Sehr netter symphatischer Guide+Fahrer. Die Kanaltour mit dem Longtailboot war toll. Leider blieben Shoppingmöglichkeiten an den zahlreichen Ständen auf der Tour durch Chinatown auf der Strecke. Was für uns aber der einzige Kritikpunkt war.
Bangkok is famed for its skyscrapers and fast-paced way of life but on this tour you'll explore a different side to the city. You'll sail down a bustling river and quiet canals to get a feel for the traditional way of life. After cruising along, you'll end up in Bangkok's busy Chinatown for a look around.
The morning starts with a cruise down Bangkok's bustling river, in a long tail boat you'll right at home as you sail past locals selling their wares – many boats are overflowing with fruit and vegetables. Your guide will point out the fascinating sites en route and you'll begin to understand why the canals – or ‘klongs' – are so important here.
And then comes Chinatown. As you arrive, you'll be amazed by the energy here. Packed with market stalls, street-side restaurants and lots of gold shops, Chinatown is an experience not to be missed. Wander along Yaowarat Road – the main artery – and its side streets, and take it all in.
