Good to know
- Remember that temples are sacred places and you must dress appropriately. Shoulders and ankles need to be covered (for both men and women; sleeveless shirt with a scarf covering is also not allowed). No shorts, leggings, ripped jeans, slippers (flip-flops), or revealing tops, otherwise you won't be allowed in.
- Entrance fee for the Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew is NOT included and must be paid cash on the day of the tour (THB 500 per person).
- Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund. For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.
- Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
- Bangkok’s traffic is often heavily congested, so we kindly ask all guests to arrive on time. We always recommend taking the BTS (skytrain) or MRT (metro) to a station near the meeting point. As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available time slot or day, though a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.
- In case of no-show or showing up too late at the meeting point, no refund will be provided.
Traveler reviews
The very best tour company and the very best guide! We had so much fun and such a friendly experience with our guide
Ampha Thanyawan or her nickname 'Mild' , was the best tour guide and gave us an amazing experience of Bangkoks amazing temples. Ampha Thanyawan Made sure we got the best photos. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the temples and took time to explain everything. We had a great time and would recommend this tour to any visitors to Bangkok!!
Diehard royalist shows us around
What a great tour. So much to learn from Paula. She is a fanatical royalist that is so knowledgeable. The area is as in a little chaos with the commemorative activities for the death of the kings sister. The Buddha was hard to see due to some renovations but you could see it. Easy calling and listening. A great tour and well worth the time.
An amazing morning
