Best Side of Bangkok

5.00This was my favorite trip in Bangkok! Our tour guide, Shin, was extremely knowledgeable about the tour and did his best to make sure we had a good time. It rained while we were touring and Shin provided umbrellas for each of us which was very nice and considerate. We did not feel rushed as we were given time to explore each location. Thonburi was my favorite part of Bangkok. The charm of the homes, the people, and the location gave an energy and vibe completely different than the bustling side of Bangkok. The views from the canal was incredible especially as we approached the Big Golden Buddha. The museums, cafes, and tucked away alleyways provided even further charm. Just visiting on this tour, confirmed that I will be staying in this area when I return to Thailand. Thank you Shin for this introduction and a great outing!!
Super nice excursion!!!

5.00Great tour with Kris. Amazing on the EV boat on Thonburi side , lovely food and drinks included. Highlight of our trip so far. This tour company is a class apart. Kris speaks excellent English. We learned a lot about not only the things we saw, but also Thai culture and history. Would thoroughly recommend booking this EV Boat tour with Magical Trip. Book it, you won’t regret it.

5.00Pond, our tour guide was sweet and extremely informative. She told us about the history of Bangkok and gave informative tours of temples and the artist house. It was great going on the electric boat, much quieter and calmer than the other boats on the canal. We had a wonderful time and wish to extend our gratitude to a great tour guide. If you get a chance, we highly recommend this tour.
Best Canal tour experience with bonus of travelling on EV eco friendly boat

5.00The Tour was fantastic, if you are looking for a calming break from Bangkok’s business but still wanting to sight see the temples and local areas this tour would be perfect. The canal trip was in a electric boat meaning the tour guides could explain the temples surrounding the canal. This also enabled us to really take in the sights. The guides themselves were informative, kind and didn’t rush us. We were even 15 minutes late due to traffic and they waited for us and escorted us to the next meeting point. The canal boat ride was peaceful and paced well. The lunch was delicious and it felt like you saw so much in such a short amount of time. Would highly recommend this tour. Simply amazing!!
