Experience a unique adventure in Bangkok through a long-tail boat tour that guides you to the core of Thonburi, which was once a separate province but is now smoothly combined with the vibrant city. Observe the genuine local lifestyle that is usually concealed from the city across the river.
Historically, Bangkok was recognized as a city of canals, thus receiving its nickname as the ‘Venice of the East.’ These canals, termed as ‘klongs,’ were utilized for transportation, floating markets and even waste disposal. Even though many of these klongs are now filled up, Thonburi, located on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, has kept several of its wider canals, providing a snapshot into the city’s abundant past and indigenous culture.
