    15 minutes

  • Chao Phraya River

    You’ll begin this Bangkok tour by walking to the pier, where you’ll board a longtail boat down the Chao Phraya River, also known as the River of Kings. This river is also the reason why Bangkok is known as the ‘Venice of the East,’ and you’ll explore this nickname further as you glide through the network of khlongs, or canals.

    1 hour

  • The Grand Palace

    You’ll continue by heading over to the Grand Palace. Strolling through the palace grounds feels like walking through an Asian version of Alice in Wonderland — the buildings are so beautiful they almost don’t feel real.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • N/A

    From one beautiful temple to another, you’ll move on to Wat Pho, another temple that is integral to the Buddhist religion in Thailand. It’s home to the famous golden reclining Buddha and is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage.

Additional Info

  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Minimum age is 6 years
  • Dress requirements to enter the Grand Palace are very strict. Please ensure your clothes cover your shoulders and waist (scarves or shawls worn over sleeveless tops are not permitted). Trousers must be ankle-length, and skirts below the knee.
  • Closure of sites: The order of touring and route of the khlong (canal) tour may change depending on the water levels in the river and individual khlongs.
  • Please note that this tour covers 5 km of Boat Ride and 1.5 km (1 mile) of walking.
  • Local Impact: How you will help the local community by joining this tour: This tour hires local longtail boatmen who own their own boats directly. These boatmen rely on tourism to supplement their income as modern transport routes mean fewer locals need to use their boats.

Amazing Experience!

A boat cruise down the River of Kings to see the most exquisite temples and the Grand Palace. Had a wonderful guide whose nickname was Pat, who shared the history of the periods and kings, and told the most amazing stories. An experience that will be forever memorable!

Great tour!

We completed this tour yesterday with our teenage family. We had a great day, very enjoyable and informative. Our guide ‘Ole’ was excellent; very knowledgeable, personable, professional and fun. Highly recommended!

We had a great day seeing some of Bangkok’s most beautiful sites. The Grand Palace and Temple were amazing and we enjoyed learning about the history and meaning of different things. We loved the boat and tuk tuk rides and had the best guide, Pam. We would highly recommend!!
