Important Notice: During high water and peak season (October–April), canal congestion may cause 45–90-minute delays. Routes may be adjusted to ensure a smooth 2-hour cruise.

Due to Royal Barge Procession rehearsals on October 21, October 28, November 3, and November 6, the tour will operate entirely within Khlong Bangkok Yai and finish inside the canal. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
