Beginning our Bangkok tour at Ratchawong Pier on the Chao Praya River we step back in time to the old markets in Yaowarat, located in the heart of the vibrant Chinatown district. The original Chinese citizens were traders living in the village of Bangkok before it became the capital of the Kingdom of Siam.

The land that now occupies the Grand Palace belonged to the traders. When King Rama I moved the capital from Ayuthaya to Bangkok over 200 years ago the community was asked to move to its current location. From the pier our walking tour continues along Song Wat Road, which is bordered by old business buildings and warehouses - most of which are still operating today. We emerge in the plastic and leather product quarter on Yaowa Phanit Road.

The next stop on your Bangkok sightseeing tour is a 100 year old coffee shop on Pha Sai Road, a coffee and snack is included in our trip, an opportunity to relax and take in the atmosphere.

Rejuvenated we continue to Issarnuparb Road and a market specialising in Chinese religious products, fresh food including seafood. In the evening Yaowaraj Road becomes a sea of street stalls, collectively becoming one large food bazaar. The food options range from street stalls to the finest Chinese restaurants. Part of our experience will be taking a seat with our guide are try some charcoal grilled seafood on the street.

Following dinner we continue on foot to the Saphan Put Night Market, where we find a vast array of clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, second hand collections and antiques on sale.

If you prefer to have a painting of yourself, you can sit down with artists on the street. In no time you will have a portrait of yourself to take home as a souvenir. The final stop of the night is at Talat Pak Khlong ('talad' meaning market), the largest wholesale flower and vegetable market of Bangkok. Night-time is a great time to see Pakklong Talad as the street is covered with a colourful flower display. At the end of the day tour in Bangkok you are free to continue exploring the area or your guide will assist you in getting a taxi back to your hotel.
