3hr Sunset Canal Cruise & Stop at Biggest Buddha (fully guided)
Description
Unlike other boat tours that take you to places with short boat rides, we offer a more profound adventure inside the Bangkok Canals. This will be a fun boat tour with exploration with our professional local expert. We will take you on a journey by our small wooden boat to see the eclectic neighborhoods and lush greenery west of Bangkok. It is an opportunity for you to glimpse the "Thai canal-side living" as we pass by on our little boat. Along the canals, we will stop at an orchid farm, a 250-year-old community, where the Artist House is. Baan Silapin’ is located, followed by a temple called " Wat Paknam," with a spectacular Emerald Pagoda and known for the Biggest Buddha in Bangkok.

Wow! This was such good value. Our guide Kae spoke perfect English and really brought Bangkok to life for us. We were only here for a short time and so this is one of the only activities we booked. We learned so much. The temple was beautiful and so was the orchid farm. It was a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend.
I have no words to describe how wonderful was my experience with the guide - Sany, who was always very kind and all the time gave us information and led us for a great tour. The conductor sailor in addition to being a captain of a boat, gave us a lot of security and showed us a lot of skill in what he does. Great professionals and beautiful places.
The tour was just right, not too long, not so short and very entertaining; Thanks to our guide who understood exactly when to explain or show something without being intrusive!
Boat ride was a great experience that allows you to see Bangkok from a different perspective and how some of the local people live.The orchid garden was beautiful and the experience of feeding the fish was great.only downside was that I booked a 3hour trip and was then told it would be reduced to 2 hours which worked out perfectly as 2hours seems a good enough time.the tour guide was pleasant and very helpful
My husband and teenage son loved this trip. The boat was fun and the views of the canals were fantastic. The orchid farm was beautiful and the stop at the temple was wonderful. We were never rushed and enjoyed every minute. Our guide, Tum Tum, made our trip so special. She was very kind and also shared so much interesting information about everything that we saw and about the history of the area. She is very knowledgeable and even used her phone to look up plant names in English when I asked (I love plants.) She had a great sense of humor as well. She has a good eye and we saw 15 monitor lizards and she made us laugh calling them like pets. We will never forget this tour and our favorite guide in Thailand, Tum Tum!
Superb walk on the canals of Bangkok on a Long wooden tail performing. Very cool atmosphere accompanied by relevant comments from Nathalie.
Thank you so much for the nice words about our guide and our sunset tour, Pascal! We give most out of the canalside neighborhood and the longer boat ride. Our boat tour has been running for over 10 years :) We are happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
A guide of great erudition with always relevant words. An attentive captain who cares about our safety. What beautiful moments! Congratulations.
We sailed on the 3 hour tour with our guide Parisa and had a wonderful experience. Great communication from the company after booking, making sure we knew exactly where to meet and to answer any questions. The tour itself was the perfect length with such a lovely guide. Parisa was interesting and informative. The waterways are beautiful and peaceful with plenty to see. We really enjoyed the experience.
Good communication via email leading up to the boat ride. The boat ride itself was lovely. We had 8 people. Did not feel crowded at all.
Nice boat ride in the narrow canals of Bangkok. Discovery of unusual places such as the artists’ house
