Self-Guided Walking Tours to Explore Bangkok, Thailand
Welcome to Bangkok, known as “the city of angels” or “the Venice of the east”, due to the high number of canals throughout its extension. If you are visiting for the first time, start with a walk in the Old City, filled with marvelous historical sights and sounds. Make sure to also explore the Wats and Temples – a unique part of Bangkok's heart and soul. Chinatown has hardly changed in several decades, making it an excellent place to catch a glimpse of what life was like in the 1960s and '50s. If you're looking for more street eats, follow our Food Walk for some of the best non-Chinatown destinations.
In all, we have prepared 7 self-guided walks for you to explore Bangkok, which cover everything from cultural landmarks to some of the best eateries and shopping places. Not only that, but you can also create your own walk with the attractions that interest you most and even set your hotel as the walk's starting point!
