Tour Highlight
Embark on a unique journey in Bangkok with a Teak Boat tour that takes you to Taling Chan Floating Market. Witness the authentic local way of life, a perspective often hidden from the other side of the river.
In the past, Bangkok was a city of canals, earning its moniker as the "Venice of the East." These canals, known as "klongs," served not only for transportation and floating markets but also as sewage disposal. While many of these klongs have been filled in over time, Thonburi, on the west side of the Chao Phraya River, has preserved several of its larger canals, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and local culture.

Explore the charming side of Bangkok with a long tail boat tour. Begin your journey at River City Shopping Mall, where you'll meet your guide and embark on a captivating adventure. Delve into Thonburi, the city's former independent province, which remained separate until its merger with Bangkok in 1971.
Discover the local way of life, a rarely glimpsed facet of the city, as you traverse the historic canals. In the past, these waterways made Bangkok famous as the "Venice of the East." The klongs served as vital transportation routes, bustling floating markets, and even sewage disposal. While many of Bangkok's khlongs have been filled in, the Thonburi region on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River still preserves these iconic waterways.
