Bangkok Under the Night Lights by TUK-TUK (SHA Plus)

Fast and Fun

This tour is slightly more expensive than others. I enjoyed the one on one exclusivity of the tour though and enjoyed seeing the sights and sounds from tuk tuk. Tuk tuks are very fast and will eep you on your toes at every turn (seatbelts not included) lol

Great tour!

Our trip was awesome! Very informative and great tour guide. Tan was excellent and we felt safe knowing she knew her way around Bangkok and spoke excellent English. Great trip to see the temples, some riverfront properties, and some good eats in China Town. Definitely would recommend this tour and Tan!

Best tour

Not Worth It

Under the Night Lights did not work starting at 5:30. It was still daylight. We were looking forward to seeing Wat Arun lit in the night. It was our first stop, closed and the sun starting to set but this just made for low light pictures at best. The guide, Kim, was very talkative but we could hardly understand a word he said as he went over the history of kings. He nearly forgot to get us off the boat at the first stop so we had to rush through the crowded boat. He walked too fast through crowds for us to keep up. We went to the flower market which was delightful. He offered to buy us a little sweet ball of something and then a banana. Again, we couldn’t understand him. We stood across the street from the Grand Palace but there wasn’t much we could see except roofs above the wall. The tuk tuk was different than the ones we used in Vietnam and Cambodia the previous two weeks. These were high to get up on for two 70 yr olds. My 6 foot husband had to stoop under the roof as we rode and didn’t have enough foot room. Our guide was about the same size so it was extremely crowded on the tuk tuk. Kim took us to a little family restaurant (seats 8) open to the street but not street food per se. The Grandmother cooked a small noodle meal for us. We finished eating at 7:30 and Kim said because it was dark he didn’t think it was safe to go to Chinatown. We didn’t know why but we had such a difficult time understanding him we agreed, after 2 hrs of the 4 hr tour, that we would go back to our hotel. Kim rode the tuk tuk with us back to the Shangri-La Hotel because he said he lives across the street. It took a half hour in heavy traffic to return. It was a waste of money and time.

Misleading website and poor communication, guide was good though

The tour was "quite good" so I'd have given it 3.5 starts if I could. Unfortunately, our whole experience with this company had already been tainted by poor communication. we only had 24 hours in Bangkok so it was crucial that we got everything sorted out and saw as much as possible in that time. I tried to have a chat with the travel company using the Whatsapp number provided but did hear anything for 24 hours. I decided to take a chance and booked online anyway early the day before we landed, by following the website from Trip Advisor, to Sight Seeing Bangkok which then led us to Sun Leisure World. (this site hopping in itself was a bit worrying) Here the tour page specifically states Hotel Pickup Offered which suited our needs perfectly. I added our hotel details and then dropped the company a Whatsapp, an email AND a Facebook message all asking them to confirm that the hotel pickup was arranged and what the logistics were. I heard nothing for 24 hours but eventually got a message on the day that we flew into Bangkok to state that the meeting point was at a station and that no hotel pickup was included in the nighttime tuk tuk tour. I sent the screen shot of the website where this was advertised, but they just sent me one of the itinerary back showing conflicting information. No apology or explanation of why the website was misleading. So... having just landed we managed to navigate our way 45 mins across the city to find the meeting point, which is where we met our guide, Up. She took us on a good, well paced tour of some of the highlights of the city, which were great at night. I particularly liked the way that she showed us the Flower Market and China Town, giving us samples and setting us a little test with some flowers. Really nice touch. Would I recommend the tour, probably but don't be fooled by the dodgy website.

Great Value

If your time in Bangkok is limited I highly recommend this tour. The temples are spectacular under lights, great for photos without the crowds. You'll experience various modes of transport including a ferry ride along the Chao Phraya River. The guide was very keen to ensure we had a great time, and we saw more than we expected. Warning, like anywhere in Bangkok, be careful of the street food on offer if your stomach isn't used to it!

Great Tour!

This is a great way to see major landmarks with less crowds. Anne was a great guide. She provided historical information and answered all our questions.

Overpriced

Not exactly what we expected, very overpriced for what it was offered. Guide wasn’t experienced, or at least this was the impression I got.

Fantastic Tour

Anne was brilliant!! I recommend the guided tour of bangkok at night to ensure you see all the sights without the hassle of navigating bangkok on your own.

