Next, we will hop on a tuk-tuk to ride past Bangkok landmarks like the City Pillar Shrine, and the Ministry of Defence to head over to Kor Panich, a legendary Michelin Bib Gourmand mango sticky rice shop that uses an 80-year-old family recipe passed down through generations. Conclude the trip by trying out this sweet delicacy after which our guide can give you suggestions about exploring nearby street food options (at your own time) or advise you on available transport options to return to your hotel.
