With tributary waterways (Klongs) that reach the deepest corners of Thonburi, located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, there is no better way to explore these parts aboard a Thai-style long tail boat that pass important Bangkok sites en route. The ‘other side’ of metropolis Bangkok is merely a boat ride away. Once put in a governmental spotlight when rulers from a bygone era declared Thonburi the capital of the Thai kingdom, little of its local charm has faded. Slowly emerging as the upcoming urbanization of Greater Bangkok, Thonburi remains an authentic pearl, separated by waterways and characterized by temples and communities. During this morning-only excursion, guests will sail deep into the myriad of the Klongs while seeing local life in its finest forms passing by. Expect to see both the must-see and little-seen sides as your long-tail boat captain takes you on 4-hour journey across the Chao Phraya and into Bangkok’s famous Klongs.
