Ancient City Bangkok tours

We had an absolutely amazing historical tour! Booking through Klook was seamless, but the highlight of our trip was definitely our guide, Pat. He was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout the day. ​Pat’s knowledge is impressive—he explained the history and significance of the Erawan Museum, Ancient City, and the Big Buddha so thoroughly that it really brought the sites to life. If you’re looking for a deep dive into Thai culture and history, I highly recommend this tour. Huge thanks to Pat for making this a memorable experience!

Our tour guide, Vanida, was knowledgeable and attentive to the participants’ needs. The tour group of eight travelled in a mini-bus, including through the Ancient City. It was a great tour; three fantastic locations in one day!

wonderful tour guide and driver! Ancient city was amazing.

The service was great and very much ideal for returning travelers as you can pick places that you want according to your own schedule. We were able to travel within the city smoothly despite the traffic during this trip.

Driver was punctual and the trip was pleasant. We were caught in the traffic jam coming back to Bangkok though, as a result, we reached back at about 50 mins later, and were charged extra 300B.

Ali, our guide has been exceptional. He's very informative and very patient. The places we went to were great. We just had a minor issue when my crocs went missing on one of the buildings in ancient city. Turns out it was taken by a Chinese woman. Thankfully I have a very weird taste in accessories so my husband was able to see it right away. But aside from that unfortunate experience, the rest of the trip was fun. Though I think Ali was frustrated since we're not buying anything on the market 😂I highly recommend Ali as a tour guide and photographer as well 👌

This one-day tour of the old city was such a great value, and it's all thanks to our guide, Michael Jackson (who calls himself the Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand)! He was full of energy all day, and his professionalism was absolutely top-notch. He's Thai, but he speaks fluent Chinese and English. When he explained the dynasty history in Chinese, his logic was incredibly clear, and there were no communication barriers at all. What impressed us most was that he even prepared beautiful historical materials and before-and-after comparison images, allowing us to compare the current state of the historical sites with how they looked in the past. History instantly came to life, and it wasn't just about looking at stone buildings anymore. During the tour, he was also very patient in teaching us to speak Thai. Under the hot Bangkok sun, he always thoughtfully helped us find shady spots to take pictures and listen to his explanations, making the tour relaxing and comfortable for us. I really hope every group can meet a guide as excellent as Michael Jackson. He added so much to this trip! If you have the chance to join this tour, be sure to request this "Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand!"

When visiting Phuket, island hopping and water activities are definitely the most enjoyable, but the boat rides can be quite long. It's essential to get a good night's sleep the night before, otherwise, the next day's boat trip will be unbearable. I recommend purchasing your tour online in advance; they will contact you via email regarding hotel pickup times. We had a comfortable, spacious 9-seater shared van. Upon arriving at the pier, there were coffee, drinks, some small cookies, and toast available, which is great for anyone who didn't have time for breakfast. Bottled water is free on the boat, and lunch is a buffet served on Phi Phi Island. On the return trip, fruit is provided. You don't need to bring much money if you don't plan on making additional purchases. At the end, the guide individually asked for tips (though you don't have to give one), which felt a bit awkward, but I was very grateful to the captain and crew, so I did tip them.
