About this experience
On this half-day trip, you will experience bustling riverside life as well as a more serene pace of life along Thonburi’s quiet canals and backwaters. we will also visit the iconic Wat Arun situated on the banks of the Choa Phraya River and abundant blooms in Bangkok’s flower market.
We will collect you from your Bangkok hotel and make our way to the Chao Phraya River where we will board our private longtail boat for the tour on the Choa Phraya and Thonburi’s quiet canals and backwaters. You will travel in a long tail boat enjoying a myriad of scenes by the water. We take you to a more traditional way of living, away from all the high-rise and modern buildings of Bangkok City Center, as we gently pass Thonburi residential areas. A stop will be made at the “Temple of Dawn” (Wat Arun) and we will pay a visit to the Flower market before we transfer you back to your Bangkok hotel.
This is a 100% private tour just for you and your group, with your own vehicle, driver and licensed English-speaking guide. You will not join other travellers. The price is per person and gets lower the bigger your group (up to 9 guests; for larger groups, contact us).
