Bangkok Weekend Floating Market Food Tour<\/h2>\n

Floating markets are an institution in Thailand! Even if they have lost their importance and are not\u00a0what\u00a0they were just a few decades ago any more, they remain friendly places testimonies of past Thailand and Bangkok \u00a0when life on River was more animated than life on the asphalt.<\/p>\n

A Thai local offers to be your guide (in English) and take you to discover Khlong Lat Mayom market, the friendliest floating market on the outskirts of Bangkok. The program includes the market visit, tasting of a local meal and a boat ride on the Bangkok klongs<\/a> (small canals that run through the city).<\/p>\n

Bangkok Local Food Specialities by Night Tour<\/h2>\n

In Thailand and especially in Bangkok, there is a lot of life when night falls: night markets, street restaurant installed on sidewalks, Volkswagen minivans \u00a0turned into bars … Discovering life in Bangkok in the evening\u00a0and its culinary specialties is discovering another Bangkok.<\/p>\n

The tour (in English) is offered by a Thai. It\u00a0first takes you in Chinatown, then to visit Wat Tramit\u00a0and its large solid gold Buddha, before you discover the local cuisine with\u00a04 stops and\u00a05 different dishes, before finishing with a short tuk-tuk ride and a stop at a bar with panoramic views of the river. A very nice program for a night in Bangkok!<\/p>\n

Cycling in the Green Lung of Bangkok<\/h2>\n

Bangkok is a city not like the others. Both\u00a0modern and traditional, urban and rural. There is a picturesque area known as the “green lung of Bangkok”<\/em>\u00a0 called Bang Kachao. Very exotic!<\/p>\n

Romain, a French blogger living in Thailand, will take you right across the Chao Phraya River, to this hidden oasis where building was prohibited.<\/p>\n
