Embark on a mesmerizing canal cruise through Bangkok, often called the "Venice of the East," where waterways once served as the main roads of the city. As you glide through the canals, you’ll step back in time to see how locals lived 300 years ago—residents still dwell in charming stilt houses along the water and travel by boat, just as they did centuries ago. Discover the everyday life of ordinary Thais, a striking contrast to the opulence of the royal palaces. Enjoy the unique experience of feeding fish right from your hands, a local tradition believed to cleanse one’s karma. If you’re feeling adventurous, sample some delicious treats at a floating market, where vendors and buyers navigate the water on small boats. This is an experience that beautifully captures the spirit of Bangkok's past and present.
Explore Wat Phra Chetuphon, commonly known as Wat Pho, one of Bangkok’s oldest and largest temples, renowned for its impressive Reclining Buddha statue. This magnificent 46-meter-long golden Buddha, with mother-of-pearl inlaid feet, represents the Buddha’s peaceful entry into Nirvana and is a must-see attraction. Wat Pho is also considered the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, with its serene grounds offering visitors a chance to experience this ancient practice. Adorned with stunning chedis, intricate murals, and beautiful pavilions, Wat Pho is a vibrant blend of spirituality, art, and history, offering a unique glimpse into Thailand’s rich cultural heritage.

The tour itself was awesome. Poppy was a great guide. However, it was very confusing. The whole group of about 20 booked through Viator and there were at least 3 different ending times. We were booked at 7:30 for an 8 hour tour which would have gotten us back about 3:30 since we had another tour that night. Some people had a tour that was scheduled from 8-4 and another large group had a tour that said it would last 10 hours. There was a lot of controversy because some wanted to stay and eat and we needed to get back. I am not sure why there were different time durations for the same tour, but I hope you can fix this for others who have time constraints. We were told that we should have notified the tour operator before the tour started, but it didn't cross our minds since we should have been back around 3:30. As it was, we got back about 5PM and barely made our evening tour that left at 5:30. Other than that issue, the tour was amazing and Poppy was a great guide and resource.
Thank you for your feedback and kind words about our guide. Regarding the timing, please pay closer attention to the “Additional Information” section of the tour description, which clearly states that the pickup time and tour start time may vary and may be modified according to the ship’s arrival time. The total tour duration was delivered as promised, as well as the time spent at each site. For any future bookings with Viator, we strongly recommend reviewing the tour description and itinerary carefully to ensure the activity meets your expectations. Safe travels!
This rating is for the wrong information listed on Viator and not the tour itself. The tour and especially the guide Poppy should recieve 5 stars. She went over and above to accommodate. My issuse is that there were several listing on Viator that combined into one tour, each with a different time frame. I had a 0730 start and 8 hour tour another had 0800 start with 8 hour tour and others showed tour lasting 8-10 hours. I expected the tour to be over in the time listed when I booked and had planned another activity after that to find out the tour was going to last much longer than my schedule said and would miss the activity afterwards that was already paid for. There were discussions in the group and the guide Poppy did everything she could to accommodate everyone. Verify the timing if you book this tour and avoid the troubles it caused my group.
Make sure you have tops that cover the top of your arms, down to the elbows. Lots of water. Sun cream in the summer. Change in Baht, for tips and meal. Our meal was 500 baht for 2. The venues were very close to each other, so not too much walking. You do need to take shoes off many times. Getting on and off the boat was tricky due to the current and waves. Good fun.
Outstanding value with excellent guide. Poppy was excellent and maneuvered us efficiently through the crowds. She guided us with humor and experience. Definitely one of the best guides ever! Great value!
Our guide Mr Dan was very knowledgeable and passionate about temples. This tour is for those who really want to see a lot of temples in a day. There is little time for shopping if that's what you're expecting. For those of you who want down time to roam on your own, you may want to book the Bangkok on your own tour. I truly enjoyed this tour and glad I did this instead of on my own as I wouldn't have forced myself to visit all these amazing temples . The Canal ride was a welcome break from walking and gave a good look into the living conditions of the locals.
