An alternative to our Chinatown tours and conveniently located near the popular traveler mecca of Khao San Road, our tour will explore the historic community of Bang Lamphu through routes familiar only to locals.

Departing from the New World City Hotel, we will go behind the flashing lights of Khao San Road to begin our cultural adventure.

Leaving crowded traditional tourist attractions for your guidebook to detail, we will bring you along a path of discovery not fount in any of them.

Wooden framed houses, noisy schoolyards, and bustling markets are just a few examples of scenes you might find on our wander into the common but always fascinating life style of the Thai.

Next, we cross the Chao Phraya River over the breath- taking Rama VIII Bridge to historic Thonburi.

With expansive views of the river still fresh in our memories, encounters with surprising green belts free of cars and tourists will signal your arrival to the Bangkok you never knew.
