Half-Day Bangkok Klongs and Wat Arun City Tour

About this activity
Nineteenth-century Bangkok was laced with klongs (canals), giving the capital the designation of the "Venice of the East." Take a boat ride along the surviving canals and the Chao Phraya River (River of Kings) and discover memorable vignettes of a traditional waterborne way of life that has remained essentially unchanged over the centuries.
The river and canals may be conveniently explored by public transport or via a traditional long-tailed boat. Eventually, make your way to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn. The Buddhist building stands diagonally opposite the Grand Palace, and is best known for a porcelain-encrusted, central pagoda which sparkles in the sun. After a tour of the grounds, you will return to your starting point.
Additionally, you have the option of taking this tour with a group or booking a private tour.
