About this activity
Step away from the busy city and explore Bangkok at a slower pace on this private 3-hour canal cruise. Cruise through the quiet canals of Thonburi and see a side of Bangkok that many visitors miss. Along the way, you’ll pass local homes, small temples, and everyday scenes on the water. Visit Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen to admire the massive Buddha statue, then continue to a local floating market (weekends only), the Artist House for a short walk and a drink by the canal, or choose from other possible stops along the route. Since this is a private experience, the route and stops can be adjusted after booking to match your preferences. If you prefer, you can stay on the boat and enjoy a full cruise without stops.
⏺ Experience the charm of Bangkok’s historic canals ⏺ Cruise through small canals that larger boats can’t reach ⏺ Private setting for a more personal experience ⏺ Great for photographers who love unique scenery ⏺ Calm and authentic atmosphere throughout the tour
