Bangkok
RICE - ½ Day - Rice Barge Tour ( private and joint tour )

Daily departure from Bangkok, both as a private tour ( private pick up / drop off and a joint cruise ) and joining with other travellers.

In older days daily commerce in Thailand was conducted mostly along the canals (or klongs in Thai). Bangkok water network was busy and served as the principal means of communication causing Bangkok to be called the Venice of the East by the early European visitors. The klongs still exert considerable charm, as does the Maenam Chao Phraya (River of Kings) which flows through Bangkok.

The trip starts by long tail speed boat onto the klongs of Bangkok. What you will see of this water borne way of life is fascination, it gives you a taste of a bygone era when much of the city life revolved around the river & its network of canals. You will be surprised at how different the city looks from the canals and how quickly you seem to be in the countryside. Approx. 30 minutes later, we change the boat / move to a converted rive barge (approx).
