About this activity
Get to know Bangkok on a unique 4-hour tour that introduces you to the serene and traditional way of living as it opens the doors to the past. Take a cruise along the waterways of the city and follow it up with a tour of the Grand Palace.
We board our boat and ride along the Chao Phya River through the city and then discover Klongs (canals). Which give us a quieter perspective of life by the water, away from all the high-rise and modern buildings of central Bangkok. We pass the Thonburi residential areas and stop off at Wat Arun, known as the "Temple of Dawn."
You will then enjoy a guided visit to the Royal Grand Palace, the nation’s landmark, most popular tourist attraction and most praised royal monument in Thailand. Situated close to the Chao Phraya, Bangkok’s River of Kings, the palace is the former royal residence of the Chakri Kings. Built in 1782 by King Rama I, it was the center of power for more than 150 years.
