Amazing to see life along the huge canal system in Bangkok.
Our guide was excellent and went overboard to make our tour interesting, educational and was willing to deviate from the original itinerary to add interest.

Awesome boat ride with fully engaged
The 2-hour boat ride included visits to two different stops: one at a temple featuring a massive Buddha statue and the other at Artist’s house. The overall experience was delightful, thanks to the presence of a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Here’s a brief overview of the locations with some historical context:
1. Temple with Huge Buddha: The first stop on the boat ride was at a temple housing a magnificent Buddha statue. This serene location provided a glimpse into the local spiritual practices and beliefs. The Buddha statue, towering in its grandeur, served as a focal point for reflection and admiration. The temple’s tranquil ambiance offered visitors a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
2. Artist’s House: The second stop took us to the charming abode of a local artist. Stepping into this creative sanctuary was akin to entering a world of artistic wonder. The house was adorned with captivating artworks, each telling a unique story. Exploring the artist’s house allowed us to appreciate the beauty of self-expression and creativity. Engaging with the artist and witnessing the creative process firsthand added a layer of depth to the overall experience.
Throughout the boat ride, our tour guide provided insightful commentary, offering historical and cultural context to enrich our understanding of the locations we visited. Their passion for the local heritage was evident in the way they shared anecdotes and information, making the journey not only enjoyable but also educational.
In conclusion, the 2-hour boat ride with stops at the temple with the huge Buddha and Artist’s house was a truly enriching experience. The combination of spiritual contemplation, artistic inspiration, and informative guidance from our tour guide made it a memorable outing. Whether you seek tranquility, cultural insights, or creative inspiration, this boat ride offers a well-rounded experience that caters to varied interests.

Great fun but definitely not for everyone.
I had fun, saw some great temple sights and went to a really great floating market; but its not good for all ages, only 18-55 able bodied and confident swimmers as access on / off is poor (old school), waters were pretty choppy at the start.
My gf can’t swim so was pretty scared in our little boat at the start, almost too scared to get on, so we didn’t get back on at the market haha
Either way quite an adventurous little trip, especially when the driver went full pelt.
As long as you know the above you’ll have fun.
