Boat through Damnoen Saduak, then see trains slip past stalls at Maeklong Railway Market. Guided transport, photos, and shop time.
“The trip was great Our guide Sam was amazing.100% recommedation! We were really happy to travel with mokey travel. Everytthing was on time, good bus and guide with sense of humour”
Cruise Bangkok klongs by longtail boat, visit Baan Silapin and Wat Paknam, and learn local Thonburi life in a small-group 2-hour tour.
“Complete waste of money. Only 1.5 hours. Zero information on tour. Don’t waste time or money. Artist house is a market.”
White Orchid Chao Phraya dinner cruise in Bangkok with unlimited beer, a Thai and Western buffet, live music, and cabaret on the river.
“Spectacular view of the fireworks, incredible atmosphere, views along the river were phenomenal, service and food were both very good. Only fault was the chaos to get checked in and board the boat but it was New Year’s Eve and expected it to be busy. Would definitely recommend this experience.”
A 2-hour long-tail boat canal cruise through Bangkok’s klongs, with a stop at Baan Silapin and a photo moment at the giant Buddha.
“Really fun tour of something we hadn't seen in bangkok yet. Johan was really enthusiastic and taught us a lot about that side of Bangkok. He seemed to enjoy his job and was happy to answer any questions we had. The boats were cool and we didn't get seasick like we thought we would. The only thing is that I wish we had more time at the market. We only had 20 minutes which was enough to feed the fish, use the restroom, and make a quick lap around the market. You'd have to go on your own to really see everything or buy stuff.”
Ride the Bangkok Chao Phraya River hop-on hop-off boat for an all-day ticket, 11 piers, and easy temple access without traffic.
“Good time saving activity. For it to be worth the money, you should travel about 4 times (easily done over the 11 piers). No guide included.”

“A total surprise. Good looking cruise. Excellent food. Good entertainment. Great atmosphere”
Longtail boat through Bangkok canals to Big Buddha and Wat Arun. 2 hours with English guide, bottled water, Wat Pho drop-off.
“The tour guide deserves 5 stars for enthusiasm and presentation. The canals did not really have much to see. Aside from a tiny section when we got to the giant golden buddha, and then stopped at the artist center, the canals just faced the back of everyday residences, apartment buildings. Nothing worth seeing.”
Bike through Old Bangkok on small streets, then cruise by long-tail boat with lunch at a canal-side restaurant for $47.
“Today I did an absolutely amazing bike tour. Five hours of exploring Bangkok, including a beautiful boat ride across the river in a longtail boat. Along the way you really see everything: rich and poor side by side, stunning buildings, and even monitor lizards resting in the water along the banks. After that we enjoyed an authentic Thai lunch — and I mean real Thai style: seriously spicy 🔥 We got back on our bikes, covered several highlights, and ended at the Big Buddha. So impressive and overwhelming, it truly leaves you speechless. I can highly recommend Otto — go explore the city with him and you’re guaranteed an unforgettable…”
Two-hour White Orchid dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya with Thai and international buffet, live music, and a cabaret show at night.
“There is a certain rush to enter the boat cruise and then at the buffet counter. Overall it was a pleasant experience, would recommend it. The topmost deck, which is the open air deck had to be closed due to the rain.”
The Planet Chao Phraya Sunset or Dinner cruise brings open-air rooftop views, an international buffet, and live band energy past Bangkok icons.
