Description

Your journey begins at MRT Sanam Chai, where you’ll board a traditional long-tail boat. Glide into the peaceful canals and leave the city noise behind as you experience Bangkok from a completely different perspective. The first highlight is the impressive Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, home to one of Bangkok’s tallest golden Buddha statues. This towering figure rises majestically above the neighborhood, making it a must-see landmark. You’ll also have the chance to explore the serene temple grounds before continuing your journey. Cruising further along Khlong Bang Luang and Khlong Mon, you’ll witness everyday riverside life—traditional wooden houses, small temples, and friendly locals going about their day. This side of Bangkok feels like stepping back in time, offering a rare glimpse into the city’s heritage. Next, you’ll pass Artist’s House (Baan Silapin), a cultural treasure tucked away on the canal. This centuries-old wooden home is now a vibrant art space filled with murals, crafts, and creative energy. Take time to relax, feed the fish with snacks we provide, and soak in the unique blend of history and artistry. ✨ Optional Experience (Weekend & Private Tours Only): On select tours, you can add a visit to the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market, one of Bangkok’s most authentic and welcoming markets. Browse colorful stalls brimming with fresh fruit, street food, and handmade goods, or enjoy delicious Thai dishes prepared right on the boats. A true highlight for food lovers and culture seekers alike! As the tour concludes, relax on your return ride through the canals, watching the city’s hidden corners drift by. Whether you’re a couple, a family, or a curious explorer, this tour is the perfect way to discover the quieter, more traditional side of Bangkok.
