Tour Details

We will meet at Elefin Coffee on Maha Rat Street at the indicated time. After a brief introduction, we will head to the pier to start this boat trip through the canals of Bangkok.

We will board a traditional long-tail boat and sail through the waters of Bangkok, sharing interesting facts about local life and traditions.

A stop will be made at the Artist's House, or Baan Silapin, a traditional residence with a museum of Thai art. This old wooden building, over 200 years old and restored by its owner, is picturesque.
