What to Expect

Leave the busy streets of Bangkok behind and drift into a world of wooden houses, friendly locals, and timeless canal traditions. This relaxing 2-hour long-tail boat ride takes you through Thonburi, the historic heart of Bangkok, where life moves at a slower pace — offering a fascinating contrast to the city’s glittering skyscrapers.

Tour Highlights

  • Local Life on the Canals – Pass by stilt houses, family shops, and riverside communities for a glimpse of authentic Bangkok.

  • Khlong Bang Luang & The Artist’s House (Baan Silapin) – Visit a 200-year-old restored house turned artist hub, in a charming Ayutthaya-era canal community.

  • Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen (from the water) – Pause to photograph the 70m golden Buddha towering above the canal.
