based on 11 reviews
Duration: 2.5 hours (approx.)
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Product code: 3685BKK22C
The rivers and khlongs (canals) around Bangkok serve as a natural highway for many local Thai people going about their everyday business. The people of Bangkok still depend on the waterways to transport their merchandise, in particular rice, as the canals are linked to the rice fields.
This relaxed afternoon cruise will allow you to observe life happen in the 'The Venice of the East'. You will cruise the canals by long tailed boat, through exotic flora and picturesque canal houses, before joining a converted rice barge cruise on the Chao Phraya river. All you need to do on this tour is sit back, relax and take in the amazing Thai scenery. Soft drinks and local fruits will be served on-board.
