Begin today with a unique bicycle tour through Bang Kachao, often referred to as Bangkok's "Green Lung." This unexpected urban oasis will amaze you with its verdant gardens, elevated pathways, and traditional wooden homes. As we explore, we'll encounter a Burmese temple, local farms, a Muay Thai gym, and other hidden treasures, offering more than just a bike ride. After enjoying a local lunch, we'll glide along the Chao Phraya River in a traditional long-tail boat, observing the dynamic city life along its banks. As the day winds down, we'll visit two breathtaking temples: Wat Arun, known for its intricate porcelain decorations, and Wat Saket, where we ascend the Golden Mount to witness a stunning sunset over the city skyline.

Today, enjoy an immersive cooking class in Khlong Toei, a vibrant and culturally rich neighbourhood in Bangkok. Begin with a guided tour of the bustling local market, where we'll experience an array of sights, sounds, and aromas. Discover exotic Thai ingredients and select fresh produce for your cooking session. This class has garnered praise from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has personally visited and endorsed the experience. With the help of local cooks, you'll prepare authentic Thai dishes, gaining both culinary skills and insight into daily life in Khlongtoey, while also supporting community initiatives. You'll leave with both a satisfied appetite and a greater appreciation for the local culture.

It's the last day of your tour, but we have time this morning for an included visit to Wat Pho, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha - one of the most iconic temples in Bangkok. We'll travel there by boat along the river, enjoying views of the city from the water. After exploring the temple, your Bangkok tour concludes, and it's time to say goodbye to your newfound friends in Bangkok. Airport transfers are not included, but your guide will be able to assist you with booking your onward travel.
