Private Half-Day Visit to Thonburi Canals and Old City by Long Tail Boat

Historically, the Thai capital Bangkok was crisscrossed by khlongs (canals), and gained the nickname "Venice of the East". Khlongs were used for transportation and for floating markets, but also for sewage disposal. Today, most of the khlongs of Bangkok have been filled in, although the Thonburi side of Bangkok (covering areas west of Chao Phraya River) still retains several of its larger khlongs. This private half day tour explores the areas areound the canals and gives you a great insight into their history.
