2-hour longtail boat canal cruise in Bangkok with Big Buddha views, Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya, and local life. English guide.
“Great 2 hour tour seeing local life on the river Pear was a lovely guide and so knowledgeable will recommend.”
Cycle Thonburi’s backstreets, eat canal-side Thai lunch, then cruise on a long-tail boat. Small groups with safety gear included.
“A tour that reveals the hidden gems of Bangkok and local life through its narrow streets and canals. Our guide, Matei, was incredibly helpful at every turn and showed us the most fascinating parts of the Old Town. The only thing is that he could still further improve his English proficiency.”
Take a 2-hour White Orchid cruise with Thai and international buffet, live music, and cabaret, plus night views of Bangkok’s temples.
“Great experience, accompanied by excellent food and very nice show. Highly recommended!”
A brand-new Chao Phraya dinner or sunset cruise from Asiatique with open-air rooftop views, live band music, and an international buffet.
“This was a great sunset dinner cruise, the overall experience was very memorable and the buffet was delicious. Things that should be improved for this tour are the ticket exchange process and lines. There was huge confusion with getting our boarding ticket and queuing up for the cruise, there seems to be lots of line cutting and a simple lane system should be used with managing the lines and queuing of people, use physical barriers to seperate lines. If you take this tour, be sure to be at least 2hrs early at the minimum, after exchanging your ticket you can visit all the markets before waiting to board the cruise.”
