Hidden Bangkok Canals, Temples and Church Half Day Tour

Cruise Bangkok's hidden canals by longtail boat, visit Wat Arun and lesser known temples, and discover Chinese and Portuguese heritage at Santa Cruz Church on this private 4 hour journey through the city's waterways. Step off the well worn Klong tour route and into the Bangkok that most visitors never see. This 4 hour longtail boat journey follows the canals of Thonburi, where daily life along the water has changed little in generations. Board a traditional longtail boat on the Chao Phraya River and glide past Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, before continuing by tuk tuk to Wat Hong Rattanaram, a temple dating to the late Ayutthaya period. Visit Wat Pichaiyatikaram, notable for its Chinese style roofline, then step inside Santa Cruz Church to see the Portuguese and Chinese influences that shaped this riverside community. Guided throughout by an English speaking guide, this small scale outing reveals communities, temples and architecture rarely seen on standard city tours.
