Bangkok Klong Canal Tour – Discover the City’s Waterways
Description
The Bangkok Klong Canal Tour provides a fascinating journey into the traditional heart of the city, navigating its historic waterways, or "klongs," aboard a longtail boat. As you glide through the canals, you'll discover the charm of local life, passing wooden stilt houses, vibrant riverside temples, and scenes of daily activities along the water's edge. The tour also treats you to breathtaking views of iconic landmarks, including the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, from a unique perspective. This tranquil and scenic experience offers an immersive glimpse into Bangkok's rich cultural heritage and vibrant river life.

Itinerary
Enjoy a long tail boat journey in Bangkok. Meet your guide at River City Shopping mall and visit the old city of Thonburi, an independent province until it was merged with Bangkok in 1971. Experience the local way of living, rarely seen from the other side of town. Historically, the Thai capital Bangkok was crisscrossed by klongs (canals), and gained the nickname "Venice of the East". Klongs were used for transportation and for floating markets, but also for sewage disposal. Today, most of the khlongs of Bangkok have been filled in, although the Thonburi side of Bangkok (covering areas west of Chao Phraya River) still retains several of its larger khlongs.

A view of the water is always different, but there is so much to see in the city already! A klong ride is not the most important thing to do in Bangkok...
Bonjour MjrAdP, Merci pour votre retour ! Nous comprenons que Bangkok regorge d'activités et de sites fascinants à découvrir. Une balade en klong offre une perspective différente et apaisante, mais elle peut varier en importance selon les goûts et les priorités de chacun. Nous espérons que vous avez apprécié d'autres aspects de votre séjour dans cette ville vibrante ! Merci, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
