4.00This tour specifically takes you through one of the 1700+ canals in Bangkok. It covers the Artist Village and the BiG Buddha temple. It drops you at Wat Arun temple. So if you have time, you can visit that too. Our Guide Tony was very informative, helpful with a good sense of humour. Managed Time well. Just that quite some time in the travel is gone in seeing some dilapidated and broken houses alongside the canal. Worth a trip if you want to try something different in Bangkok!
Very fun!
