Bangkok famous canals tour by longtail boat

Hop on a typical Thai long-tail boat to explore the Bangkok Yai Canal in Thonburi, the ancient capital of Thailand.During this 2-hour canal adventure you'll explore life on and around the klongs (canals) and get a glimpse of how the local people live. Admire elderly people sitting on the chairs on the wooden docks of their tiny homes overlooking the canal, women hanging laundry to dry, and children jumping into the water and swimming in the canal.Stop by the Baan Silapin (The Artist's House), a traditional Thai house that has been converted into a public space to preserve art and traditional performance styles such as puppetry. This wooden house is over 200 years old and it was lovingly restored by its owner, and it's located at the heart of a small community of rustic shophouses which are connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the klong (canal).Later, you'll pass by Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, built in the mid-Ayutthaya period in the Phasi Charoen District in Thonburi. The boat driver will stop the boat so that you can take a good photo of the huge Buddha statue at this temple. The Buddha statue is towering nearly 70m above the ground, the height of a 20 story building, and it is Bangkok's biggest Buddha image, with a width of 40 meters in its cross-legged meditation posture.
