If you are looking for things to do in Bangkok in December then you won’t have to look far as the streets are thronging with activity. Tucked away in back-streets you will find temples and markets that are otherwise hidden from view, making for an interesting voyage of discovery.
A local will know where to find the hidden gems that are not usually spotted from the main streets and they’ll give you amazing stories and insights surrounding them.
Travel to the city’s outskirts and you will find a way of life that is very different from the hectic streets of the capital city. Many of the nation’s people live life at a much slower pace than those in Bangkok, and in beautiful natural surroundings that are a joy to see.
A local guide can take you on an interesting and relaxing boat tour in Bangkok or in the countryside, showing you a quieter way of life and how many Thai people make a living.

One thing that visitors tend to remember about a trip to the city is the food, and to turn this up one notch and make it even better, join your local host as they will cook for you a delicious homemade meal. Definitely one of the top things to do while in Bangkok. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy an authentic Thai meal as prepared just for you? It sounds so good!

For a shopping trip with a twist, your local host can take you to one of the floating markets where shoppers and sellers float along in canal boats. It’s not often that you will get to enjoy a leisurely boat cruise while getting some shopping done at the same time.

My Highlights and Hidden Gems Tour with Taungtip was the perfect tour of Bangkok and I highly recommend a tour with her. Taungtip speaks very good English that’s easy to understand and she’s very knowledgeable and kind. Our meeting stop was easy to find but I was late because of taxi issues, and she was understanding and patient about it. We started our tour in the most beautiful historic indoor market with individual unique stalls of royal and historic foods. I tried several delicious snacks and even bought some for the hotel. Taungtip bought some for me to try and explained the history of the various stalls and shops and the vendors were all so friendly. The upper floors were shops of Thai silks and brocades, and traditional celebration costumes, just beautiful. Taungtip took me to the flower market, produce market, on a tuk tuk, the boat ferry, the Wat Aron and all the while explained interesting history and facts. She was so kind with the people we encountered and we laughed and smiled continuously. I didn’t want our tour to end but she gave me great information on how to continue my day at the Grand Palace, Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles (free with Palace ticket), Wat Pho with the reclining Buddha, and end the day with traditional dance at the Royal Palace (which was also free with my Palace ticket). I cannot recommend this tour with Taungtip enough! I would have toured with her again if I’d had time. Not all my Bangkok tour guides were special like her.
We really had a great time with Saravarint touring Bangkok! We were here on business and had an afternoon to spare, so we booked a last minute tour. We met up with her and first asked if we could do some shopping to get some souvenirs for our wives. She took us to a place where the locals shopped and found us some good deals. Then we toured a few outdoor markets before heading to see the temples. She was very friendly and funny. We really appreciated her knowledge of the Thai history and culture. I would recommend her for your visit to Thailand!
I spent the day with Tuangtip (Tai) on a private tour and it was simply amazing from beginning to end!! I took the tour without my friends and felt completely safe and I learned so much. Tai was patient, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. It was great taking the tour on my own as I got to go at the pace I wanted to and given the extreme heat in Bangkok, Tai was more than happy to stop whenever I needed/wanted to.
Andy was a fantastic tour guide! He has a deep knowledge of the history and culture of Thailand/Siam and does a wonderful job weaving it into the tour, also explaining the different customs and traditions of Buddhism and Hinduism through stories and examples. He even went out of his way to ensure we got on the correct ferry and train after our tour. He was also very interested in learning about the history and politics of our country. Great experience for our first visit to Bangkok!