Tuk-Tuk with Tack

We had a perfect night tour of Bangkok with our guide, Tack. He was pleasant, fun, and informative. I loved that he even took selfies with us. He was prompt, answered our questions, allowed us time to take pictures, chatted with us at supper. The food was delicious, too. It was truly a delightful experience! Thanks!!

Great trip, flexible operator

We did this in January and Anne was great. This was our first trip to Bangkok and we wanted a night tour that took us around to look at main sights. Anne was knowledgable, friendly, professional and very flexible. She speaks clear English and was easy to contact. We contacted her via Watsapp. We had dietary requirements and did not want to do the eating component of the tour so instead Anne took us to another sight (we went to the flower market). Chinatown surprisingly was our favourite. We went to the grounds of the Wat Arun, Wat Pho and drove past the Grand Palace. They are definitely worth visiting at night and have a magical feel. We really enjoyed our experience and Anne was a great tour operator.

AMAZING AT NIGHT!!

We have visited the Grand Palace, Wat Arun and Wat Pho during daytime. Fantastic places to see, but very crowded. When we did the tuk-tuk tour Bangkok by Night we passed and visited these places as well, but they were so different at night. Almost no other people and all the temples were so beautifully lit up. Such a difference with daytime, and very magical at night. Our guide was fun, enthusiastic and gave us a lot of information about the temples and Thai culture. Furthermore, we visited Chinatown where we enjoyed a delicious Thai streetfood meal and Thai dessert. It really was an amazing and unforgettable evening.

Fantastic trip

Bangkok is a city that has a lot to explore. Anne, our guide was really nice and friendly to advise us to experience Bangkok in a best possible way, with its beautiful temples, bustling markets, canals, varieties of street food, and friendly people with smile on their face. Since it’s a city that never sleeps, you have a lot to explore during the night when the bright neon and LED lights take over and the city becomes even more beautiful and vibrant. We visited places like Khaosan road, China Town and enjoyed the tasty sea food on the streets along with Thailand’s ubiquitous Chang that never left our table. The tuk-tuk ride in itself is a must to be experienced, it takes you around the streets of Bangkok like a roller coaster in a theme park with its amazing speed (it’s absolutely safe folks ). We enjoyed our every moment in Thailand. It was our first trip, but definitely not the last.

BEST TOUR EVER

We had an amazing tour experience with Anne and her tour company. She is very knowledgable and intelligent. Anne really added life in our tour and made us feel comfortable in Bangkok. We were traveling for the first time and had no idea where to start. But our tour guide came up with a wide variety of packages and plans suitable for our needs and budget. Our tour guide gave us a brief background on the history of the land of smiles. Thereafter, she showered us with information and details concerning The Grand Palace, Wat Pho [The Temple of the Reclining Buddha], Wat Arun, local markets and floating markets too. Tuk-Tuk ride, food tour, and view in the evening are amazing things to do. We had it all. Our tour guide also provided lots of information about Pattaya, logistics, and accommodation. Above all Anne speaks fluent English and she made us feel at home. Overall our trip was mind-boggling. Thank you, Anne and her team. Will surely visit soon.  Regards Sagar, India.   

Wonderful Experience

Totally an awesome and different experience from most tour. View that only most locals are aware of. Food is great, something different from those typical tour where they bring you to restaurants. Tour guide is good and ensure every satisfaction and safety.

Amazing experience

Tonight I went on a tuk-tuk tour in Bangkok. We started with a local boat on the Chao Phraya River. Interesting to see the city from the river. Near the Grand Palace tuk-tuks were waiting for us and we continued the tour by tuk-tuk. Made a photo stop at the Grand Palace which was beautifully lit up at night and then headed to the Wat Pho. Wat Pho was fantastic, almost no people and a magical atmosphere. Our guide Anne was wonderful. She gave us a lot of information and took great care of us. Her enthusiasm made the tour even better. Our stop in Chinatown was fun as well. We enjoyed a delicious Thai dessert and our dinner there. Would recommend this tour to everyone who visits Bangkok. Thank you Anne for a fantastic evening!

A Fun Evening Adventure

A fun way to see Bangkok in 4 hours at night. Rode a public boat taxi and a Tuk-Tuk. Saw the palace and Thai architecture lit up at night as well as experience a lit-up Chinatown. A very fun evening.

Formidable

Notre guide a été formidable et très intéressant, un puit de connaissance ! Quel plaisir de découvrir la ville avec lui! Je recommande cette visite nocturne avec un autre aspect de Bangkok. Et encore merci à notre guide ! Paola et jlouis
