Bangkok canal tour by long-tail boat (2 hours)
Bangkok




















Hop on a typical Thai long-tail boat and explore the canals of Thonburi, once the capital of Thailand.
During our 2-hour canal adventure you will explore life on and around the klongs (canals) and get a glimpse of how the local people live. Elderly people sitting on the chairs on the wooden docks of their tiny homes overlooking the canal, women hanging laundry to dry, and children jumping into the water and swimming in the canal, amazing!
We will make a stop at Baan Silapin (The Artist's House), a traditional Thai house that has been converted into a public space to preserve art and traditional performance styles such as puppetry. The wooden house, over 200 years old and lovingly restored by its owner, sits at the heart of a small community of rustic shophouses which are connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the klong (canal).
Furthermore, we pass Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, built in the mid-Ayutthaya period in the Phasi Charoen District in Thonburi. The boat driver will stop the boat so that you can take a good photo of the huge Buddha statue at this temple. The Buddha statue is towering nearly 70 meters above the ground, the height of a 20-story building, and it is Bangkok's biggest Buddha image, with a width of 40 meters in its cross-legged meditation posture.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The meeting point is at the bus stop directly opposite Elefin Coffee and Bangkok Bank on Maha Rat Road, just a short walk south of Wat Pho.

Great trip, boring shop though
Tour guide was great. We had Joyce. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to be around. It was raining on our tour but it was honestly nice since the boat was covered and it was cooler. We saw the giant boudha and the ride was a blast! We stopped at an “art market” for 30 min though when 5 min would have been plenty. So we just waited. Spent more time there then at the temple. Perhaps it was because of the rain. So 75% was great!
