How much is a bangkok tour per head when going to any of these places? |
Travel Info i would like to avail of bangkok city tours while i'm there but i'm not sure where to book for these tours and how much these would cost. i heard that it would be much cheaper if i arrange for these tours when i'm already in bangkok as compared to pre-arranging it over the internet even before i arrived. i'm not sure if this is true. regardless, i need help/guidance from bangkok locals. please? I would like to go several places like: 1. floating market and rose garden 2. ayuthaya 3. chao phraya river/dinner cruise but i can only go to one place since the schedule is tight. where do you suggest i go to? i just wanna have fun with my family while sightseeing. and that it wouldn't be much of a hassle when it starts raining. thanks Travel Tips Hi, it is quite easy to arrange tours to these places you mentioned. They are quite standard on most land tour packages to Bangkok. At your hotel, there will be a travel desk. If not, near your hotel will be a travel agency or anywhere that you may go. Even to the Skytrain station. They can easily arrange the tours for you and you will be picked up from your hotel even. Various tour companies charge slightly different price, the rate that I will be reflecting will be the general ball-park figures. The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Aprime Rose Garden tour is usually a full day tour. It will start early in the morning due to the half-day opening of the floating market from 0700hrs and also it is a distance away from Bangkok. Typically after the floating market you will be brought to the Rose Garden for lunch and the animal and cultural shows. Typical package is 1200-500bahts per person including the lunch. Ayutthaya tour can comprise of a river cruise and lunch or bus trip to the destination including lunch. The price for the bus option will be about 1200baht per person while the river cruise option will cost about 2200 to 2500baht per person. This is usually a full day tour. Chao Phraya river cruise / dinner cruise can be done from the River City Pier from the boat operators or through tour agents. The cost will be about the same. The tour agent will provide pick-up and return ferry from/to your hotel. Cost of either half-day river cruise from about 700baht to dinner cruise which varies between 1200-1600baht. All per person rate. If you are short on time, you can do the floating market and Rose Garden in the day, followed by dinner cruise in the same night. Ayutthaya can be another day. Happy holidays. Others If you are staying in any of the larger hotels they will all book tours for you. Travel agents will book them cheaper, of which there are many in the streets. The floating market tour starts very early in a morning. Temple of the Emerald Buddha is a good day out. Generally Bangkok is congested, dirty, polluted and the pavements are cracked and broken, if you have time move out of Bangkok where there are lots of things to see and do. If you are only in Bangkok for two days you can generally see all the sights worth seeing. Shop around for prices and don't pay anyone locally at the attractions they are only after your money. Expect to pay more than locals at attractions as they have a 2 tier pricing foreigners pay about twice as much or more than Thai's, this can only be changed if you can read the signs written in Thai. 25 years in Thailand Can't give you cost but it is better to arrange your tour at your hotel. Almost every hotel has a tour agent available. Your be able to arrange a tour the day you arrive and go the next day. The floating market and rose garden tour can be combined into one tour, as the previous writer mention the tour starts early about 7 am they will pick you up at your hotel. This tour usually ends late afternoon. In the evening you can then go on the chao phraya river/dinner cruise which usually starts sometime about 7 pm and last for about 2 hours. If you have time the second day please try to get to the Royal Palace Wat Phra Kao, this would be a half day tour. There are requirements for dress at Wat Phra Kao, your tour agent can explain it to you. Hope this helps you have a great time living in thailand and been to all these places myself Organising a tour has already been explained so I won't go into it Chao Praya river cruise can be done at night so you may have time to do the other tours you mentioned. Ayuthaya is ONE FULL DAY at a minimum so, you have to chose if it is worth it or to see around Bangkok instead. There are so many things to see. The floating market and rose garden is worth doing. The Rose Garden tour usually inlcude the Cultural Village and this might be good for a family as you will get to see the life of Thai people ourside the "western" lifestyle. It's still you choice. Hope you have agreat time. Regular traveller to the land of smiles |
