Grand Palace & Thonburi Canals Morning Tour Experience
Description
On the west bank of the Chao Phraya River lays a part of town called Thonburi. Situated on the right side of the river, progress has arrived here with little impact. Get a little feeling for life in Bangkok at the beginning of the 20th century, when it was also called "Venice of the East". Wooden houses, built on stilts to stand through the high tides of the late rainy season; places, only accessible by boat; children using the river as a large playground - life in Thonburi has not changed much since its beginnings.

Our guide Eddy was amazing. He gave us lots of information about not only the temple but also everything in Bangkok

We had a very enjoyable and informative morning tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned lots about this amazing city and country’s history. We started with an exhilarating long tail boat ride across the Chao Praya and its waterways. We stopped to feed the catfish, which was amazing. Our guide provided us with an interesting commentary on the sights that we saw. I would thoroughly recommend.
