 Pick up at either 08:00 or 13:00. Take a longtail boat through Bangkok’s canals to discover the true heart of the city. Begin with a ride along the Chao Phraya River, also known as the ‘River of Kings.’ Admire the passing skyline, where glittering pagodas stand in the shadows of towering skyscrapers.

The boat will then turn off the main waterway and venture onto the canals, or ‘klongs.’ See why Bangkok is often called the ‘Venice of the East’ as you cruise along the intricate network of canals. Capture glimpses of small villages along the water’s edge and enjoy the slower pace of life away from the city center.

Make a stop at the Royal Barge Museum to see the eight spectacular boats used by Thailand’s Royal Family to mark special occasions. Carved from teak and intricately decorated with gold leaf and mosaics, the barges are truly an impressive sight.

Afterward, return to the boat and cruise back onto the Chao Phraya for one final stop. Go ashore to visit Wat Arun, a 79-meter-high pagoda built in a style similar to Angkor Wat. Meaning ‘Temple of Dawn,’ Wat Arun is one of Thailand’s most beautiful temples and the perfect last stop on the day’s tour.
