We promote Bangkok's cultural heritage through private excursions, team-building activities, games and quizzes.
Bangkok possesses a rich and diverse cultural heritage to explore.
Choose local art and museum insiders.
Exploring Bangkok's museums, art galleries, historic districts, and quirky places with a French curator like Eric Monteil and his team of local insiders offers numerous benefits. Firstly, Thailand's culture and history are rich and complex: Eric and his team will provide valuable insights and historical context to significant events. Secondly, the language barrier and scarcity of narrative content in French and English can make understanding exhibitions challenging. Both Francophone and Anglophone-speaking local insiders with expertise in the subject will make the excursion smoother and more informative. Rock Around Bangkok's gang will share its passion and knowledge, anecdotes, unusual stories, secrets, as well as their local life experiences and interactions with locals that are not found in any tourist guide book. Welcome on board for an amazing cultural journey in Bangkok.
Private cultural excursions and team-building.
The cultural excursions we organise are guided and tailor-made journeys through museums, art galleries, historic districts, and other quirky locations in Bangkok. This also holds true for our culturally-oriented team-building activities. For private excursions, we limit groups to 10 participants in order to enhance the depth of exploration and understanding of a subject, address questions, and facilitate more substantive discussions, rather than focusing on superficial aspects. This approach enriches the visitor's experience by providing targeted insights into artistic, cultural, historical, and societal perspectives, among other aspects. For our team-building operations, we limit the groups to 20 participants due to the nature of the targeted venues: museums, art galleries, historic monuments, etc. (Keeping silence or being quiet is greatly appreciated in such venues).
Over 50 museums in Bangkok await your visit.
Bangkok, the sprawling capital of Thailand, is renowned not only for its golden and historic temples, narrow bustling streets, redlight districts, skyscrapers, spicy dishes, street-food, and floating markets, but also for its eclectic museums, art galleries, and numerous other cultural venues that continually grow in number.
