Itinerary

The Chao Phraya River

Passing by

Hop on a typical Thai long-tail boat and explore the canals of Thonburi, once Thailand's capital. On a 2-hour canal adventure, you'll witness local life and marvel at the vibrant waterfront scenes.
Khlong Bang Luang Artist House

40 min

We will make a stop at Baan Silapin (The Artist's House), a traditional Thai house that has been converted into a public space to preserve art and traditional performance styles such as puppetry. The wooden house, over 200 years old and lovingly restored by its owner, sits at the heart of a small community of rustic shophouses that are connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the klong (canal).
Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen

40 min

Furthermore, we pass Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, built in the mid-Ayutthaya period in the Phasi Charoen District in Thonburi. The boat driver will stop the boat so that you can take a good photo of the huge Buddha statue at this temple. The Buddha statue is towering nearly 70 meters above the ground, the height of a 20-story building, and it is Bangkok's biggest Buddha image, with a width of 40 meters in its cross-legged meditation posture.
