Explore Talad Noi

An ideal place to visit on Bangkok Old Town tours, Talad Noi is in the Bang Rak District and is one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods. This locale is full of old-world charm and you will not only come across colonial mansions, Chinese-Thai shophouses and temples but fascinating street art amidst the winding alleyways.

Embark on a Klong Tour

The Chao Phraya River is connected to a network of canals or “klongs” and some Bangkok resort hotels offer special tours taking you on a traditional longtail boat ride along these waterways; you will see stilt house communities and depending on the tour, have lunch at ‘The Artist’s House’ and even get hand’s on guidance for making handicrafts!

Learn Muay Thai

Muay Thai is a traditional Thai martial art that offers a great workout too. Some hotels offer sessions where a professional instructor will guide you in this martial art known as the “art of eight limbs” as it utilises knees, fists, elbows and shins; you can combine this activity with watching live Muay Thai in Bangkok to see how the pros do it!

Join a Cooking Class

While savouring delectable local dishes and street food is a quintessential experience, take it a step further by learning the secrets of Thai cuisine. Some resorts offer hands-on cooking classes in Bangkok which include visiting a local market with a chef to find ingredients and then getting guidance on creating your own culinary masterpiece.
