点评:Everyone I've told about going for a tour that starts at 10pm and ends at 2am has looked at me like I'm mad. Maybe, but in this case it paid off SO much.
First - don't let the time scare you. Bangkok is so much cooler at night, and with rush hour actually over, you can see way more, way faster than you do in the day. Secondly, the places that you go aren't even open during the day, or aren't anywhere as alive as they are at night. And finally, the guide (Net) and driver we had were delightful, passionate and so much fun to spend an evening with.
We visited four markets, plus a snack break. I was wondering at first if it might get tiring, but it didn't at all - each market was SO unique. From the racy streets of the night markets (with shops that open at 5pm and shut at 5am), to trendy teen hangouts, the Khlong Toei market with all sorts of produce, and Chinatown's wholesale market, all of it was incredibly interesting and there was literally not a single boring moment from start to finish.
Having Net guide us was also amazing. Not only was she super friendly and bubbly (which was a lot, given the hour), but she also engaged with vendors to help us ask questions about what we were seeing - which was super helpful, because we were pretty much the only tourists around at all the locations we went to.
Many tours will take you places you could go on your own or read things online about, but this one really lets you (as a foreigner) access to parts of Bangkok you definitely couldn't manage alone. Everything from the route to the stops is super well planned and organised, and it seriously impressed me.
翻译:我告诉过要参加晚上 10 点开始、凌晨 2 点结束的旅行的每个人都用看我的眼神看我,就像我生气了一样。也许吧,但在这种情况下,它得到了巨大的回报。
首先 - 不要让时间吓到你。曼谷的夜晚凉爽得多,而且随着高峰时间实际上已经过去,您可以比白天看到更多、更快的速度。其次,你去的地方白天都不开放,或者不像晚上那么热闹。最后,我们的导游(Net)和司机非常令人愉快、热情,和我们一起度过了一个愉快的夜晚。
我们参观了四个市场,还吃了点小吃。一开始我想知道这是否会让人累,但一点也不累——每个市场都很独特。从充满活力的夜市街道(商店下午 5 点开门,凌晨 5 点关门),到时尚的青少年聚会场所、出售各种农产品的 Khlong Toei 市场,以及唐人街的批发市场,所有这些都非常有趣,从开始到结束,确实没有一个无聊的时刻。
有网络指导我们也很棒。她不仅超级友好、活泼(考虑到时间,这已经是很多了),而且她还与供应商合作,帮助我们询问有关我们所看到的内容的问题 - 这非常有帮助,因为我们几乎是周围唯一的游客在我们去过的所有地点。
许多旅行团都会带您去一些您可以自己去的地方或在网上阅读相关内容,但这个旅行团确实可以让您(作为外国人)进入曼谷的一些您绝对无法独自游览的地方。从路线到车站的一切都经过精心策划和组织,这给我留下了深刻的印象。
