What is TukMe?

TukMe is a Bangkok-based tour operator led by local insiders, offering small-group and private Tuk Tuk experiences that make the city easy—and exciting—to explore.

TukMe runs thoughtfully paced routes that match how Bangkok actually comes alive. By day, Sacred Corners focuses on temples and the Grand Palace area (daytime only). By night, The Secrets of Chinatown threads through Yaowarat, Talat Noi, and Songwat; 6 Senses – Street Food & Dining mixes market bites with a sweet finish; and Speakeasy Bar Hopping delivers three curated cocktail stops. Tours use custom electric Tuk Tuks (capacity: 5 guests + tour assistant), include an English-speaking assistant (other languages on request), and clearly state inclusions—like drinks on the speakeasy experience. Expect local context, smooth logistics, and routes designed to show Bangkok’s character without the guesswork.

 

Here is what to expect for the Night tour:

What’s included:

• Duration: 3.5 hours
• Format: 3 curated bar stops (venues can vary by Premium vs. Standard Tuk Tuk)
• Vehicle: Electric Tuk Tuk (capacity: 5 guests + tour assistant)
• Host: English-speaking assistant (other languages on request)
• Drinks: Included during the ride/experience

1. Sunset drinks (Chinatown rooftop).
   A hidden rooftop at the heart of Chinatown (Yaowarat) sets the tone—think skyline glimpses over historic shop rows and temple roofs as the city lights warm up. Yaowarat is one of Bangkok’s most atmospheric night districts, which is why it’s a natural prologue.
2. Whiskey on Velvet.
   Low, intimate lighting. Velvet banquettes. Chandeliers and impeccable stir-downs—from smoky whiskey blends to Thai-inflected signatures. Your assistant can help you talk flavor (citrus vs. spirit-forward, smoky vs. bright).
3. The Last Sip in the Kingdom.
   A Shanghai-chic, Prohibition-era mood for the nightcap—vintage décor, soft jazz, and a final polished cocktail.

Good to know: Thailand’s legal drinking age is 20; bring a photo ID. Many bars are smart-casual (closed shoes; skip beachwear).

Why Bangkok is perfect for this right now
The city’s cocktail culture has exploded—Bangkok bars feature prominently in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025, which shows up in better spirits programs, seasonal Thai ingredients, and bartender-led menus. Translation: you’ll meet pros who can tailor drinks to your palate.

Quick planning for your night

• Hydrate & pace (it’s warm even after dark).
• Cash + card (cards at bars are common, but small cash helps for tips/incidentals).
• Getting home: BTS Skytrain runs roughly 06:00–24:00; last trains vary by line/station, so plan connections accordingly, or use rideshare/taxis later.

More great things to do in Bangkok at night

These are not part of your TukMe tour—just smart ways to round out an evening before or after.

1) Wander Yaowarat’s neon + Talat Noi’s lanes

Before your first cocktail, stroll Yaowarat Road for the glow and photos; slip into Talat Noi for murals, shrines, and heritage alleys—perfect scene-setting without committing to a full food crawl.

2) Riverside night market & wheel at Asiatique

A riverside complex with restaurants, craft stalls, and the Asiatique Sky wheel (hours typically to midnight). It’s a relaxed, open-air contrast to inner-city buzz. 

3) Chao Phraya river cruise (sunset or dinner)

If you want a calmer pre- or post-bar experience, consider a sunset (≈16:00–18:30) or dinner cruise (≈19:00–21:00) for skyline views and breezes—easy logistics and great orientation.

4) Muay Thai at Rajadamnern Stadium

On select nights, catch RWS or traditional cards at Rajadamnern—a classic Bangkok night out with production values that still feel rooted in the sport’s heritage. Check the stadium’s official schedule for days/times.

5) Rooftop moment, minimal fuss

Bangkok’s rooftops are famously varied—some elegant, some casual. If you didn’t start on a rooftop with your tour, it’s easy to add one before or after (mind dress codes, and consider the last BTS if you’re not ridesharing).

 

Bottom line: there are loads of things to do in Bangkok at night—neon strolls through Yaowarat and Talat Noi, easy street-food stops, riverfront evenings, rooftops, even a Muay Thai night. If you want a seamless, stylish anchor for your plans, don’t miss TukMe’s Speakeasy Bar Hopping by electric Tuk Tuk (venues may vary)—then build around it with the ideas above. Pick what fits your vibe, pace it well, and let Bangkok do the rest.
