Sights, sounds and smells? Does it enlighten, enrich and entertain? These are the factors we had to wrestle with when choosing Bangkok’s Top 10 Tours. When it came to the crunch we decided that the best not only offer insight into what makes it one of the most exciting Asian cities – be it culture, history or back-to-nature – but are also, well, fun. And who are we to judge? Simply put, we’ve tried them all, that’s how.
Bangkok has hundreds of temples, but this particular tour is a must-do because it introduces you to three of Bangkok’s most dazzling – Wat Trimitr, Wat Pho and Wat Benjabophit. What’s more? It also takes you to Thailand’s foremost religious site: The Grand Palace, the Emerald Buddha at Wat Phra Kaew, a spiritual icon carved from jade that towers above all others in its holiness.

Some tours are jam-packed full of facts, sights and history – so much, in fact, you barely have a moment to yourself. This day trip to Ayutthaya, Siam’s war-ravaged former capital, has plenty of substance but doesn’t test your staying power. A morning spent exploring temple ruins is followed by an afternoon on board a luxury cruiser – all that’s left to do is laze happily on deck. Read More...
Packing all the splendour of the Land of Smiles into an 80-minute stage show is no easy task. But Siam Niramit succeeds – and spectacularly. How so? Try the world’s biggest stage, a cast of hundreds, and bags of Thai finesse. The first act describes how Siam became a crossroads where civilisations met, the second how karma binds the Thai people, the last how religious ceremony earns Thais merit in this life. Read More...

The pioneer of all floating markets, Damnoen Saduak continues to offer a delightful experience despite its increasingly touristy atmosphere. Imagine small thin canals teeming with longboats piled high with fresh produce, each one jockeying for position, and paddled by a lady ready to stop and bargain at a moment’s notice. This visual vibrancy, as well as its popularity, ensures Damnoen Saduak's iconic status. Read More...
There’s more to the River Kwai than elegiac WWII sights, and this tour around Kanchanaburi, a lush unspoilt province bordering Burma, proves it. Visits to the Death Railway, the Bridge over the River Kwai and the memorial museum, are tastefully juxtaposed with thrilling doses of undulating mountains, rugged landscapes, as well as activities like elephant rides and tiger temples.

Red curtains, glamorous feathers and long legs…and since you are in Thailand, may we add ladyboys? While this is no Broadway show, Calypso Cabararet is a feast for your eyes and ears. A fantastic evening involves a string of dazzling performances by a wildly talented troupe of transvestite dancers, entertainers and lip-sync singers. Some say it’s touristy and strange, but we say it’s a star-studded evening with superb entertainment. Read More...
Experience the Chao Phraya River by candlelight with this dinner cruise on the luxurious Grand Pearl. After being welcomed onboard with warm smiles and cocktails, you'll be awed by the architectural beauty of passing riverside sights like Wat Arun, the Grand Palace and Wat Pra Kaew. Relax under the stars and moonlight, as a live band perfects the mood turning back for one last glimpse at Bangkok's time-honoured temples. Read More...
Bangkok’s ‘khlongs’ (canals) aren’t mere remnants of the past. Many are still functioning transport arteries that play a significant role in city life. This morning tour focuses on the scenic waterways of Thonburi. A long-tailed speedboat glides you past floating kitchens, mobile shops and all kinds of colourful river scenery, before stopping at the enchanting Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun) and ending at the Royal Barges Museum.
