2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Begin your adventure by boarding a traditional teak boat, a signature mode of transport in Bangkok’s intricate canal system. These canals, or "khlongs," were once the lifeblood of the city, serving as major trade and transport routes.

As your boat glides effortlessly through the calm waters, be captivated by the authentic charm of local life. See traditional wooden houses on stilts, where generations of families have lived for centuries. Watch as locals go about their daily routines—fishing, cooking, and even commuting by boat. The lively floating markets, where vendors sell fresh produce, snacks, and handmade goods from their boats.

Next, marvel at the breathtaking Wat Arun, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Rising majestically on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, this temple is known for its distinctive prang (spire), adorned with intricate porcelain mosaics that shimmer as they catch the sunlight.
