We really enjoyed the mix of food and culture which our top guide introduced to us. Going over a market, visited a temple and a church, an old Thai house and got a lot of explanation on the history too. We also eat a few great places which were completely different but hidden gems. Thanks so much for a great tour Uma! It was a pleasure making this tour with you.
A great day was had by all. Friendly and informative guides, great food stops and an experience that we will not forget in a hurry
My walking tour of Bangkok was a highlight of my trip to Bangkok and my tour guide Koajoa truly made the experience exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the city’s history, culture, and everyday life while keeping the tour engaging and easy to follow. The pace was perfect, the route well thought out, and she was always happy to answer questions or offer local tips along the way. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine love for Bangkok made the city come alive, and I walked away with a much deeper appreciation for both the sights and the stories behind them.

I went on tour with Bang Rak ! I live in Bangkok, and I had a great day, being shown around deep spots that are hard to go by myself!! The guide was knowledgeable, kind and very nice. If I had the chance again, I would like to join another tour.
I joined the Bangrak Area of Love tour and absolutely loved it! We tasted so many delicious local dishes and also learned about the mix of various communities in the area. We even got to visit a traditional Thai wooden house and see how locals live. A perfect way to spend a few hours exploring authentic Bangkok beyond the tourist spots. Highly recommend if you want to eat well, learn something new and just enjoy the vibe of the city!
