Tom is our tour guide. He will contact us in advance on the meeting point. alongside the river cruise, he explained to us the places and also taken a lot of nice shot for us! We really enjoyed the river cruise and make a wish to Buddha. Thanks so much Tom!
The long-tail boat that runs just above the surface of the water is impressive. I encountered a monitor lizard on the way!! Big Buddha seen from the waterway is exceptional. ICONSIAM, the place where we disbanded, was also very beautiful, and I was able to enjoy modern Bangkok.
wonderful experience and very unique. we travelled alo g chao praya river upto wat makman and saw the big buddha from there. definitely something to try if you are running out of tour ideas.
It was as good as I expected. I visited Damnoen Saduak, Latmayom, and Kwan Liam floating markets. They were all unique and good, but the downside was that they were far apart. Bangkok Longtail Boat was close to our hotel, Orchid Sheraton, so it was a good place to take a quick canal tour with my grandchildren. The guide explained in English, Korean, and Thai. The explanation was given at the back of the boat, so the water might splash around a bit.
This was a good tour, got to see how people live along the klongs and the temple and big budda were impressive.
Booked for 8pax and the tour was just us:) Great tour with a friendly guide who prayed for my parents in Thai too. Wat Paknam is definitely a must see in bangkok! Canal boat ride made the experience all the more interesting 👍🏻
This tour was absolutely fabulous. It did not disappoint- the beautiful big Buddha was magnificent and one must see it in person! Also, our tour guide Lita was the icing on the cake! Her knowledge of Thailand, Buddhism and Hinduism was unmatched. If you get a chance to take this tour, do it! Make sure you ask for Lita—you will be glad you did! Thx!
Me and my friend truly enjoyed the longtail boat tour with our guide Tom. This was our first time exploring the canals and seeing less accessible parts of Bangkok. We will definitely recommend this to others.
Wat Paknam is incredible and a must to see. Our guide was very polite and helpful. Her knowledge about the temple and its history helped us to enjoy the tour even more.
