A sunset and neon-lid journey through the ancient riverine neighborhoods of Bangkok
Thailand’s culture sits at the crossroad of the Indian and Chinese civilization. The Bangkok Starters afternoon to evening version is a cultural journey leading through Bangkok’s water arteries into the heart of the world’s largest Theravada Buddhist countries with its most important temples and continues to the ancient merchant quarters of Chinatown. Get an exciting and seamless introduction of Bangkok’s topography and riverine landscape as well as its old neighborhoods, their sacred and culinary identities and experience 5 hours fully packed with information and sensory impact.
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.

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.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BANGKOK STARTERS
It can be challenging to figure out how to approach a complex megacity like Bangkok, and how to make the best of your time, especially when given only a few days to understand the gist of the city. The Starters Tour differentiates itself from other city tours in that we do not portray Bangkok only as a city of temples but a city of diversity. This includes its diverse neighborhoods, contrasts, cultures, food and modes of transports. We explore the dimensions that make Bangkok one of the most popular city destinations in the world and uncover the myth and legends, realities and screts in one full day. It gives you a holistic introduction to allow you to further explore deeper during stay, weather by yourself or through specialized guided tours. In any case, this experience is designed to match the epicness of Bangkok and to compel you to further explore the city like a local.
