★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,909 reviews · from $37

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!”

“We had a great day exploring Bangkok with, our wonderful guide, TK. He took us to the Grand Palace & Wat Arun and then took us ‘off the beaten path’ to the old town (Thonburi) to experience the traditional Bangkok along the canals - it was incredible! We also visited Talad Noi (a traditional Chinese community) where we stopped for a coffee and explored the local shops etc. TK did a great job of explaining all of the traditions that happen in the area. TK had an amazing way of explaining the Buddhist (& Hindu) way of life - we learnt so much from him! Incredible tour, made even better…”

The big Buddha stop was good but the artists house area was great. Would have liked longer there but never mind. Be warned that it takes a little while to get through the canal lock but it's part of the fun!”
