Longtail Boat Journey on the Chao Phraya River & Klongs

Experience the lifeblood of Bangkok aboard a traditional longtail boat. The journey itself is the main event, traversing the mighty Chao Phraya and then navigating the labyrinth of smaller residential canals where wooden houses on stilts and waterside temples define the landscape.

Witness the contrast between modern high-rises and the serene, old-world charm of the klongs. See locals going about their daily lives—fishing, selling goods from boats, and tending to their waterside homes—a true insight into the city’s past

Admire stunning views of major riverside landmarks, including the magnificent Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) with its towering, beautifully decorated prang, as you cruise along the main river.
