    What you'll see and do

    1. Khlong Saen Saep

      Begin your walking tour with your guide from the meeting point to the Elephant Head Bridge to board a boat on the Saen Saeb canal. You’ll travel to the old city area that’s known as Pom Pra Satru Pai. The canal was constructed in 1837 by the order of King Rama III for military transport during the war over Cambodia. Today it serves as a fast and inexpensive way for Bangkokians to travel through the city, avoiding the traffic jams.

    2. The Golden Mount (Wat Saket)

      Next you’ll head to the Golden Mount and Wat Saket, a pagoda situated on an artificial hill, and another creation of King Rama III. It wasn't completed until the reign of King Rama V however, due to land subsidence causing the original structure to collapse. Today the pagoda commands a panoramic view over Bangkok.

    3. Wat Ratchanatdaram Worawihan

      Stop is at the stunning Silver Pagoda, built during the reign of King Rama III, in 1846, for the princess granddaughter. The temple is best known for it's 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues. Also known as the Silver Pagoda, the design almost appears Burmese, but in fact this is a copy of old Buddhist design found in Sri Lanka.

      30 minutes here · Admission included

    4. Bamrung Muang Fashion

      Continue walking to Bamrung Muang, Bangkok's first shopping street. Today it caters to temple supplies where you will find monk robes, candles, incense sticks, books, and many golden statues of the Buddha.

      15 minutes here

    5. Down a small side street you’ll find Baan Bat, where a small group of locals have, for centuries, made their living producing hand-made alms bowls to be purchased by the faithful and donated to monks.

      10 minutes here

    6. Sao Chingcha (the Giant Swing)

      At the end of the road you’ll arrive at the Giant Swing, constructed in 1784. It was originally used in an ceremony where Brahmins would swing, trying to grab a bag of coins placed on one of the pillars. In 1935 the ceremony was discontinued after several fatal accidents.

      10 minutes here

    7. Wat Suthat

      Take a walk through Wat Suthat, a royal temple constructed during the reign of King Rama I, but not completed until the reign of King Rama III.

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    8. Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkalaram Ratchaworamahaviharn

      Give your feet a rest and take a tuk tuk ride through the small streets of old Bangkok to Wat Pho, home of the first school of medicine in Bangkok. The temple is the oldest and largest monastery in Bangkok, and it was the first university in Bangkok teaching students in the fields of religion, science, and literature through murals and sculptures.

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    9. WatPo Thai Traditional Massage School

      After all this walking you’ll be rewarded with a 30-minute foot massage (strictly not for pregnant women) at a nearby Thai massage school. According to ancient medicine, the sensory nerves of the internal organs that spread throughout the body are mainly gathered around the soles of the feet, making massage an effective means of stimulating the functions of the organs.

      30 minutes here · Admission included

    10. The Chao Phraya River

      Once you’re relaxed and ready to head out again, it will be time to take a river boat down the Chao Phraya River, connecting to a skytrain that will take you back to the meeting point.

    <p>We did so much different stuff, but this tour still felt relaxed and nicely paced. Maybe it was just a result of being the only one taking the tour that day, but It felt more like enlisting a friend to take me to all her favourite places. A really pleasant way to spend the morning.</p>

    <p>Touring Bangkok like a local! Mr Moo was a great guide, taking us walking around the streets where the locals shop for their daily needs. Enjoyed touring several temples and monuments. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyed listening to his explanations of the culture and religion of Thailand. We really enjoyed the provided lunch at a small local B and B and then went off for a relaxing massage at the end of our tour.</p>

    A highly recommended trip, a great...

    <p>A highly recommended trip, a great way to experience some of the probably less visited places and riding in klong boats is always a lot of fun. Had some great food along the way too. The foot massage is not for the feint hearted and much stronger than what you'll encounter in the street, but you'll come out feeling better for it if you survive! I was the only one on the tour that day and my guide, Kat, was very helpful and insightful. Great if you like experiencing places on foot or via local travel means.</p>

    Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.

    How much does Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $98 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.

    Is Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bangkok?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour, Must-Try: Hidden Bangkok Bike and Food Tour, Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bangkok?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bangkok?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Transportation by tuk-tuk, boat and Skytrain; Snacks; anding and/or facility fees; and Thai foot massage. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour?

    +

    BTS Skytrain next to MBK Shopping Mall, National Stadium station (W1), Exit 3 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Thai foot massage is strictly not recommended for pregnant women. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Bangkok’s Hidden Treasures Walking Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Bangkok. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
