Mr. T was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, caring, and full of enthusiasm for Bangkok’s history. Our visit to Wat Arun was magical, with plenty of time to admire its grandeur. The long-tail boat ride through the canals was unforgettable, enriched by his insights into the area’s past and present. We felt looked after every step of the way and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you, Mr. T!
An afternoon away from the skyscrapers and big city life. On this cultural tour, you'll enjoy a river cruise on a longtail boat along the bustling river and backwaters of Bangkok. Watch as people go about their life on the klongs and then visit Wat Arun – the vast riverside Temple of Dawn.
The canals – or klongs – in the historic Thonburi district are heaving with locals in the afternoon. Boats glide along, laden with fruit and vegetables that will be sold to canal-side homes. It's an impressive cultural spectacle. You'll drift slowly along the Chao Phraya River so you can take in the sights as well as lush vegetation long-gone from the centre.
After the cruise, you'll dock near Wat Arun to visit this impressive temple. The porcelain encrusted Khmer-style central prang is, at 80 metres, one of the most famous landmarks in the Bangkok skyline. You'll can stroll the grounds, admiring the vast yakshas – temple guardian statues – and the frescoed and flower-filled prayer halls.
