"The best way to see the Thai traditional way of life along the river and canals"



Longtail Speed Boat on the River

In the year 1522, King Chairachathirat of Ayutthaya commanded a short canal to be cut at Bangkokyai from the mouth of the Bangkoknoi Canal to the mouth of Bangkokyai Canal. This later became part of Chao Phraya River, and today it is the section which flows from Thammasat University to Wat Arun. The part of the Chao Phraya River which formerly ran through area of Bangkok then became known as the Bangkoknoi and Bangkokyai Canal

When it was the part of Chao Phraya River, the Bangkoknoi Canal area was an agricultural zone, and the lifestyle of the community was simple. Changes came after the digging of the new canal; the area became more accessible and this led to an increase in the population of the canal-side community.

Canal Tour (Klong Tour) : The trip is running through picturesque scenes of temples as well as Thai-style riverside houses and ways of life along the bustling canal of Bangkok. On this tour you will be taken by a long-tail boat along the Chao Phraya River and through some of the smaller canals in the Thonburi area, where Thais from all different classes live side by side.
