Bangkok Canals & Wat Arun Tour

4.6/5
42 reviews

An afternoon away from the skyscrapers and big city life. On this cultural tour, you'll enjoy a river cruise on a longtail boat along the bustling river and backwaters of Bangkok. Watch as people go about their life on the klongs and then visit Wat Arun – the vast riverside Temple of Dawn.

The canals – or klongs – in the historic Thonburi district are heaving with locals in the afternoon. You'll drift slowly along the Chao Phraya River so you can take in the sights as well as lush vegetation long-gone from the centre.

After the cruise, you'll dock near Wat Arun to visit this impressive temple. The porcelain encrusted Khmer-style central prang is, at 80 metres, one of the most famous landmarks in the Bangkok skyline. You'll can stroll the grounds, admiring the vast yakshas – temple guardian statues – and the frescoed and flower-filled prayer halls.

    Toller Fahrer, tolle Guide. Wir haben uns sehr sicher und gut betreut gefühlt. Es war ein toller Nachmittag mit dem Schnellboot. Außerdem hat uns ********** noch einen Tempel gezeigt, an dem gerade keine Touristen waren. Tolles Erlebnis

    Alles top! Abholung, Tour, Transport etc. Das einzige, wir haben den Guide etwas schlecht verstanden. Die Detschkenntnisse und/bzw die Aussprache waren problematisch. Unser Tui Betreuer im Hotel Danai dagegen war wirklich top uns super lieb.

    Mr. T was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, caring, and full of enthusiasm for Bangkok’s history. Our visit to Wat Arun was magical, with plenty of time to admire its grandeur. The long-tail boat ride through the canals was unforgettable, enriched by his insights into the area’s past and present. We felt looked after every step of the way and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you, Mr. T!

    Our guide was so helpful, informative and caring for our well being getting in and out of boat, crossing streets, going up and down steps. We really enjoyed his personality. And greatly last stop for mango sticky rice.
