Cruise Bangkok’s klongs on a longtail boat, visit Baan Silapin and Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, and get a guided look at Thonburi life.

“What a racket. There's a reason they don't proactively send review requests after the tour. Boat takes you down the ugliest canals, of course with the obligatory stop at the "authentic" market where you are encouraged to buy to buy overpriced crap. Place is literally crawling with tourists. hmmm.. wonder if they get a cut from that?”

Bangkok Long Boat Canal a Big Buddha & Culture Markets Tour

11.Bangkok Long Boat Canal a Big Buddha & Culture Markets Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 137 reviews · 2 - 3 hours · from $44

Bangkok long-tail canal tour with big Buddha photo stop, Khlong Bang Luang market break, and village walks, led by an English guide.

“Good relaxing morning tour, less crowds and less heat. For the time/price it was good overview of the main canal and pleasant stop at little floating market/village. If i had more time i would try to find a tour that goes further into the canal system but this tour was perfectly good for a mornings activity whilst avoiding heat of day. Guide cannot point out much during tour because of loud long tail motor but open to questions once stopped. The big buddha was under scaffolding but was told in advance and saw alternative from behind. Therefore acceptable.”

Private long-tail boat through Bangkok canals from Tha Tian or Iconsiam, with temple stops, local life views, and included fish food.

“Was a nice way for us to see some sights during our short stopover. Has a roof so was good to go at midday as sun just overhead. We had the one hour tour - was no guide as such, he just drove the boat. Pointed out some fish. Communication via WhatsApp was good, to organise. Started later than they said, and we arrived 15 minutes early as per instructions so were waiting around quite a while. We did the one hour long tail boat tour. We were approached by a boat market guy and got fleeced. Whilst I enjoyed the experience and happy I made boat guy happy with…”
