📌 The reason the prices are different between ‘Essential Bangkok ‘Morning at 7AM’ and ‘Flexible Start Time After 7 AM’
🔹 Afternoon Tours Are in Higher Demand : Many travelers enjoy starting their day slowly, so our later tours often fill up quickly. But since our guides and drivers can only take one tour in the afternoon, it limits availability. This makes afternoon tours slightly more expensive due to higher demand.
🔹 Hotter Weather & More Traffic in the Afternoon : Bangkok afternoons are much hotter (35–40°C / 95–105°F), and traffic is usually heavier after 7.30 AM. This means more time on the road and more effort from our team to keep your experience smooth, fun, and comfortable.
🔹 Choose What’s Best for You – We’re Flexible : Both morning and flexible start tours offer a great experience. You’re welcome to choose the itinerary that suits your travel plans. We’ll take care of the rest and make your day in Bangkok unforgettable.
📌 Using a private van with air-conditioning on tour:
The private commuter van is highly recommended for an easy and relaxing way to travel around Bangkok. It’s very comfortable with air-conditioning to keep you cool in Bangkok’s high temperatures and high humidity. Average temps in Bangkok 29-38C/85-100F with high humidity 70-90%. We will provide all refreshments such as cold waters, cold towels, and umbrellas on all trips.
This Tour uses an Air-Conditioned Minivan for easy transportation. This is suitable for large groups of friends or families with young children who may not get used to continually walk with the high temperatures and high humidity in Bangkok. Anyone who is unable to walk long distances on tour and also for those who might be tired from jetlag or long flights the day before your tour begins.
On tour, the approximate walking distance to anticipate is 6 – 8 kilometers / 4 – 5 miles on tour. The boat riding takes approximately time 40-60 minutes.
