What you'll do
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.
