Discover Bangkok's Charm on a Bangkok Canal Tour by Longtail Boat

If you're looking to find your guide for an authentic Thailand experience, this Bangkok canal tour offers a welcome break from city chaos. Meet your guide at River City Shopping Mall and set out on a one-hour long tail boat journey through Thonburi's historic canals. Once an independent province before merging with Bangkok in 1971, Thonburi still preserves many traditional waterways and quaint klongs. As you glide past wooden houses on stilts and peaceful scenes of everyday life, you'll witness a side of Bangkok rarely seen by typical tourists. Feed catfish, stroll around the vibrant artist community at Klong Bang Luang, and soak up the living history of these waterways - remnants of a time when Bangkok was rightly nicknamed the Venice of the East.
