Additional Information

We start our excursion with a calming sail northward via the Chao Phraya River Express Boat to the small town of Nonthaburi. There, we briefly wander through their village and explore a local market. From there, we shift our journey onto a long tail boat, which ushers us into a unique canal network, much different than those near the city. Serene scenes of countryside canal life take us back to a simpler era of slow-paced daily life and minimal concerns. The tranquil sail is suddenly disrupted an hour later by the piercing sound of rocket boats, indicating a quick switch in tempo. The adrenaline-fueled high-speed navigation through tight canals is sure to awaken everyone’s playful side. Another long tail boat takes us to a local restaurant to enjoy a delicious lunch. The excursion concludes with a local transport escorting you back to your hotel in Bangkok.

Great tour but pushy guide... - The tour it's self was amazing. It was fun getting to see the way the locals live along the canal system. However my guide was very pushy and didn't even allow me to order for myself at lunchtime. Which made me uncomfortable.

An unforgettable day on the water - Our trip began with a punctual pick-up by our friendly guide directly at the hotel. We felt well looked after from the start. The ferry ride out of Bangkok and the immersion in the idyllic, rural surroundings were a feast for the eyes. We spotted a variety of beautiful bee-eaters, which was a highlight for nature lovers like us. The visit to the local market and a temple not only gave us an insight into local life, but also the opportunity to get to know the culture better. Our guide provided interesting information and patiently answered our questions. The absolute highlight was undoubtedly the change to the speedboat. This unexpected turn brought an extra portion of fun to the day and gave us adrenaline rushes. The entire organization was impeccable. We appreciated the well-thought-out route and the reasonable amount of time we were given at each stop. Overall, this was an unforgettable day that we can recommend to everyone. A big thank you to the entire team for this great experience!

Quite klongs trip - We did the private tour being collected from our hotel. Worth the extra cost. Our guide Petche was very informative and didn’t rush us at all pointing out lots of places of interest, lunch was included at a canal side restaurant which was fresh and plentiful. Highly Recommend this trip.

A fantastic day truly off the beaten track - I’ve been to Bangkok many times, but never had an experience like this. Aeh was a truly amazing guide, he went above and beyond and he knew EVERYTHING. Aeh stayed attuned to my interests and dietary requirements, which made me feel very comfortable and kept the trip extremely interesting. He answered all my questions with professionalism and he pointed out things he somehow knew that I’d like. At first I thought the tour may be overpriced, but it’s worth penny. After the tour, Aeh dropped me off at a place I wanted to go but I didn’t know how to get to - he was just excellent and a great human being overall.
