Such a fun and unique way to experience Thai food! The Thai Bus Food Tour was well organized, comfortable, and packed with delicious dishes. We got to try a great variety of authentic Thai flavors while sightseeing, which made the experience even more special. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, explaining the food and sharing interesting local insights along the way. Perfect for food lovers and first-time visitors alike—highly recommended!

The place itself was massive! A lot of areas where you can take as much photos as you want. The food was magnificent. It wasn’t expensive at all compare to the street foods along the popular shopping centres in the city. I recommend booking the one with the swing as you can get to enjoy and relax next to the water. The service was great. Despite of language barrier, they use a device to translate english and their own language which was very good for us. We were also running late as it can be very traffic from Siam, Bangkok to the restaurant but they managed to move around our schedule as soon as I rang them. The restaurant is a cash only payment so make sure you bring enough with you.

As dusk settles over Bangkok's skyline, King Power Mahanakhon stands like a city sentinel, cradling the glittering lights. Stepping into Sky Beach, the breeze carries the gentleness of the night, mingling with subtle music and floral scents, casually brushing against your heart, stirring ripples within. Even the clamor weaves into a mesmerizing backdrop. A gentle breeze arrives, carrying the lingering notes of music and faint floral aromas. At this moment, Bangkok is no longer just a city, but a romantic stage exclusively for me. King Power Mahanakhon, this Bangkok landmark, lacks any sense of cold detachment. The staff's smiles illuminate the night like warm lights. When ordering drinks, they thoughtfully poured a small sample for me to try and told us to find a spot we liked on the rooftop, assuring us they would find us. Indeed, soon after, she approached with our drinks, smiling, and proactively offered to take a precious photo of us. This thoughtfulness made me feel a sense of belonging in the bustling city. Sitting at Sky Beach, a gentle breeze caresses, the table lamp and the city lights echo each other. The drink in my glass reflects the night, like a slow-unfolding love song. The scene before me and the music in my ears intertwine, convincing me that – at this moment, it is undeniably the number one world night view in my heart. Atop the high-rise, it doesn't have to be aloof; instead, it can be so approachable, so wonderful. As the city lights gradually soften, I know that this encounter with Bangkok's high altitude has already imprinted beauty in my heart. The wind of King Power Mahanakhon will remember that once, someone turned ordinary days into shining poetry on this high-rise during 4 hours of reluctant departure. And this romance will gently caress the shores of memories in the years to come, carried by the night breeze. #Bangkok #KingPowerMahanakhon #SkyBeach #NightView

This tour was an absolute delight! The tuk tuk rides were so much fun for the family! The food itinerary was very well curated with a beautiful selection of local cuisine. One of the best part is having our tables ready and food ordered, so no need to queue and wait. We also enjoyed soaking in the vibrant and bustling Chinatown during the walking segment of the tour. Also loved the flower market and learning to fold a lotus flower for offering. the last stop at a rooftop bar came with an unexpected view, and that really was the icing on the cake. 10/10 would recommend!

This trip was amazing! It included a tour guide, a bus attendant, a photographer/tour guide, and a driver who picked us up at the designated location on time. Once everyone was there, we had a blast and ate our fill. We experienced longtail boats navigating the floating market and enjoyed the joy of being welcomed on the train. The beautiful salt fields couldn't offer a foot bath experience because the water wasn't hot enough, but they were great for photos. The timing of the whole trip was sufficient. We gathered at the train market at 3:15 PM, but I saw the train's departure time was 3:30 PM. The tour guide could have let us experience the scene of the train departing before returning to Bangkok. I hope your company can consider adding this to the itinerary, which would make it perfect.

The Lamaya Fire Dance in Bangkok is generally good and is known as a rooftop bar that combines Mayan jungle style with modern luxury. The fire dance show combines lasers and lights for a stunning visual effect and a wonderful performance. Paired with beautiful scenery and exquisite meals/cocktails, the atmosphere is full of ambiance. It's the perfect place to take popular check-in photos and relax. The atmosphere at the fire dance show is lively. Worth recommending.

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.
