Away from shopping malls and tourist spots, Thonburi is a different shade of Bangkok by exploring canals and the communities that still live on them, right in the heart of the modern metropolis.
The long-tailed boat will take you into Bangkok Yai canal to see the way of life. Then we will stop by Klong Bang Luang community along the canal which brings alive back by a former of Baan Silapin (The House of Artist) to maintain the memories of the past and traditional ways of life. Then visit temples of KING TAKSIN the great, the king of THONBURI era. Next, you meander to TALAT PHLU thru the old community of Thai-Chinese people. You are delighted by the fragrant aromas and exotic dishes as you pass the various street vendors.
