Overview
- Escape the busy streets of Bangkok and step into a slower, more traditional way of life along its historic canals, known locally as klongs. This relaxing cruise offers a unique perspective of the city that many visitors never get to see.
- As you glide along the waterways on a traditional longtail boat, observe everyday life unfolding along the canal banks. You will see wooden houses on stilts, locals going about their daily routines, children playing in the water, and families relaxing by the riverside.
- A highlight of the journey is a stop at Baan Silapin, also known as the Artist’s House. This beautifully preserved wooden home, over 200 years old, serves as a cultural hub where traditional Thai art and performances are kept alive.
- During the cruise, you will also pass by the impressive Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, where you can capture photos of Bangkok’s largest seated Buddha statue rising high above the skyline.
- This short yet enriching experience reveals a peaceful and authentic side of Bangkok, offering insight into local traditions, culture and riverside living before returning to your starting point.
