📍 Highlights

○ Long-tail motor boat trip

Notice?:
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.
