Have a hearty hotel breakfast or a quick local cafe (coffee, Thai omelette, rice or congee) before a full day; this saves time and suits early departures. Check your hotel's breakfast hours — typically 6:30–10:30am.
Drive north-east to Safari World (allow 45–75 minutes depending on traffic); arriving early gives you the best chance to see morning feedings and cooler conditions. Check traffic and route (Grab/taxi or pre-booked transfer are simplest).
A combined drive-through Safari Park plus Marine Park with animal shows (dolphins, sea lion, bird shows) and close-up encounters — great for wildlife photos and families. Typical opening hours are around 9:00–17:00, but show times vary, so check the daily schedule and book tickets in advance.
Head back to your hotel to shower and rest after the long outdoor day; Bangkok traffic can be heavy late afternoon so allow flexibility. Use this time to freshen up before evening explorations.
Wander Yaowarat Road and side alleys to sample street food, gold shops and markets — the area comes alive at dusk and is ideal for food-focused exploration. Chinatown is open all evening, but individual stalls and shops have varying hours; peak food activity is typically 18:00–23:00.
A popular, lively seafood stall-restaurant on Yaowarat Road serving fresh grilled fish, prawns and crab dishes — great for an authentic Chinatown dinner atmosphere. It’s busy in the evening; expect a short wait and check opening times (usually late afternoon to late night).
Finish with sweet treats from local stalls (mango sticky rice, coconut pancakes) and a slow stroll through illuminated streets before returning to your hotel.
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast — riverside cafes near the Chao Phraya are pleasant and set you up for a day of temples and riverfront walking. Most cafes open from about 8:00am; check individual opening times.
Visit Bangkok’s most famous landmark — the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha — to appreciate Thai architecture and royal history. Opening hours are usually 8:30–3:30pm; dress respectfully (no bare shoulders or shorts).
Have lunch with a river view — Sala Rattanakosin serves Thai fare beside Wat Arun views, making for a scenic midday break. Check restaurant opening hours (often from late morning).
Choose a lighter activity: visit a museum, explore riverside malls such as ICONSIAM, or book a spa treatment to rest before the evening cruise. Opening hours vary by venue — check in advance.
Board a classic river dinner cruise to see Bangkok’s lit-up riverside landmarks (Wat Arun, Grand Palace) while dining onboard. Boarding commonly starts around 18:30–19:00 with cruises lasting about 2–3 hours; confirm boarding time when you book.
After the cruise, head to Asiatique the Riverfront for a drink, a walk along the river and some late shopping; many shops and bars stay open until 22:00–23:00. Check Asiatique and bar opening times.
Use the morning for a relaxed visit to a museum or Wat Pho if you missed it earlier; check opening times (Wat Pho typically opens from 8:00am). This keeps the hot midday hours free before the evening e-scooter tour.
Try classic Pad Thai or local favourites to recharge; Pad Thai Thip Samai near the Old City is famous but check current hours and queue times. Alternatively pick a nearby local restaurant for quicker service.
Return to your hotel to rest, rehydrate and wear comfortable clothes for the e-scooter tour; confirm helmet availability and operator safety requirements. Operators usually advise arriving 30–60 minutes early to brief and fit helmets.
Meet your guided e-scooter tour operator in the Old City or by the river for a safety briefing, route overview and scooter check. Guided tours typically include helmets and lights; confirm booking and operator opening hours beforehand.
Tour historic Rattanakosin, pass by the Grand Palace viewpoint, cross to the riverside flower/fruit markets and experience lively streets as the city transitions from day to night — e-scooters are ideal for a compact, fun evening route. Tours usually run 2.5–3.5 hours and are best started late afternoon to avoid midday heat.
After returning scooters, enjoy informal dining — Khao San Road has many street stalls and casual restaurants for noodle dishes, grilled meats and cold drinks. It’s lively at night; individual stalls open late, but quality and hours vary.
