Important Information Temporary Suspension of Canal Tours
Due to seasonal high tides combined with an influx of upstream water into Bangkok, the water level of the Chao Phraya River has significantly risen. In response, floodgates along the inner-city canal network have been closed to protect local communities from flooding.
Additionally, the current strength of the water poses potential safety concerns for boat operations.
As a result, we regret to inform you that all Thonburi Canal Tours are temporarily suspended until the flooding situation improves and conditions are safe for operation.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Itinerary
08:30 hrs.
Depart from your hotel and head to Rattanakosin Island, the historic heart of Bangkok.
Wat Traimit (The Temple of the Golden Buddha):
Visit Wat Traimit, also known as the Temple of the Golden Buddha, is situated in Bangkok’s Chinatown. The highlight of this temple is a massive golden Buddha statue, which is the world’s largest solid gold statue, weighing over five tons. Visitors can explore the temple grounds and learn about the history of the Golden Buddha. Continue the tour visit Chinatown. The bustling business area of Chinatown is especially known for its gold jewellery shops. Chinatown in Bangkok is centered around Yaowarat Road. It’s a vibrant, colorful area with its bustling street markets, gold shops, Chinese restaurants, shrines, temples, old shophouses, Chinese language neon signs and maze of narrow alleyways. The area has kept its cultural identity intact and thankfully avoided commercial redevelopment. Examples of well-preserved colonial-style architecture are abundant.
See the 46-metre Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, including the mother-of-pearl decoration on its feet. Continue through the temple courtyards to see its chedis and Buddha images, away from the main reclining Buddha hall.
Travel by long-tail boat through the Thonburi canals, passing waterside homes, temples and neighbourhoods. The view from the boat offers a different perspective on Bangkok beyond its busy streets. The landmarks and stops depend on your selected route.
Continue your exploration with a sightseeing drive along Ratchadumnoen Rd, affectionately known as the Royal’s Way. This route is dotted with significant sites, including the City Pillar Shrine, National Museum, Democracy Monument, and the Anantasamakhom Palace, offering a panoramic view of Bangkok’s historical and cultural landmarks.
