2.Baiyoke Observation Deck with Lunch/Dinner Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,749 reviews · 2 hours · from $25

The buffet style food was excellent, the choice was really good as was the quality. After lunch you can go still higher to the 83rd floor (I think). If you want to go on the rotating top floor you will need to climb stairs. Overall experience was brilliant, well worth a try.”

Along the way you really see everything: rich and poor side by side, stunning buildings, and even monitor lizards resting in the water along the banks. After that we enjoyed an authentic Thai lunch — and I mean real Thai style: seriously spicy 🔥 We got back on our bikes, covered several highlights, and ended at the Big Buddha. So impressive and overwhelming, it truly leaves you speechless. I can highly recommend Otto — go explore the city with him and you’re guaranteed an unforgettable…”

We had enough time to roam on our own while also getting a good comment of all the important aspects. Wonderfully organized, punctual, safe. Thanks for making this a great tour.

7.Siam Amazing Park: Water Park Ticket and Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 274 reviews · 1 day · from $24

“excellent value for money, lots of rides for all tastes, delicious buffet with great choice, was there on a Friday and didn't have to queue anywhere apart from the log boat ride. The big disappointment was that they won't let our 8 yr old on most of ride because he was 1cm under the 130cm requirement, which was silly as some rides were completely harmless for his age. The wave pool is over-rated and is nothing special or worthy of mention.”
