Bangkok Canals: A Khlong Tour

[RhinoTusk]

Beautiful day today to be rolling down the river and up the creek for a tour of the Bangkok waterways. Starting at Tha Chang pier on the Chao Phraya, near the Royal Palace, and stopping for a cold one at floating markets along the way. Leave your automobiles and motorbikes behind, all Bangkok may be like this some day.

Cool pics. What a great place.

Great photos! Dang! That cell phone tower is almost as big as Wat Arun. :)

 

What boat do we get on to take the same tour and what is price?

[RhinoTusk]

Don't know what the travel agents offer. I went with a group that rented 2 long-tail boats for 1200/hr each. The boats can accommodate 10-12 passengers, so my total cost was 500 baht including lunch. This between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM today.

Nice one and a reminder to me that I need a few days in Bangkok sometime this year.

I did something similar a few years back.

 

If ya get the Skytrain to the last stop by the river, go down the stairs and the touts will find you!

Had a great time doing that several years ago. Reminded me of a James Bond movie which I can't remember the name of.

 

Great photos, thanks.
