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

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BANGKOK STARTERS

Concept of the 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.
