Escape the hustle and bustle of Bangkok’s busy streets and enjoy a relaxing sightseeing cruise down the Chao Phraya River and the networks of khlongs (canals) - the waterways that earned Bangkok its pseudonym 'Venice of the East’.

• Pick-up and drop-off from central Bangkok hotels
• Chao Phraya River sightseeing cruise
• Soft Drinks and local fruits served aboard the rice barge
• Services of an English-speaking guide

Despite the fast pace at which Bangkok has developed over the past fifty years, her rivers and canals continue to play an important part in daily life and the people of Bangkok still depend on the water to transport their produce and merchandise, particularly rice. This enjoyable experience offers a glimpse of local Thai life as you cruise along Bangkok’s waterways. Your day starts with an exciting long tailed speedboat ride past exotic flora, picturesque canal houses on stilts and children playing in the water. You then join a converted rice barge for a leisurely cruise along the Chao Phraya River. Soft drinks and local fruits are served on board as you sit back and take in the amazing Thai scenery past ancient riverside temples and modern skyscrapers. A highlight of the cruise is a wonderful view of Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn).
