A self guided audio tour of Bangkok.
Bangkok moves at its own pace, somewhere between the slow drift of a longtail boat on the Chao Phraya and the bright rush of a night market late into the evening. You wander from temple courtyards still touched by incense smoke into neighbourhoods where the street food changes block by block, and the old canals surface unexpectedly between the towers. It is enormous and generous, a place that keeps giving the longer you let yourself get a little lost.
In the app, 200 stops in Bangkok are narrated aloud, about 5h 40m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.

A short walk through the heart of royal Bangkok taking in the dazzling Grand Palace complex, the sacred Emerald Buddha, the textile museum tucked inside the palace walls, and the shaded lawns of Saranrom Park just beyond the gate.
Cross to the quieter western bank of the Chao Phraya to climb Wat Arun's iconic spire, then wander through riverside temples, a historic mosque, and finally loop back past the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho.
Start at the legendary silk trader's teak house museum then follow the canal through palace gardens and royal shrines before finishing at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre on the edge of buzzing Siam Square.
Begin on the world-famous backpacker strip then slip into quieter lanes past the National Gallery, golden temple spires, a neighbourhood mosque, and the elegant Democracy Monument.
Spend a morning at one of the world's great weekend markets then stroll through the cool shade of Chatuchak Park and Wachirabenchathat Park before winding past the fresh produce stalls of Or Tor Kor Market.
Explore Bangkok's stately royal quarter, moving from the teak halls of Vimanmek Mansion and Dusit Palace through the broad ceremonial Royal Plaza to the marble spires of Wat Benchamabophit.
