Bangkok

Yes. In Bangkok, Forest Travel arranges The Temple, Privately: a private blessing at Wat Pho before the gates open, with the reclining Buddha in gold and silence. It belongs to the River & Temples journey, 5–6 days that pair riverside suites with temples opened before the crowds, guided privately so the city's grand face is seen without the throngs.

On the Chao Phraya in Bangkok, the moment Forest Travel calls The River Suite begins with a suite above the river and ends with a private longtail at dusk, the city gliding past. It captures the river light and the quiet luxury of the river districts, and it anchors both the River & Temples journey and the riverside stays the guide describes.

A culinary journey through Bangkok, The Culinary Capital, runs 5–6 days of chef's tables, market mornings and the flavours of the city, by name. Its signature moment, The Chef's Market, starts at dawn in the market with a Thai master, then moves to a private kitchen and a table set for you, including chef's tables that don't take reservations.

Yes. Design & Discretion is a Bangkok journey of 4–5 days built around private galleries, silk ateliers and the quiet luxury of the river districts, arranged privately. It shows the city's hidden soul rather than its grand one, and like every journey here it is a point of departure that your advisor reshapes entirely around you.

Yes. The City & the Sea pairs Bangkok with the Andaman over 9–11 days, woven into a seamless journey that joins culture and beach. It lets you take in the capital's gold temples and river light, then continue to the sea, with your advisor shaping the balance between city and coast around you.

The best time to visit Bangkok is from November to March. Temples such as Wat Pho are opened before the crowds, before the gates, the Chef's Market begins at dawn with a Thai master, and a private longtail on the Chao Phraya sets out at dusk. Your Forest Travel advisor shapes the timing of your Bangkok journey entirely around you.

Bangkok journeys run from 4 to 11 days. Design & Discretion takes 4–5 days, The Culinary Capital 5–6 days and River & Temples 5–6 days. For longer, The City & the Sea pairs Bangkok with the Andaman over 9–11 days, joining culture and beach. These are points of departure rather than packages, and your advisor reshapes the length entirely around you.

Yes. Forest Travel arranges Bangkok entirely around you: temples opened before the crowds, riverside suites and chef's tables that don't take reservations. Moments include a private blessing at Wat Pho, a private longtail on the Chao Phraya at dusk and a private kitchen after a dawn market with a Thai master. The journeys are points of departure, not packages, that your advisor reshapes entirely around you.

For a private journey, plan from around US$1,200 per person per night in Bangkok, the lowest starting figure of Forest Travel's three Thailand guides: Chiang Mai starts from around US$1,400 and Phuket & the Andaman from around US$1,600. That level covers a riverside suite above the Chao Phraya, temples opened before the crowds and chef's tables that don't take reservations. Forest Travel's planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

November to March, the window Forest Travel's Bangkok guide recommends, after the rainy season that runs roughly from mid-May to mid-October. Within the day, the city still rewards timing: Wat Pho before the gates open, the market with a Thai chef at dawn and a private longtail on the Chao Phraya at dusk. Your advisor sets the dates and the hours around you.

For a private trip, the riverside. Forest Travel bases most Bangkok stays in a suite above the Chao Phraya, with a private longtail at dusk and the city gliding past. The river districts also hold the private galleries and silk ateliers of the Design & Discretion journey. Your advisor matches the exact address to your pace and to the rest of your Thailand route.
