• Baan Silapin - Located on the banks of Klong Bang Luang on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, Baan Silapin (The Artist’s House) is a hidden gem devoted to preserving Thai culture. Here you’ll experience what life in Bangkok was like before the concrete jungle took hold.

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).

• Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen - 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.

• Long-tail boat ride
• Bottled water
• Licensed English speaking tour guide

• Gratuities for the boat driver and guide (optional)

Embark on a captivating 2-hour long-tail boat journey through the canals of Thonburi, showcasing Bangkok’s lesser-known yet genuinely authentic side. Glide past stilted homes, friendly locals, and secluded temples, with a stop at the delightful riverside community of Khlong Bang Luang, where the Artist’s House is located. Along the route, witness the largest Buddha in Bangkok at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen.

This tour reveals a different aspect of Bangkok, away from the polished tourist attractions. Observe modest wooden houses elevated above the water, highlighting the city’s contrasts and the realities of local life.

Please be aware that during the tour, there might be a wait at one of the water locks, which manage canal levels. These operate without a fixed schedule and are beyond our control, yet they contribute to the genuine canal experience.

For an insight into Bangkok’s quieter, more traditional side, this canal tour provides a fascinating journey through the city’s history and local lifestyle.

The boat accommodates a maximum of 12 people.
