Overview

During our ‘Canals of Bangkok’ tour you will explore life on and around the klongs (canals) of Bangkok and get a glimpse of how the local people live. Elderly people sitting on the chairs on the wooden docks of their tiny homes overlooking the canal, women hanging laundry to dry, men fishing and children jumping into the water and swimming in the canals, amazing!
During this tour you will use different types of boats: the Chao Phraya Express boat, the typical Thai long-tail boats and small rocket-boats to explore the narrowest canals. The guide will take you ashore to visit a temple or market and explain you all you want to know about the history and Thai way of life.
Our canal tour is unique and offers you an unforgettable insight of the life on and around the klongs of Bangkok!

What's included

  • Delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant
  • Pick up from hotel in central Bangkok

  • Chao Phraya express boat, long-tail boat and rocket-boat
  • Transfer back to hotel (tour ends at the pier in Chinatown or a pier of your choice along the route)

What to expect

  1. The Chao Phraya River
    2h
    The Chao Phraya River remains the life blood of Bangkok and is a life-giver to Thailand's various provinces through which it flows.
    No stay in the city is complete without a trip on this famous river, passing temples and some of the city's landmarks.
  2. 4h
    Nonthaburi is directly northwest of Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River and it is the principal city of the district and province of the same name in Thailand.
    Not many foreign tourists visit Nonthaburi, thus it offers a glimpse of local culture and life, away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. You'll find a huge network of waterways in Nonthaburi, making it therefore a great way to experience the life from a different point of view.
