Discover the local side of Bangkok on a 2 hour longtail boat canal tour.

Cruise through Bangkok’s historic waterways and scenic canals, passing traditional wooden stilt houses, colorful temples, and lively river communities. Along the way, admire the majestic Big Buddha from the boat and explore a charming local artist village filled with culture and hidden gems.

Led by our award-winning 2025 team and excellent English-speaking local guides, this tour offers authentic stories, cultural insights, and a true taste of Bangkok life.

Perfect for travelers looking for a real local experience, this canal tour blends history, culture, and everyday life all from the comfort of a traditional longtail boat.

Ps.

During high water and peak season (Nov–Feb), canal locks can be congested, causing 45–90 min delays. To ensure a smooth 2-hour cruise exploring local life, we may adjust the route and drop you off near the main street to avoid heat, pollution, and crowds.
