As you glide through the canals, you'll discover the charm of local life, passing wooden stilt houses, vibrant riverside temples, and scenes of daily activities along the water's edge. The tour also treats you to breathtaking views of iconic landmarks, including the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, from a unique perspective. This tranquil and scenic experience offers an immersive glimpse into Bangkok's rich cultural heritage and vibrant river life.

What to expect

  1. Bangkok Canal
    3h · Admission ticket included
    Enjoy a long tail boat journey in Bangkok. Meet your guide at River City Shopping mall and visit the old city of Thonburi, an independent province until it was merged with Bangkok in 1971. Experience the local way of living, rarely seen from the other side of town. Historically, the Thai capital Bangkok was crisscrossed by klongs (canals), and gained the nickname "Venice of the East". Klongs were used for transportation and for floating markets, but also for sewage disposal. Today, most of the khlongs of Bangkok have been filled in, although the Thonburi side of Bangkok (covering areas west of Chao Phraya River) still retains several of its larger khlongs.
