Cruise past the majestic Big Buddha of Wat Paknam, a breathtaking sight from the water, and explore the stunning Reclining Buddha Temple at Wat Raja Oros a hidden gem only locals know.

Itinerary
Khlong Bang Luang Artist House As we glide through the canal, you’ll spot the Khlong Bang Luang Artist House – a quirky old wooden house that has become a hub for creativity and local life. Think street art murals, traditional puppet shows, and a splash of color right by the water. We won’t be stopping here, but it’s the kind of place that makes you want to wave, snap a photo, and say “Wow, Bangkok has secret gems everywhere!”
Tucked away from Bangkok’s busiest tourist spots, this royal temple is a real hidden treasure. Built and restored during the reign of King Rama III, it’s famous for blending Thai and Chinese design in the most eye-catching way – colorful tiled roofs, detailed ceramic decorations, and elegant pavilions. Unlike the crowded temples in the city center, Wat Ratcha Orasaram is calm and peaceful, giving you space to slow down, look around, and enjoy the details. Inside, you’ll find beautiful murals and plenty of corners that are perfect for quiet photos. It’s a place where history, art, and serenity come together making it one of those secret Bangkok experiences that most travelers miss

Our guide Som was amazing! So friendly, fun and informative. We learned so much and had a great time!!!
ขอบคุณค่ะ 🌊🌞 Thank you for your lovely 5 stars review. We are delighted that both the experience and your guide made your visit to Bangkok so special. We hope to welcome you again soon. Warm regards, Hidden Bangkok
Had an amazing two hour long boat trip with Som today. Saw a unique side of life in Bangkok, it is so peaceful, green and beautiful on the canals. Loved visiting the artists house, so much to see and do. Also got to see large lizards, an egret, and so many carp! As well learnt about, and saw, a traditional but evolving river based way of life. Som was so knowledge about Thailand's history, culture and religion, and a pleasure to have as a guide. I learnt a lot and had a great time. The Wat we visited at the end was very quiet and local, but still stunningly beautiful, and people were very friendly. Can't recommend this tour highly enough.
