Overview

On the Ruam Sab Market Lunch & Canal Boat Experience, you’ll step straight into Bangkok’s midday rhythm, eating where local office workers actually have lunch. Your guide will walk you through the Ruam Sab food court, introducing classic Thai comfort dishes like stir‑fried holy basil with chicken, papaya salad, braised pork leg over rice, noodle soup, and stir‑fried wide rice noodles, explaining what makes each one special and how locals customize flavor with chilies, lime, and fish sauce. You’ll also enjoy traditional sweets such as grilled banana and crispy Thai pancakes, plus your choice of Thai iced tea or fresh fruit smoothie to cool down like a true Bangkokian.
As you glide toward Pratunam, you’ll see canal‑side neighborhoods, bridges, and hidden corners of the city that most visitors never notice, before stepping off right by Bangkok’s central shopping district with easy access to CentralWorld and the BTS for your onward adventures.

What to expect

  1. Asoke
    30m
    In the heart of Sukhumvit, Asoke is where modern Bangkok works, shops and eats, all within a few busy city blocks.
  2. Ruam Sab Market
    2h
    A true local favourite, this market is where people working in Asoke come to eat, far from the usual tourist trail.
  3. Khlong Saen Saep
    20m · Admission ticket included
    No Bangkok experience feels more local than jumping on the express boat along Khlong Saen Saep. Weaving through the city's backwater arteries, this 18-kilometre canal cuts straight through neighbourhoods tourists rarely reach — wooden shophouses, spirit shrines, and laundry lines strung above the water. After a morning spent eating your way through the city, it's the perfect way to decompress, catch a breeze, and watch everyday Bangkok life drift by from the water.
  4. Pratunam Market
    Pass by
    Finish at one of Bangkok’s best-known shopping districts, famous for its clothing markets and endless rows of stalls.
