Step away from the busy streets of Bangkok and uncover the charm of the “Venice of the East” on a 2-hour canal tour aboard a beautifully crafted teak boat. This journey offers a glimpse into the city’s hidden side, where time seems to move more slowly and tradition thrives along the waterways.
Your tour begins in Thonburi, the former capital of Thailand, where modern skyscrapers rise beside centuries-old temples. As the teak boat glides through the narrow khlongs (canals), you’ll pass traditional stilt houses, lush tropical greenery, and local vendors going about their daily lives. These waterways reveal the authentic character of Bangkok, far from the tourist crowds.
Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the history of the canals and the role they played in shaping the city’s identity. The elegant teak boat, with its ornate design and polished wood interiors, makes the perfect setting for a relaxing yet enriching cultural adventure. This short but immersive experience is ideal for travelers seeking to see Bangkok from a fresh perspective.
