Why Choose This Experience?

Few minutes away from Bangkok, lets travel through Bangkok's old waterways where modernization have yet to take over. Lies in these canals are roots of Bangkok, a cultural heritage that will fill you with euphoria of how you have discovered old Bangkok.

What To Expect?

The Concept: 

Bangkok is a city that is full of opportunities and with that being said it has now become a business hug but just across the river there is an old Bangkok that is deeply hidden along the canals. A Bangkok that still holds a heritage and overlooked by all the modernization. On this tour we will explore Bangkok canals by a longtail boat.

This is a perfect tour to get to know the city better. Whether it is your first day in the city or you have been many times before, we are confident you will discover something new.

The Plan:

The tour starts on the Thonburi side of the river, which is traditionally more residential.

After meeting the guide and other group members at Wat Kalayanamit, your guide will give you a brief introduction and as a group you will start your journey whizzing around old Bangkok.

You will ride along the canals discovering temples which some are famous and some are not famous. We will stop at The Artist House where you will be given free time to roam and explore around. Through out the 2 Hours canal tour, you will also pass by the famous Big Buddha Temple before finish the tour off at Wat Na Klang
