Thonburi Klongs & Grand Palace Tour

The Thonburi Klongs & Grand Palace Tour is an unforgettable journey through the vibrant waterways and historical landmarks of Bangkok. This immersive experience begins with a scenic boat ride through the Thonburi klongs (canals), where you’ll witness the unique local lifestyle, traditional wooden houses, and lush greenery that line the waterways.

As you glide along the canals, your guide will share insights into the history and culture of this charming area, showcasing local markets and daily life along the riverbanks. You’ll have the chance to see bustling communities and perhaps spot locals going about their daily activities, from fishing to selling goods.

The tour continues with a visit to the iconic Grand Palace, home to the Emerald Buddha and one of Thailand’s most revered cultural sites. As you explore the palace grounds, marvel at the intricate architecture and stunning details of the temples, while your guide provides context about their significance and history.

Exploring Bangkok by long tail boat is a great way to get a glimpse into the timeless charm of the city and is still one of our most popular tours in Bangkok.
