What to expect

We aim to showcase the genuine beauty of Bangkok, which is rarely seen by tourists. We venture behind big buildings, along lesser-known paths, and zigzag through slums to witness the vibrant lives of local communities.

Small Alley

We use small alleys to commute through local communities instead of the main road.

Local Market

We wander through local markets, enjoy street food, and witness the real life of Bangkok.

No Tourist

We do non-touristy things. We use local-only pathways to avoid the tourist crowds.
