Asia Food Tours by Navatas · Old Town and the river
A guide, a fleet of tuk tuks, ten or more tastings and a drink on a rooftop across the river from Wat Arun, finishing just before midnight. Pick it for the late finish and the ride back to your hotel: the night ends without a taxi hunt.
Asia Food Tours runs this one as a food tour first. The listing promises 10+ tastings, with stops for Isan food from northeast Thailand such as chicken fried noodles, a route through the Old Town past temples and the flower market, and a last drink on a rooftop bar that looks over the Chao Phraya to Wat Arun. It lasts four hours and ends just before midnight, when a tuk tuk driver takes you back to your hotel in central Bangkok.
The temples here are scenery. You pass Old Town landmarks after closing time and see Wat Arun lit up from across the water, which is the best way to see it at night anyway. If you want to walk inside a temple, this is the wrong tour; the evening temple tour goes in before closing.
Caveats from the listing: it does not suit people with limited mobility or vegans. Vegetarians are welcome, with some dishes adjusted. The walking is leisurely. The tour meets at Exit 2 of Sam Yan MRT station, in front of the Chamchuri Square complex; the listing also mentions hotel pick-up, so check which applies to your booking.
