What to expect

Bangkok is famed for its skyscrapers and fast-paced way of life but on this tour you'll explore a different side to the city. You'll sail down a bustling river and quiet canals to get a feel for the traditional way of life. After cruising along, you'll end up in Bangkok's busy Chinatown for a look around.

The morning starts with a cruise down Bangkok's bustling river, in a long tail boat you'll right at home as you sail past locals selling their wares – many boats are overflowing with fruit and vegetables. Your guide will point out the fascinating sites en route and you'll begin to understand why the canals – or ‘klongs' – are so important here.

And then comes Chinatown. As you arrive, you'll be amazed by the energy here. Packed with market stalls, street-side restaurants and lots of gold shops, Chinatown is an experience not to be missed. Wander along Yaowarat Road – the main artery – and its side streets, and take it all in.
