Highlights
  • Chao Phraya River - The Chao Phraya River remains the life blood of Bangkok and is a life-giver to Thailand’s various provinces through which it flows.
    No stay in the city is complete without a trip on this famous river, passing temples and some of the city’s landmarks.
  • Nonthaburi - Nonthaburi is directly northwest of Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River and it is the principal city of the district and province of the same name in Thailand.
    Not many foreign tourists visit Nonthaburi, thus it offers a glimpse of local culture and life, away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. You’ll find a huge network of waterways in Nonthaburi, making it therefore a great way to experience the life from a different point of view.

Additional Information

Experience local life along the waterways of Bangkok with our ‘Bangkok Canals’ journey. Observe daily activity along the klongs, or canals, offering a sneak peek at how locals live. Witness elderly locals relaxing on the wooden porches of their humble houses by the canal, women airing their laundry, men indulging in fishing activities, and kids diving into the waters for a swim; it’s an absolutely astounding sight!

In this journey, you’ll commute by the Chao Phraya Express Boat, traditional Thai long-tail boats, and miniature rocket boats to traverse the narrower waterways. Our guide will accompany you on land to tour a temple or market, providing comprehensive information on the history and the Thai lifestyle.
