Overview

To truly experience a city, you must deep dive into its culture, and there's no better cultural tradition to explore in Bangkok than through Buddhism and its monks. On this private tour, get a cultural awakening as you learn more about Buddhism and the local monks and why it's such a unique part of the city's character. Learn from its history to the present influence that still lingers in Bangkok as you visit the Golden Mount, Loha Prasat and more. Thanks to this cultural experience, you'll be able to see Bangkok from a different perspective - the way the locals live it every day! Withlocals Treasures of Bangkok Tour™ is one of Withlocals' signature tours available in major cities worldwide. We work with passionate local guides who earn a fair fee. We support local economies by only offering local products and preventing over-tourism with only small non-intrusive groups. Our tours are carbon-neutral and away from the standard tourist routes.

Amazing, Informative Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Petz was extremely informative and went above and beyond to make our trip to Bangkok a memorable and exciting experience. I would definitely book another tour with him the next time I'm in Thailand!

Great tour and guide.

Published on Dec, 2024

This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Gune, was filled with knowledge and tailored the experience based on out interests. She took us to several temples, provided answers to our many questions was was a pleasure to be with. We sat and had a nice conversation with a monk who added even more information. Don't miss this tour is you want to a deeper understanding of how Buddhism plays a big role in Thai society.

The perfect guide for a wonderful city

Published on Dec, 2024

Araya is an awesome guide. We organised three trips with her. If you want an insider's perspective on life in Bangkok, the history of this wonderful country, as well as insights into its culture then she is the guide for you. What a wonderful patient person. Thank you Araya :-)

Buddhism and monk tour in Bangkok

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour is very interesting, far from touristic places, Araya our guide, who speaks French, explained us monk daily life .This tour helped us to a better understanding of Buddhism before visiting the great temples.

The best of mornings with Moddy

Published on Nov, 2024

This was my first time using 'Withlocals'; it won't be the last. My visit to Bangkok was made all the better by Moddy. She kept in touch prior the meeting; gave clear and concise details about the meeting place and time. She gave me freely and happily of her time, and knowledge; I learnt such a lot in such a short time. She was both committed and fun, we laughed as we walked from place to place. In her company, I felt 'almost local'. I would happily recommend 'Withlocals', and if your visiting Bangkok, don't miss out on a tour with Moddy!
