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.

Very cool experience
This was the perfect exposure to various pets of Bangkok. We got to see the largest Buddha in Thailand and temple, and then we were able to go along the markets. Two stops was the perfect amount and being on the water was so fun! Our guide Joyce was very kind and attentive.
