Review of Bangkok’s 2-hour Thonburi canal tour, with longtail boats, Wat Arun views, the Artist’s House, and practical booking tips.

“This longboat khlong tour was an interesting way to see a bit of Bangkok's canal-side life. Our nice guide, Fern, was helpful and managed things under sometimes challenging conditions. The only drawback was in the difficulty hearing her narration and announcements over the boat noises. But overall, a fun experience!”
