Keeping The Roots

Experience the histories, aspirations and challenges of Bangkok’s last historic villages in preserving their roots and identities as they navigate Bangkok’s rapid modernization.

Keeping the Roots is a half-day version of the Bangkok Three Sixty with a focus on Bangkok’s urban communities, heritage and people along ancient maritime trade routes leading from Chinatown across to Thonburi. This short version is designed to provide insights into the ethnic diversity, urban transformation and city’s grassroots and communal aspirations where community leaders, religious leaders and entrepreneurs not just keep but revitalize their heritage and lead their respective communities into Bangkok’s urban future.

TESTIMONIALS

  • I felt like I was a part of the everyday life of a vibrant, energetic, and cosmopolitan city. Where most tours look at an aspect of a culture, this tour allows its participants to be part of the culture

  • This tour is highly recommended if you like tours with that personal touch ,small group, very helpful and friendly staff throughout the process of booking .really enjoyed our day would have done the 360 tour as well but run out of time.

  • “Great for first timers and Bangkok veterans”

    Matthew S., Sidney, Australia

  • Well, all I can say is, awesome. We did the Starters tour today with Mu. It was great. We had high expectations due to the TripAdvisor reviews, and the tour fit the bill.

  • If you want to see the real Bangkok, "local" style than this is the best possible way for you to do it.
