Hi, my name is Lucas from Montréal, I am a tour guide since 2010, worked in more than 20 countries. Based in Bangkok - or Manila, Phnom Penh, Kathmandu - I follow the current of the guiding ! I am doing those walking tour now, trying to share my knowledge with first time visitors. As I am doing this without salary, tip is well appreciated, Guru guidelines suggest min 10€ or 300 Bath. I can answer all questions and show you some hidden / out of the beaten path places. If you want to see and do tourist stuff like floating market, my walks are not for you. If your goal is to see the highlights everywhere you go, MY WALKS ARE NOT FOR YOU. I like to show you the normal life that is going on here in Bangkok, while I will help you with local transportation and others places to visit. With me you won't see any highlights or spectacular sights, you won’t learn the whole history (for this take a local guide), with me you are walking to see things of the daily life, to feel the vibe as the local way. If you just want to know about tourist stuff, its easy by your own. With me its more about to learn/walk as the Bangkonian style.

Tour description

Walking the hidden city and a forest park in the heart of 12 millions inhabitants !

Starting from Sky train Nana (BTS), we will explore the Sukhumvit area and little Arabic square, on our way to the infamous Nana street.
That sector leads us to the new Benjakitti forest park, where a walkway goes through the wetland, as originally was here.
We will pass the beautiful Queen Sirikit park, to end up on Sukhumvit / Asok road, at the gigantic Terminal 21 (BTS Asok), where this vibrant city regains its vitality...

Experience Bangkok with me, as the people use to. It's a urban stretch and park walk, we are strolling in the city like locals. There is no tourist stuff here, if you have already done most of the traditional visit and wonder what to do more, this walk is for you !

This park is the spot for Bangkokians runners ! With is huge inner lake, going around by late afternoon is a must do.
