This 9 to 5 tour of the ethnic heart of Bangkok with Michael, Mu (an anthropolist) and Ku (photographer about to start US media program) was a dazzling view of the many communities of Baangkok. We started on public transportation from our hotel, then walked mostly with public boat and private boat rides at the end. Micheal was prepared for... More

In just under a day, Michael of BangkokVanguards gave us an exciting and comprehensive insight into Bangkok street life. You really can sense how he feels for his city. Afterwards, you will too! Taxi, ferry, river taxi, TukTuk, SkyTrain... All levels of Bangkok Transport are included. High street, side street. Temples that are not overrun with tourist crowds, an artist... More

This was my third visit to Bangkok and had previously done some kind of walking tour which I really enjoyed. Was looking for something a bit different and chose the Bangkok 360 offbeat with the vanguards. Firstly communication withy Michael was excellent, prompt responses with full information. My guide Mu was excellent, full of relevant and interesting information but gave... More

This is the best tour we have ever been on in Asia (and we have done many). If you want the real Bangkok without the typical "tour guide stuff", right from the heart: This is for you. The Bangkok Vanguards team have stunned us with their very personal pension for the city. We went to unknown temples, hidden backstreets, and... More

It is easy to look up the "must see" places and sites in Bangkok and just as easy to visit them as well. It is far more difficult to see beyond and behind the glitter and neon to the heart and soul of a city. The Bangkok 360 Offbeat tour does an admirable job of this in just one day.... More

It was purely by chance I stumbled across these guys. My decision to join their night ride in Chinatown was very last minute and I had no idea what to expect. I don't regret my decision in the least, it was the best thing I've done in BKK in ages. I got to see parts of the city I didn't... More

Join Michael and his "caravan of awesomeness" as he calls it on a half-day cultural tour of Bangkok's rarely seen back alleys where you will experience the side of Bangkok many locals rarely see. Michael is an enthusiastic cyclist and community organizer who is half Thai and half German. He has painstakingly explored the routes that you take on the... More

I've been living in Bangkok for several months now and Mike took me to places I never would have found on my own. He brought great passion to every minute of the day and kept our group happy, motivated and ready for more - a tough task when biking through the city in March (it was hot!). We met charming... More

I've done several adventures with the Bangkok Vanguards and I keep looking at new activities that they post because they are always incredibly amazing. Not only will your adventure hosts be the most kind and jolly people you will meet, but their passion for Thai culture is truly inspiring! If you want to experience Thailand through the views of local... More
