Review of Bangkok’s 4-hour electric tuk-tuk tour, with Thonburi crafts, Wang Lang street food, river views, and Pak Khlong Talat.
“I can really recommend this tour. It was a privat tour with a great guide. We went to different temples and markets, although if someone is expecting a full market experience this is not the correct tour. The temples were very interesting and there was a wide range from small and "local" to famous and more touristic. My guide was great she showed me some 'hole in the wall' local food shops. I had a really great experience!”
