What To Expect
Khlong Bang Luang Artist House
Khlong Bang Luang, a charming old canal-side community where the Artist House (Baan Silapin) gives you a taste of Bangkok’s creative soul.
Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen
Come see one of Bangkok’s most impressive landmarks — the Big Buddha at Wat Paknam. This enormous golden statue stands 69 meters tall and is a true showstopper, visible from all around the city. Up close, it’s even more breathtaking. During this sightseeing visit, you’ll have time to walk around the statue, take stunning photos, and admire the peaceful temple surroundings. It’s a short but memorable stop that gives you a glimpse into Thai culture, spirituality, and modern craftsmanship. No tours, no extras — just you, your camera, and a giant golden Buddha.

Cruise on the canals of Thonburi 🚤

5.00Excellent experience with Hidden Bangkok Boat. This canal cruise of the Thonburi district allows you to discover a more authentic and peaceful face of Bangkok, far from the classic tourist circuits. The cruise is very nice, the pace is quiet and the scenery is really beautiful, on Uncle Gary's boat. Several stops are planned at interesting sites, which makes the tour even more rewarding. The guide, Wai, is Anglophone, local, very friendly, we were able to exchange on the history but also daily life in this neighborhood. You feel a real knowledge of the terrain and a sincere desire to discover their neighborhood! The human-sized boat makes the experience friendly and comfortable. A great way to discover Bangkok otherwise. I highly recommend 👍
