Bangkok all in one – the most comprehensive running route that you can imagine. It includes China Town, The Grand Palace and Riverside.
Welcome to the half marathon running tour where you will pass all the Must See attractions of Bangkok. We will start our running tour from Bang Rak and continue to China Gate which is the entrance to Chinatown. This area is a mix of Chinese and Thai cultures and boasts several market alleys and street food stalls. It is a unique, fascinating and photogenic place.
Half way through the route on our way to discover the Rattanakosin Island, is a historic area in the Phra Nakhon District in the city of Bangkok. This area houses some of Thailand’s most famous landmarks, including Giant Swing, the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho. We continue the running tour by heading uphill to the Rama VIII Bridge on the Chao Phraya River. The River of Kings is the major river in Thailand. There are many small canals (khlong) which split off from this main river and local people still live, work, and play along the Chao Phraya.
On this running tour, you will enjoy incredible river views from the Santi Chai Prakan park at Phra Sumen Fort. Located at the northern tip of Rattanakosin Island right next to the main river, this park is a precious, intimate green jewel. There is Banglamphu Museum nearby, which is an abandoned printing house and toady a place for the public to learn about the neighbourhood’s long history and living culture.
Running away from the riverside to Ratchadamnoen Rd. we pass several government offices including the Government House and the Democracy Monument. Upon our return, we will see Wat Saket. This structure temple is best known for its 80 meter high hill called “Golden Mount” and the huge gilded stupa on top of it. There is 318 steps to climb up the hill, but its worth the effort as once upstairs you will have magnificent views of Bangkok in all directions. It was once the highest point in Bangkok and truly a place you should not miss when you visit Bangkok.
A small local advice: dress Appropriately – when you visit most Thai temples. No short pants or short skirts. Shirts must also have sleeves; no spaghetti string straps allowed. On this tour we will not enter the temples so this advice is simply in general.

Had a great half marathon running with Man Witcha. It was a hot, humid day but was nevertheless enjoyable running around the Grand Palace and Chinatown. The tour guide was kind enough to adjust the pace, and make some stops for refreshments.

Ratchanee is a wonderful tour guide! The 21k route was a perfect way to get a crash course on Bangkok. Ratchanee is so open and kind, willing to customize the tour for you and share all of her knowledge. Thank you, Ratchanee, for a great run!

What a wonderful way to keep up with my ultra marathon training in Bangkok! Ratchanee is an excellent tour guide and our early morning half marathon route through the old city was a lovely way to explore Bangkok. Highly recommend to all runners. Why run alone when you can meet a new running friend and learn more about Bangkok? Thank you so much Ratchanee. See you next time!

My guide, Witcha, was amazing. We saw temples, the palace, a park and ran on the riverbank. He even put up with my slower pace. Not used to the humidity! Would do book this again.

Can’t thank you more Go Running Tours for having this run!!
21k felt a bit overwhelming for me at the beginning but as i started running and watched the beautiful city through my guide, Ratchanee’s eyes, it didn’t feel like i covered half marathon distance at all. The route was just planned in a perfect way to cover all the sites, monuments, places, etc which one should not miss before leaving bangkok.
Thanks a lot Ratchanee for being such an awesome guide, and giving details of each and every place we pass through and the pics and candid moments you capture during the run are just really really awesome. Also the food place you took for breakfast after the long run was just purely ah-roi. Made some wonderful memories during our run and the chat we had all through the run. Came to bangkok as a solo traveller and leaving with a marathon buddy now 🙂
Will definitely do this run again during my next visits to bangkok.

I can’t thank you enough. “Ah-Roi” breakfast after the long run and hydration with coconut juice is important. Good luck, Manoj at Singapore Marathon. You’ll be great. See you again soon!

I joined Ratchanee for the 21km around Bangkok a few days ago and it was excellent. Brilliantly planned out, brilliantly managed, and even coordinated to get lots of photos whilst running past some of the major landmarks in Bangkok.
Additionally Ratchanee is a great guide and showed me many different areas in Bangkok I didn’t know about.
Cannot recommend using Go Running Tours highly enough and I will certainly using them as and when in Bangkok and all the other locations they operate in worldwide.

Even though I was a very slow runner in the heat Ratchanee took all the time I needed to let us complete our Bangkok half marathon. She showed me around all the sights, invited me to a coconut drink and made sure I had enough drinking water on the way. I recommend a running tour in any city, don’t be afraid you might not be fit enough! Thank you Ratchanee for that run and taking me back to my hotel, which was a bit off the beaten track, by speedboat and Skytrain 😊

I spent four days running in Bangkok with Ratchanee. It was the highlight of my trip! Ratchanee is a wonderful tour guide. It was a great experience to run through Bangkok in the early morning. Ratchanee makes the run fun and safe.
I did the run on the first day and I was blown away by how much there is to see and how great of a tour guide Ratchanee is. I loved the run so much I signed up for runs for the next three days in a row–four days straight. Each day was great. Ratchanee took me on different routes each day. Every day I saw different sections of Bangkok. In addition to showing me great sites, Ratchanee made the tour fun by explaining the sites to me and stopping for coconut juice at just the right times.
I can’t wait to go back to Bangkok to run with Ratchanee again and see more of Bangkok. This is the best tour I have ever done.
