Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Bangkok

Bangkok is awash with exotic wats (temples), crisscrossed by busy klongs (canals), the site of the amazingly intricate architecture of the Thai Royal Palace, and center of one of the world’s most beloved cuisines. In sum, it’s never dull, and, from its ancient splendor to its red light districts.

Top Bangkok Experiences

Wandering through Bangkok’s many markets, including the famous floating markets, where vendors balance their goods on tiny boats.

Experiencing Bangkok’s infamous nightlife, and if you’re bold enough to go there, watching the red light district come alive at night.

Having a delicious meal while cruising up the Apsara River and marveling at Bangkok’s incredible skyline.

Touring the Jim Thompson House museum, to see the “Thai Silk King’s” incredible art collection and home.

Going on a Thai culinary tour and learning more about one of the world’s favorite foods, trying everything from authentic specialties to  and enjoying the vibrant and crowded market scene.

Cycling through the surrounding rainforest, breathing in the clean warm air while you explore the city outskirts and watch the rural Thai life.

So much to see and experience in such a short time, from food, culture, beautiful temples, and nature to history. This was a great holiday, and we were really fortunate to have Pok as our tour guide, he really looked after us and is credit to his country. This was my first trip to Thailand, and it’s on my travel list to come back again and explore other parts of the country.

Thai Island Hopping by Explore!
Islands in the Sun
A great opportunity to see Bangkok and to stay on different islands, some unspoilt. Traveling was well organised and interesting in itself. Lots of snorkel & swim opportunities. The trip packed a lot in in a short time but it was still relaxing

The guide, whose name was 'Wit', was the best guide I have ever had. He was very attentive and helpful to the group, and made the tour run very smoothly.
Above all, his knowledge was exceptional. I learnt more about Thailand, its people, history, culture and religion on this tour than I have learnt on all my previous visits combined.
Wit is a great asset to Explore, and I would happily go on another tour with him!
