This tour visits religious sites. To respect this and for your own comfort, please wear clothing that covers your shoulders, waist and knees. Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the predominantly hot and humid Bangkok climate.
Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour: This tour visits a local market vendor who shows you how to fold lotus flower petals like Thai people often do when using them in worship. You’ll have a chance to try preparing the flowers for yourself and learn how local people use them at temples.
You'll also visit the small community of Ban Baat who have been making alms bowls for monks by hand since the late 1700s. These days most monk’s bowls are factory made, but there are a handful of families preserving the traditional methods. You'll stop to meet one of these families who will give you the chance to try your hand at whichever stage of bowl-making they happen to be at during your visit.
While we strongly recommend that all travellers are vaccinated against COVID-19 to reduce the risk of transmission and avoid putting undue strain on healthcare services, vaccinations are not a requirement to join an Urban Adventures tour.
