→ Bangkok Canal Tour | 35 EUR adult – 25 EUR child (04-11.99 years)
Our vehicle will take us to the pier where we will board our boat. We will embark on a tour with long-tail boats among the small canals of the Chao Phraya River. Our journey through the canals will give us the opportunity to see traditional Thai life up close. We will experience an unforgettable experience passing through wooden houses raised on pillars, floating kitchens, Buddhist temples where we can feed sacred catfish, and small family businesses. When Bangkok (especially its old part, Thonburi) was first established, almost all transportation was done via rivers and canals (khlong). Houses, shops, and markets were built along the canals, and people went to work, school, and the market by boat. Instead of streets, there were "waterways," and for this reason, foreigners who came here called it the "Venice of the East." When we see elderly vendors rowing up and down the canal selling everything from vegetables and noodles to modern products like electric fans and radios, we will observe that this name still holds true today.
