Description

Welcome to the heart of the vanished province of Thonburi, to those little-known parts of Bangkok, where you'll find treasures of authenticity and inaccessible charm, except by water. While most of the canals that criss-cross the city have been turned into streets, the ancient capital west of the Chao Phraya River has retained its authentic character : you can still see orchards, small farms and tree orchid nurseries that line the klongs in the midst of the rapidly expanding metropolis. Our tour of this labyrinth, punctuated by a few stops to soak up the ambient calm, we'll take you to old Siam : an intimate and interactive way to discover the traditional Thai way of life. A unique opportunity to see houses on stilts, explore a centuries-old temple, observe a rich fauna and generous flora. We'll meet Buddhist monks, street vendors and cooks, fishermen, children bathing... You can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding greenery without even leaving Bangkok. *** CLASSIC ADVENTURE in ENGLISH (weekday only) 4 HOURS Departure at 10:00 am You can choose to do this trip in a group or to privatize the boat : Group tour (11 seats) Adult : 1500 THB Child : 1200 THB Private tour (11 seats) 1-5 people : 7500 THB / boat 6-11 people : 1300 THB / Adult, 1000 THB / Child 50% online payment in advance required 50% to be paid in cash on site before boarding Free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance *** Departure / Arrival : Wat Thong Bang Chueak Nang pier 3 stopovers : - Wat Ko, the Island Temple (40 min) Explore a centuries-old buddhist temple and unreveal its mysteries - Suan Niyom (20 min) Discover superb specimen of tropical orchids and more - Baan Suan Bonus* (60 min) Share a memorable Thai lunch in a charming waterside restaurant *closed on Wednesday, in which case we will eat elsewhere *** All inclusive : - ENGLISH-SPEAKING TOUR GUIDE - Mid-size covered long tail teak motorized boat - Experienced boatman - Several sizes of life jackets - Orchid farm entrance fees - Donations for the temple - Refreshments - Snacks - VAT 7% - Meals (1 dish and 1 non-alcoholic drink / people) *** Adult = 12 years old up Child = 3 to 11 years old
