat klang bang phra, Nakhon pathom chedi and enjoyed an afternoon coffee at Lamps specialty coffee! Thanks to Mr Way for the fantastic time we had in Nakhon Pathom!

We had an amazing day visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market. Our tour guide, Apple, truly made the experience unforgettable. She was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, teaching us about Thai culture, useful phrases, how to barter respectfully, and recommending delicious local food to try. The stop at the coconut farm was surprisingly interesting, where we learnt about coconut farming and enjoyed browsing the fresh drinks and handmade coconut products. The floating market was vibrant and fun, although many stalls sold similar items. We loved exploring the canals and soaking up the atmosphere. The Maeklong Railway Market was a real highlight—we were lucky enough to see the train pass through twice! Watching the vendors quickly move their stalls was fascinating. The souvenirs here were also some of the cheapest we found in Thailand. Overall, this was a fantastic, well-organised tour we highly recommend it!

This tour was worth it. It was a great way to explore the safari at our own pace too. Shout out to our guide, Chopin, she's funny, chill, and kept the vibes up the whole time and made the tour way more fun. Had an awesome time and would totally do it again.

What to know before visiting Bangkok

Top Attractions in Bangkok City, Thailand

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew

When you visit Bangkok, the Grand Palace is a must-see. It’s the city’s most famous landmark, home to Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The golden roofs and detailed Thai architecture show Bangkok’s royal history and rich cultural heritage.

Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)

Across the Chao Phraya River from the Grand Palace, Wat Arun is one of the most beautiful temples in Bangkok. You can climb its tall central tower for amazing city views, especially during sunrise or sunset when the temple glows in the light.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

Shop like a local at Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok’s most famous shopping spots. With thousands of stalls, you’ll find clothes, art, plants, and souvenirs. Don’t forget to try the local street food, from mango sticky rice to coconut ice cream.

Khao San Road

For a taste of Bangkok’s nightlife, head to Khao San Road. The street is filled with bars, live music, and food stalls that stay open late. It’s also a nice place to meet other travelers and experience Bangkok’s energetic atmosphere.

Siam Paragon and MBK Center

In Bangkok’s city center, Siam Paragon and MBK Center are two of the largest shopping malls. You’ll find fashion stores, restaurants, and even aquariums inside. It’s the perfect spot to cool off, shop, and enjoy modern Bangkok life.

Tips before visiting Bangkok

1. Stay Connected with an eSIM

Before arriving in Bangkok, set up a Thailand eSIM so you can easily use maps, translation apps, and rideshare services like Grab. You can buy one online before your trip or at Bangkok International Airport. Having internet access makes getting around the Bangkok metropolis much easier.

2. Dress Code at Religious Sites

When visiting Bangkok’s temples, like the Grand Palace or Wat Pho, you must dress modestly. Cover your shoulders and knees, and avoid sleeveless tops or short skirts. Respecting the dress code shows appreciation for Thai culture and local traditions.

3. Greeting Customs

The traditional Thai greeting is the wai, you press your palms together and give a small bow. You’ll often see this gesture when meeting locals or thanking someone in Bangkok. It’s a polite and respectful way to connect with people during your visit.

4. Tipping Practices

Tipping isn’t required in Bangkok, but it’s always appreciated. Leave small change for good service at restaurants, hotels, or taxis. Even a small tip shows gratitude and helps support the friendly service culture in Bangkok.

5. Market Haggling

Shopping at places like Chatuchak Weekend Market or Patpong Night Market is a fun part of visiting Bangkok. Bargaining is normal, so don’t be shy to negotiate politely for a better price.
