What to expect

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.

    Der Ausflug war sehr schön und hat uns einen kleinen Einblick in die Welt abseits der vielen Hochhäuser gezeigt. Der Guide war sehr nett und hat uns alles gut verständlich auf Deutsch erklärt.

    Ich war der einzige Gast, also eine Privattour sozusagen. Abholung pünktlich, der Guide war super freundlich und kompetent und konnte gut deutsch . Alles in allem kann ich diese 2.5 bis 3 stündige tour sehr empfehlen. Besonders für familien mit Kindern ist die Fahrt auf dem Kanal mit dem longtailboat ein Erlebnis.
