Tour Plan

Pickup from Bangkok Hotel (9:00 AM)
Your exciting day begins with a smooth pickup from your hotel in central Bangkok. Our professional and friendly guide will meet you at the hotel lobby and escort you to your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back and relax as you make your way toward Tha Chang Pier (Tha Tien), the starting point of your private longtail boat tour. Your driver will ensure you are well taken care of, setting the stage for a day full of adventure and discovery.
Traditional Longtail Boat Ride Along the Chao Phraya River
Once you reach the pier, board your private longtail boat and embark on a thrilling cruise along the Chao Phraya River, also known as the "River of Kings." As the boat glides through the water, you’ll pass traditional Thai wooden houses, local floating markets, and vibrant canals, giving you a truly authentic glimpse into the daily lives of the locals. The longtail boat’s narrow shape allows it to navigate through the hidden waterways, taking you into the heart of Bangkok’s lesser-explored areas. Feel the wind in your hair as you enjoy the picturesque surroundings and listen to your guide's insightful commentary. This boat ride is not just a sightseeing tour—it's a deep dive into the culture of Bangkok, where the waterway plays a vital role in the life of the city. You’ll gain an appreciation for the beauty and significance of these canals, which were once the main thoroughfares of the city before the construction of modern roads.
Visit to Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)
Your next stop is Pak Khlong Talat, Bangkok's famous flower market. As you walk through this bustling market, you’ll be surrounded by a colorful array of fresh flowers, orchids, and traditional Thai floral arrangements. The scent of jasmine, roses, and marigolds fills the air as the market comes alive with vendors selling everything from flowers to herbs and local plants. Take time to explore the vibrant stalls, capture beautiful photos, and learn about the cultural significance of flowers in Thai traditions. Whether it’s for ceremonies, religious offerings, or decorative purposes, flowers hold an important place in Thai culture, and your visit to Pak Khlong Talat will allow you to experience this firsthand.
Scenic Pass by the Grand Palace
As your boat continues its journey along the Chao Phraya River, you’ll pass by one of Thailand’s most famous landmarks: the Grand Palace. Although you won’t be stopping to enter, this royal residence is best admired from the water, where you’ll get a breathtaking view of its ornate architecture. The Grand Palace complex, with its gold-tipped roofs and intricate details, has been the official residence of the Kings of Thailand since 1782 and remains a symbol of the country’s royal heritage. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the history of the palace, its significance to Thai culture, and the Emerald Buddha Temple, which is located within the palace grounds.
Discover Wat Arun - The Temple of Dawn
One of the highlights of your private boat tour is Wat Arun, or the Temple of Dawn, a stunning riverside temple that is a must-see in Bangkok. As your boat approaches the temple, the striking porcelain-encrusted spires of Wat Arun become even more impressive. This temple is one of the most photographed sites in Bangkok, and for good reason. Its intricate design, combined with the breathtaking view of the river and city skyline, makes it an unforgettable sight. If you choose to disembark, you can climb up the temple’s terraces for panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River. However, even from the boat, the beauty of this temple will captivate you. Your guide will explain the historical and religious importance of Wat Arun, making it one of the most enriching stops on your journey.
Pass by Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall
As your boat continues its leisurely cruise, you’ll pass by Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall, a grand example of Italian Renaissance-style architecture. Located within the Dusit Palace complex, this impressive structure was once used for royal ceremonies and remains a place of great importance in Thailand’s history. While the boat ride doesn’t include a stop at the Throne Hall, you’ll be able to admire its striking white marble façade from the water. Your guide will share details about the palace’s royal function and significance, ensuring that you leave with a deeper understanding of Thai royalty.
Return to Hotel (1:00 PM)
After an enriching and awe-inspiring journey through the canals of Bangkok, it’s time to return to your hotel. Your private driver will take you back to your hotel, where you can reflect on the incredible sights, sounds, and experiences you’ve had. Whether it was the traditional longtail boat ride, the colorful flower market, or the majestic temples and royal palaces, this tour is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories of Bangkok's vibrant culture and history.

Wonderful tour

We had wonderful time on our tour. The tour was the perfect mixture of market, temple and canal sights. The guide was kind and knowledgeable, and the length of the tour was perfect for our two children. We loved seeing the giant beautiful Buddha and the Temple of the Dawn, and our children loved feeding the fish in the canals and seeing the large monitor lizards on the banks. Highly recommend this tour for families..

Touring Bangkok with AYE you personal Thai Tour Guide

My colleague and I wanted to see the sights and Miss Supatsara Wonghong (Aye) showed us around to the key landmarks. She's a wealth of knowledge about Thai history and impresses with her expansive recall of dates and historical info. We toured several temples and got she helped us "skip the line" and got us right into several venues very quickly. That's nice when it's so hot and you don't have to wrestle with the crowds. We toured the canals and got a glimpse of how the working class live, work and worship near the river. Thai people are very friendly and welcoming and Aye is certainly representative of their gracious nature. Transportation was very clean and well air-conditioned, so getting around town in the heat and congestion is done in style..
