About this experience
Enjoy your morning by visiting one of the very famous temples in Bangkok. Learn about how to pay respect to the Buddha in Thai Buddhist style. Visit the highest Buddha Image in Bangkok and a very beautiful pagoda, one of ten spots which is a must to travel in Thailand. You will see the temple that was built in the Ayutthaya period (early 17C) with the great mixture between Ayutthaya and Rattanakosin (Bangkok) architectural style. In addition, you can also see the museum of old and new stuff that were donated to the temple. You will enjoy the scenery along the canal side to see local houses . At some houses, you will not believe that there are still some people living in the house that looks like it’s going to collapse anytime. We'll walk through local shop house where sell many kind of local product. Some house provide DIY art wait for you to do. And beside the canal if you are lucky, you will see a water monitor lizard show off. FYI: We'll operate the tour at least 2 guests minimum

Great Tour
Nina, our guide was wonderful. We learned a lot about Buddhism from her at the temple then enjoyed our ride along the canal to explore the Artist House. She was very knowledgeable and patient with all our questions. We highly recommend this tour.

My second time
I’ve done this twice , once alone and second time with friends. Booked it with airbnb before It’s so perfect for an easy going for exploring things you couldn’t do on your own. The whole tour is picture filled Instagram able tour. Crazy delicious food made by locals . 100 percent will do this again when I bring family.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local 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 Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local Tour?
+
Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giant Buddha and Bangkok Local 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 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.
