Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour:

  • Your tour covers the Thonburi district in an all-electric vehicle. We're committed to reducing the environmental impact of vehicle-based tourism in Bangkok, which makes up the vast majority of tours given in this city. Make a "green" difference by seeing the Bangkok via electric transportation!
  • On this tour, you will support independent market vendors, and experience real connections by meeting with a local community
  • Today, you’ll head out on a day tour on a classically Bangkok style of travel – tuk-tuk. But these aren’t your usual tuk-tuks, they’re the quieter EV kind. Your day will begin at Sanam Chai station, where you’ll meet your local guide. Hop on electric tuk tuk and start by exploring the Thonburi district. Home to several notable temples – including Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) – the area’s known for its rich history and stunning architecture. You’ll get the chance to learn more about the culture here during a visit to the Baan Bu traditional community, who’ve been crafting stoneware products for six generations. Then it’s back into your electric tuk-tuk and on to Thonburi Train Station. Opened in 1906, some of the city’s historic steam locomotives are still housed at the station, giving you the chance to learn about their significance and engineering. Then, it’s full steam ahead to the Wang Lang Market, home to some iconic local food vendors while serving up its own unique views of The Grand Palace from across the Chao Phraya River. Our next stop is a riverside cafe with a great view. After a relaxing refreshment, we will walk back to the Pran Nok Pier, to catch the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Sapan Phut Pier. Your last stop is Pak Khlong Talat, or the flower market. This is the biggest flower market in Thailand and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Many different types of flowers are shipped here, and the market acts as a distribution centre, transferring flowers to other cities throughout the country. Your daytrip will end here, where you’ll be able to get back to the city by the Chao Phraya Express or MRT Sanam Chai.

    Please note, if any of the sites in the itinerary happen to be closed due to reasons beyond our control, an alternative site will be visited. With so many street food stalls to choose from, if one we plan to visit is closed, we can find another one that's just as delicious! Food options and portion sizes will vary depending on the season and where we stop that day but the total amount of food included will be equal to a full meal.

    Please note that this tour covers about 2 hours of Tuk Tuk Ride and 1.5 km (1 mile) of walking.
