What You'll Experience

Do you want to experience life along Bangkok's famous Yai Canal? Look no further as this tour brings you the ultimate experience of Thai culture through different facets of Bangkok.

Hop on a typical Thai long-tail boat and start your journey
Explore how the local people live along the canal
Visit Baan Silapin (The Artist's House), a traditional Thai house converted into a puppetry space
Stop at Wat Paknam and take a photo of the huge Buddha

— What You Can Expect —

During our 2-hour canal adventure, explore life on and around the klongs (canals) and get a glimpse of how the local people live. See elderly people sitting on the chairs on the wooden docks of their tiny homes overlooking the canal, women hanging laundry to dry, and children jumping into the water and swimming in the canal. It's simply amazing!

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 which are connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the klong (canal).

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.
