Bangkok Canals: A Khlong Tour


Recommended Posts

Beautiful day today to be rolling down the river and up the creek for a tour of the Bangkok waterways.  Starting at Tha Chang pier on the Chao Phraya, near the Royal Palace, and stopping for a cold one at floating markets along the way.  Leave your automobiles and motorbikes behind, all Bangkok may be like this some day.

Great pics PC. I convinced my ex-gf to take me on the klongs in Feb. She didn't understand my fascination with ways of life. After living in Bkk for 8-10 years, she had never before been on a canal in the city and couldn't understand why anyone would do it willingly.

nice pics. any suggestions on finding a good place to get a boat? Heard about bts at taksin but seems a bit expensive at 1500+ for 2-3 hours. Not interested in seeing all the tourist traps either.

I went with a group. The desel-powered long tail boats rent for 1200/hr and can accommodate 10-12 passengers. My cost was 500 baht for four hours, including lunch.
