Bangkok, at night, by tuk tuk
Taking a tuk tuk ride is an integral part of a trip to Thailand — and at night, it's even more magical. This tour lets you experience the best of Bangkok after sunset: illuminated temples, neon Chinatown, a legendary skybar and the madness of Khao San Road.
The highlights
- Sky Bar Sirocco: the rooftop of the film Very Bad Trip 2, a 360° view of the illuminated city.
- Michelin-starred Pad Thai: dinner at Fai Ta Lu, an address recommended by the Michelin Guide.
- Chinatown & Khao San: the two liveliest districts of Bangkok, enhanced by the night.
- Tuk tuk convoy: the iconic Thai experience, in complete safety with trusted drivers.
Our advice
- Correct attire for the Sky Bar (no shorts/flip-flops — rooftop dress code).
- Bring cash (~1500-2000 THB) for the obligatory consumption of the Sky Bar and your purchases.
- Camera/phone charged: The night views are worth the detour.
Tip: the Sky Bar requires 1 drink to enter. Include it in your budget from the start to avoid surprises at the top of the tower.

Before you go
Good to know
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong — bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Comfortable shoes, light breathable clothing, water and a small backpack for the day.
