Overnight at our 4* Prince Palace Hotel Bangkok (or similar) in Bangkok.
→ Bangkok canals tour | 35 EUR adult – 25 EUR child (04-11.99 years)
Our vehicle will take us to the dock where we will board our boat. We will take a tour through the small canals of the Chao Phraya River on long-tail boats. Our journey through the canals will give us the opportunity to see traditional Thai life up close. We will have a unique experience passing among wooden houses raised on pillars, floating kitchens, Buddhist temples where we can feed sacred catfish in front of them, and small family businesses. When Bangkok (especially its old part, Thonburi) was first founded, almost all transportation was by rivers and canals (khlongs). Houses, shops and markets were built along the canals and people went to work, school and the market by boat. There were “waterways” instead of streets, and for this reason foreigners who came here called it the “Venice of the East.” When we see elderly vendors rowing back and forth on the canal selling everything from vegetables and noodles to modern products such as electric fans and radios, we will be able to observe that this name is still valid today.

Floating markets are part of Thailand’s and the local people’s way of life. Wherever there is a floating market, there is food. Eating by the river is an inseparable part of this lifestyle. We will see the open market set up on the canoes on this river and have the opportunity to shop. After this unique experience, return to Bangkok and our hotel.
