Bangkok Canal Tour: 2-Hour Longtail Boat Ride

Step aboard for an approximately 2-hour long-tail boat tour through the canals of Thonburi, Bangkok’s lesser-known but deeply authentic side. Cruise past stilt houses, waving locals, and hidden temples, stopping at the charming riverside community of Khlong Bang Luang, home to the famous Artist’s House. Along the way, you’ll pass by Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, which houses Bangkok’s largest Buddha, providing a fascinating glimpse into the city’s spiritual heritage. This tour offers a unique perspective on Bangkok, showcasing its humble wooden homes perched above the water and the daily lives of those who live along the canals.

Unlike the bustling tourist spots, this journey reveals the quieter, more traditional side of Bangkok and its rich cultural history. During the tour, there may be a short wait at one of the water locks that regulate canal levels, an authentic part of the canal experience and beyond the control of the tour operators. Designed for a maximum of 12 people per boat, this intimate tour ensures a personalized experience, allowing you to fully appreciate the contrasts between modern Bangkok and its serene waterways, while gaining insight into the local way of life.
