Bangkok Dinner Cruise with Thai Cultural ShowThe Sawasdee Chaophraya River Dinner Cruise is a two-hour evening tour departing from ICONSIAM Pier in Bangkok, where you board a three-level luxury ship, eat an international buffet, and watch live traditional Thai dance, Muay Thai performances and Khon masked dance while passing illuminated landmarks including Wat Arun and the Grand Palace.

Bangkok Michelin Food by Tuk Tuk: Hotel Pickup Lunch or DinnerThis Michelin food tour by tuk-tuk in Bangkok starts with hotel pickup at your chosen time (11 AM lunch or 4:30 PM dinner) and takes you to four Michelin-recommended eateries across the city, tasting over ten dishes guided by an English-speaking food expert.

All food, transport by tuk-tuk, and the guide are included; children are welcome from age 10. Note that Chinatown closes Mondays, and the tour substitutes an alternate tasting location on those days.Is it for me?The tour moves at a steady pace — you're in the tuk-tuk between stops and eating at each restaurant or stall for the time it takes to taste and enjoy the dish — so it suits anyone comfortable with three and a half hours of light activity and Bangkok traffic. The route includes standing room at street stalls and sitting at restaurant tables, so mobility to move between the tuk-tuk and each location matters more than fitness level.
Bangkok: Private Day Tour, Floating & Railway MarketsYou’ll shape your own Bangkok adventure—maybe dodging trains at Maeklong Railway Market or tasting grilled bananas on a boat at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.
