"The khlong tour was the highlight of our entire Thailand trip. Gliding through the canals in a longtail boat, seeing stilted houses and kids jumping into the water — it felt like we'd left Bangkok entirely. The tuk tuk ride to the pier was beautiful too."

"I've visited Bangkok five times and never knew this side of the city existed. The floating market was authentic — not touristy at all — and the riverside temple was one of the most peaceful places I've been. Highly recommend."

"Our guide explained the history of the khlongs beautifully. You really understand how Bangkok was once the Venice of the East. The local village visit was moving — the community was so welcoming. A must-do experience."

"We did the Chinatown tour the night before and loved it, so we booked the khlong tour for the next morning. Completely different vibe — tranquil, green, and full of surprises. Paula's team really knows how to show you the real Bangkok."

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you see on the Khlong Edition floating villages tour?

You ride a traditional long-tail boat through Bangkok's hidden canals (khlongs) to a living canal village of wooden stilt houses and local vendors, and visit Wat Paknam, the towering "Big Buddha" where the Chao Phraya River meets the canals. It's an authentic slice of riverside life well beyond the usual tourist routes.

Do you ride a boat on the Khlong tour?

Yes. The Khlong Edition pairs our electric tuk tuk with a peaceful long-tail boat ride through Bangkok's canals, so you experience the floating village and waterways from the water itself.

How long is the Khlong Edition tour and how many guests can join?

The tour lasts approximately 5 hours and is private to your group: up to 6 guests share the tuk tuk and boat. An English-speaking assistant guides you throughout, with an optional stop at a handpicked modern Thai restaurant.
