Bangkok's Old Town Self-guided Audio Tour by VoiceMap

Itinerary

Khaosan Road
Pass by

This tour takes you from the “tourist ghetto” of Khao San Road, past some of Bangkok’s best- and least-known monuments and attractions, ending with a sunset cocktail across from one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand. As you walk, expert commentary by a long-time resident gives you the inside scoop on where you are and what you’re looking at, as well as history, trivia, and healthy doses of humor and rumor for good measure. The total trip distance is about 4km with ample photo opportunities, plenty of places to sample Bangkok’s legendary street food, and lots of 7-11s to duck into for a quick air-con break.

Sao Chingcha (the Giant Swing)
Pass by

You'll hear the fascinating stories of ceremonies and even parts of history where people have lost their lives swinging on this monument originally built in 1784.

Wat Suthat
Pass by

Explore this temple which is often a much richer tourist experience than the Grand Palace as it is much less crowded and 25x cheaper to enter.

Wat Ratchabophit
Pass by

I'll guide you to this beautiful but lesser known temple that has a different aesthetic than all the other temples in Bangkok.

Saranrom Park
Pass by

In fact, it has one of the lowest per capita green space ratios of any city in the world, but the parks it does have are quite nice. We'll travel through this park to the conclusion of our tour.

The Grand Palace
Pass by

You'll have the opportunity to visit the Grand Palace near the conclusion of our tour, where I'll direct you to some of the best options for rooftop views in the city.

Great to pick out all the must see sights and more!

Enjoyed checking out the old town and found the commentary interesting and amusing. It would be helpful if when starting from a certain point if it was clearer which way to go (especially at the beginning or if you wander off course exploring). For example we wandered up and down the main road for some time before realising we should have turned into the market. This could have been prevented if another check was added, eg you should be going down xx road, passing market stalls. However we really enjoyed this lighthearted wander around old Bangkok.
