Full description

This is a 3.5-hour experience in Bangkok, built around Ferry, Wat Arun and Tuk tuk. It is run by CanalTour x ExploreSiam, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese food tours work because the best places are small, unmarked and full of regulars, and a guide who orders for you opens them. An izakaya crawl covers yakitori, sashimi, karaage and the local pours of sake, shochu and highballs across three or four counters in an evening; a ramen walk explains the broths, tonkotsu, shoyu, miso and shio, and the regional styles. Most places seat eight to twelve and tours run six to eight guests for that reason. Vegetarians should say so when booking, because dashi stock is fish and hidden in almost everything; halal-certified options exist but are fewer.

The price covers Chao Phraya Express Boat / ferry / tuk-tuk, Bottled water, Dessert, guide and Street-food meal. It does not cover Alcoholic beverages and Gratuities for the tour guide, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

CanalTour x ExploreSiam sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with CanalTour x ExploreSiam before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Bella our guide was really engaging, fun, and provided lots of information. Answered all of our questions. Gave some options of what we were interested in, but assigning us a insight into Thai culture and history. Our favorite tour in Bangkok.

loved our guide bella! my family was a family of 5. only 1 was under 40 and the rest were in their 70s. bella tailored our tour to help when they were too tired to walk, sometimes getting in out of the tuk tuk was difficult so towards the end it was mostly photo ops in the tuk tuk 😂 the food at the end was actually really well done and everyone was happy with the meal and dessert choices! great mix of transportation so you can experience it all

This was a great trip very informative. Nice mix of transport the ferry then Tuk Tuk and on foot. The food was great in china town. The only issue we had was weather but we still managed to do most of it. And in some ways it meant we saw things a little different so all good. Would recommend this

our guide Paula was awesome. Her knowledge about every stop we did was interesting. She entertained us with her jokes and told us a bit about her life here and in France. How a single mom of 1 runs around like she does desrves credit. She refused to let anyone leave her before our pick ups to our hotels. Thanks Paula for a evening we wont forget. Thank you from Shilo and Craig, U.K

Two to four kilometres at a slow pace with plenty of stops; flat, but hot and humid, so bring water and light shoes. The stalls a guide takes you to are the ones with a queue and a fast turnover, which is the real food-safety test in Thailand. Say 'mai phet' if you want it not spicy.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
