5 Places to visit in BANGKOK (Co van Kessel Guide)
5 Places to visit in Bangkok.
** JJ GREEN HAS CLOSED DOWN SINCE SEPTEMBER 2018! **
If you are planning your trip to Bangkok, you’ll probably hear the same things over and over again. The grand palace, reclining buddha and khao san road. Now we are not saying these places are bad, but we would just like to give you some alternatives.
Here is OUR list of places to visit in Bangkok.
1. Wat Prayoon
The adress is 24 Prajadhipok Rd, แขวง วัดกัลยาณ์ Khet Thon Buri, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10600.
You can easily reach it by the Chao Phraya River Express boat service by alighting at the Memorial Bridge pier and walking over the bridge across the river.
Wat Prayoon is open everyday and there is no entrance fee.
2. Saphan Taksin Park
The address is Soi Charoen Nakhon 13, the best way to get here, is to take the BTS or the Chao Phraya express boat to Saphan Taksin, and then walking across the bridge or by taking the local ferry boat.
3. Airplane Graveyard
Ramkhamhaeng Road | Hua Mak, Bang Kapi, Bangkok 10240,
The best way to get to the Airplane Graveyard is by Taxi.
*Pro tip: Use Grab Taxi, you can write the address in the APP, so there should be no confusion for the driver.
It is open from 9 am till 4pm.
The entrance fee depends on what the family wants you to pay it is normally around 200-400 baht.
4. JJ GREEN
เลขที่ 1 ถนนกำแพงเพชร 3, แขวงจตุจักร, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900
1 Kamphaeng Phet 3, Chatuchak, Bangkok
You can get here by taxi, MRT: Chatuchak or BTS: Mo Chit
Open from thursdays until sundays, from 6 pm till 1.30 am.
JJ Green is located next to the Chatuchak weekend market, which closes around 5pm. So it's perfect to combine these 2 for a big day of shopping!
5. Co van Kessel
The address is: Charoen Krung soi 24.
Co van Kessel bike tours and boat tours provides a refreshing alternative to the tired tourist experience. We do not battle the crowds at clichéd destinations promoted in guide books, but turn your attention to quaint local communities and charming excursions into the fascinating lifestyle and culture of real Thai people. Every day is different and every tour is a surprise as we focus not on destinations, but lose ourselves in the enchantment of the journey itself.
Co van Kessel, an innovative and adventurous Dutchman, pioneered bicycle tours in Bangkok more than 30 years ago. As a longtime resident and self-professed lover of Bangkok, he understood very well the picture of accelerated urban development (gridlocked traffic, concrete towers, and choking pollution) that has plagued the recent image of the city. He also had a hunch that this was not what Bangkok or Thailand was all about.
Making it his goal to re-discover Bangkok, Co spent thousands of hours on his mountain bike exploring the vast network of local streets, alleyways, footpaths and canals between the main urban thoroughfares. What he found, lurking behind the facade of modernization, were hidden worlds of peace and tranquility, a picture of “real” Thai life that has remained unchanged for countless decades; an identity of a city that is true to the Thai people, yet largely unknown to outsiders.
Whether it’s the colorful sights and smells of the local markets, the fascinating life of locals along the canals, or the surprising existence of bountiful green belts, Co discovered the essence of what makes Bangkok one of Asia’s most captivating cities. Since then, it has been his mission to share these discoveries with the rest of the world.
What we do:
Our mission at Co van Kessel Bangkok Tours is to provide our guests with a singularly unique travel experience in Thailand. All our tours use Co’s extensive topographical knowledge of the greater Bangkok area as well as his keen eye for the interesting to take you where nobody else can or will.
We aim not to bore you with talk, but to immerse you in an experience where your individual fascinations emerge.
Bicycles, boats, and our feet become the tools we use to gain access to the previously inaccessible, behind-the-scenes lifestyle of the Thai. Here the roots of an ancient culture will become evident in a way you never could have imagined.

This is what is badly needed for tourists visiting Bangkok....really nice and informative video....
One of the best informative videos. There's a long history of Wat Prayoon. I've been so much familiar with this temple since my childhood. Thanks for your kind interest of our heritage. Thailand can offer you more adventures. Stay safe and healthy my dear.
Cool,enjoyed that. Visited last year and planning another trip early next year. Might see you guys when there.
Absolutely perfect, just what I needed thank you so much, Kop Kuhn khap!
Coming to Bangkok next week and I can’t wait to do the bicycle boat tour with you. Thank you so much for all your informative videos 🙏
been there had a great time...great food reasonably priced nice people..lots to do
That is hilarious. I've been to Bangkok about 5 times over the last few years and walk extensively to find stuff off the beaten path, one time I stumbled upon the turtle garden and loved it. I cant wait to go back there, and when you opened with a shot on it I was like "Hey! I know that place!"

Next trip...😁
this is very out of date. JJgreen as closed and the airplanes parts have all gone now.
Nice video coming soon on 20th july
How can they get trumps down?
Thanks for the video. Just want to ask, what is your rule in taking photos while riding a bike? Can we ask the guide to stop anytime we want? Or are there designated places to stop and take pictures.

Hi Edwin, thank you for your interest in our tours. It is allowed to take pictures anywhere you want. We always have 2 guides with you during the tour, so there's always a opportunity to stop and take a picture :)

Thanks for the reply. I'm just thinking that it will be quite rude to other guests if we keep on stopping and taking photos.

How much is the entrance fees
Is there any program to teach how to ride bicycles 😅 I really want to learn and explore the city with bicycle.

I suggest you learn how to ride a bike in your home country before you travel. I imagine it would be a bit overwhelming to learn to ride in Bangkok. Find a local park where you live and go with someone who is an experienced cyclist

There is no such thing as Thai culture, every thing that u people practice day to day in your religion, culture, costume & the curries was actually inherited from the your ancestors who were Hindu & Buddhist empires from India that ruled the entire south east Asia for almost 1500 years before the arrival of colonial rulers in the 14th century
