Description
Hop on a typical Thai long-tail boat to explore the Yai Canal in Thonburi, the ancient capital of Thailand and experience a local part of Bangkok like it was 50 years ago, far away from the crowded and well-known tourist areas. Visit Baan Silapin to see life on and around the klongs (canals) of women hanging laundry to dry, and children jumping into the water and swimming in the canal!

Yai Canal Tour in Thonburi
- Meet the tour guide at the meeting point to sit back in the long-tail boat and enjoy life along the canal.
- Make a stop at Baan Silapin (The Artist's House), a traditional Thai house that has been converted into a public space to preserve art and traditional performance styles such as puppetry. The wooden house, over 200 years old and lovingly restored by its owner, sits at the heart of a small community of rustic shophouses, which are connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the klong (canal).
- Pass Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, which was built in the mid-Ayutthaya period in the Phasi Charoen District in Thonburi. The boat driver will stop the boat so that you can take a good photo of the huge Buddha statue at this temple. The Buddha statue towers nearly 70 meters above the ground, the height of a 20-story building, and it is Bangkok's biggest Buddha image, with a width of 40 meters in its cross-legged meditation posture.
Note: We do not get off the long-tail boat, but the boat driver will stop so that you can take a photo of the Buddha statue.
