Overview

Relax and float along the canals through Bangkok’s local waters on this half-day canal boat tour. We will explore the Chao Phraya River (River of the King) and the canals of Bangkok’s suburbs. We will see the riverside views of Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, and explore the narrow canals called klongs in longtail speedboats.

The klongs (Thai: คลอง) are an important part of Bangkok’s infrastructure. The canal is built in the same way as those in Europe during the Renaissance period. It is an excellent means of transportation for the people who live in Bangkok, as well as for visitors.

Bangkok’s canals are sometimes referred to as the Venice of the East because of the canals in the old parts of the city. These canals date back to the construction of the city itself during the Ayutthaya period in 1350. The king created an island in a swampy area by digging a canal from north to south and turned it into a fortified city.

On this tour, we will explore Bangkok’s canals by longtail boats piloted by some of Bangkok’s best captains.
