What to expect
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, and make a stop at the charming riverside community of Khlong Bang Luang, home to the Artist’s House. Along the way, we pass the largest Buddha in Bangkok at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen.
This tour shows a different side of Bangkok, far from the glossy tourist spots. You’ll see humble wooden homes perched above the water, revealing the city’s contrasts and the realities of local life.
For a glimpse into Bangkok’s quieter, more traditional side, this canal tour offers an eye-opening journey through the city’s history and local life.
Maximum 12 people per boat.
Reviews
A very cool way to see some of the major highlights temple wise of bangkok. Boats felt very safe and our guide was very sweet. the big buds lived up to its 52 meters and the artist section was super cute. very time efficient and a great tour that doesn’t eat the hole day away. Do bring water and a fan as it can get very hot and there is no AC during this tour! highly recommend to any kind of traveler!
We had a tour with Paula and it was fantastic! She's a lovely woman, very informative, and extremely clear. Due to low registration, we happened to get a private tour, which made it even better! We were also there during the off-season!
we had a wonderful time on this tour. it was great to be on the water and see Bangkok from a different perspective.
guide Yohan was superb. he was knowledgeable. he made sure we are ok and always asks us if we need anything or if there were questions.
We enjoyed this tour very much. The life on the canals, temples. There was a stop after about an hour, to stroll around, use the toilet, have a drink, see a small local market and feed the fish. Our guide was Yohan, and his comments and expectations did help us see a different perspective. Thank you Yohan!
Absolutely loved this tour. It was an amazing experience exploring Bangkok on a traditional long tail boat.
Too rushed, resulting in a poorly organized trip. We are given only 20 minutes for the floating market. No one in the right mind will do this. Seriously insufficient time to buy coffee at The Artists House. This is a place where one chill and take things easy. Minimally, 45 minutes should be provided. The guide also did not explain the popular Artists House. Seriously, the tour operator can do better. Not recommended.
I had a good time. My guide was very knowledgeable and cared about our safety.
Nice tour! would recommend
