All our Bangkok tours run as small group tours, but sometimes you want the day to yourselves: your own guide, your own pace, and an itinerary that bends around your family or group instead of the other way round. A private tour gives you exactly that, whether it is a longtail boat through the canals with just your group on board, or a full day to Ayutthaya, the floating markets or the River Kwai with your own van, driver and guide.
Private works especially well in Bangkok. You skip the meeting point entirely, since a private tour can start straight from your hotel at a time that suits you. You linger where you want, whether that is an extra half hour photographing the trains at Maeklong or a longer lunch on the river, and with three or four people the per-person price often ends up surprisingly close to the group rate.
Most of the tours on this website can be arranged as a private departure on request, and we are adding dedicated private tours, including private longtail boat charters and customised full-day trips with your own car and driver. Tell us what you have in mind via our contact page or WhatsApp: which places, which date, and how many people. We will come back the same day with an honest proposal and a per-group price, with no obligation.
Tell us where you want to go, on which date, and with how many people. The contact page or WhatsApp both work, and a rough idea is enough. We check availability with the operator and come back the same day with a per-group price. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
On the day itself your guide or driver comes to your hotel lobby at the agreed time. There is no meeting point to find and no other guests to wait for. Cancellation works the same way as on our group tours: free up to 24 hours before departure.
These are the requests we get most often. Treat them as starting points, since every one of them can be stretched, shortened or combined differently.
The group version of our Ayutthaya day tour covers four temples with lunch. As a private trip you choose the temples and the order, start early to beat the coaches, and stay into the late afternoon if photography is the point of your day. Our Ayutthaya guide covers what there is to choose from.
A private van makes the market combination genuinely better. The railway market folds its stalls back only when a train passes, and with your own driver you time the visit to a train instead of hoping the coach schedule lines up. Add the floating market, about half an hour away, and you are back in Bangkok for a late lunch.
Private tours are priced per group, not per person, so the quote depends on your group size, the vehicle needed and the places on your list. That is why we quote each request individually instead of publishing one rate. With three or four people, a private day trip usually lands close to what the same group would pay on a scheduled tour. Entrance fees are listed separately in the quote, and asking costs nothing.
A private longtail charter through the Thonburi canals in the morning, lunch near the river, then Chinatown on foot in the afternoon as the street kitchens open. This is the day we suggest to first-time visitors with one free day in the city.
Two or three days is usually enough. Weekends and the December high season fill earlier, and same-day requests sometimes work out when a guide is free, so it never hurts to ask on WhatsApp.
Yes. Private day trips start from your hotel lobby. For boat and walking tours in the city centre we agree a starting pier or a lobby nearby, whichever is easier for you.
Within reason, yes. Your guide will tell you honestly what still fits. Opening hours and the train times at places like Maeklong are the usual constraints, not our flexibility.
The same as the rest of our tours: free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. If your plans wobble, tell us early and we move the date instead.
Yes. Tell us your headcount and we quote the right vehicle, or a second van and guide when the group is big enough to need one.
