Positioned on the western banks of the Chao Phraya River, is an area known as Thonburi. Located on the right side of the waterway, this locale has witnessed minimal alteration due to modern-day advancements. It provides a glimpse into what life in Bangkok was like in the early 20th century, back when it was also referred to as the ‘Eastern Venice’. Wooden homes constructed on pillars, elevated to brace the high floodwaters of the torrential rainy season; locations that are reachable only via boat; and youngsters using the river as their expansive playground - these elements illustrate life in Thonburi, which has remained relatively stagnant since its inception.
- At least 2 people are required for this activity to take place.
- There are strict Dress Code for visiting the Grand Palace as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is Thailand’s most sacred site.
