It's one of the oldest shrines in Thailand by King Taksin. The Guanyin Bodhisattva is different from other shrines because mostly the Guanyin in other shrines are in standing position, but here the Guanyin is in sitting position. The wood carvings in this temple will give you a feeling of antiquity and serenity.

The Portuguese first arrived in Thailand (then Siam) in 1511 – more than 500 years ago – and began an international relationship with Thailand, the first Western country to do so. The Kudichin neighborhood (Portuguese village) was established before the city’s official founding. In this village, you will have a chance to try Sappayak, a rarefied snack: minced pork, Thai chilies, and potatoes sprinkled with tamarind and stuffed in a soft Portuguese-style bun. Don’t miss this place if you are an exotic snack lover.

Wat Arun, internationally known as the Temple of Dawn, is a landmark temple on the west (Thonburi) bank of the Chao Phraya river. It is one of the most spectacular temples in Bangkok, not only because of its riverside location but also because the design is very different from the other temples in Bangkok.

My day in Bang Kachao
We spent the day in Bang Kachao with friends and we loved this experience. Throughout the day, we were able to discover a very local environment, far from the hustle and bustle and mass tourism of Bangkok. The morning at the market was particularly enriching. Our guide, Hai, introduced us to many local specialties that we had the opportunity to taste (and some were more appreciated than others 😂). The day ended with a stroll in Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden, which allowed us to recharge while admiring beautiful landscapes. A special mention to our two guides, Hai and Gun, who were incredible, always attentive, caring, and passionate. They greatly contributed to making this day unforgettable. Once again, a big thank you to them!🥰
Response from the operator: Cher client, Nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience avec nous ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que votre journée à Bang Kachao entre amis a été mémorable et que l'atmosphère paisible de ce havre de verdure caché de Bangkok vous a offert une parenthèse rafraîchissante loin de l'agitation urbaine. Nous sommes particulièrement heureux que le marché du matin vous ait tant marqué, avec toutes ses saveurs locales à découvrir, et que la promenade dans le parc Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan ait été une conclusion idéale et relaxante à cette journée. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt, vous et vos amis, pour une autre aventure inoubliable ! Bien cordialement, Thailand Insight Travel et guide Hai --- Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!

Between nature, traditions, and local cuisine: a unique experience.
Thank you to our guides Hai and Gun for their kindness, good humor, and all their explanations throughout the day. The floating market was a wonderful discovery. The variety of food was simply incredible! You can taste a wide variety of Thai specialties, all more delicious than the last, and at really very affordable prices. It is the ideal place to discover local cuisine without breaking the bank. The bike ride was also a real pleasure. The route is peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, and particularly enjoyable in Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park. Riding in the midst of nature was both relaxing, fun, and refreshing. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to anyone who wishes to discover another facet of Bangkok, between gastronomy, nature, and culture. Thanks again to the entire Thailand Insight Travel team for this wonderful day!

Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok cost?
+
Prices start at $166 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 Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok?
+
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 Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok 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 Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. 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 Custom private tour with Thailand Insight Team within Bangkok?
