5.00Can highly recommend this tour if you are interested in how historical Bangkok once was. The boat ride along the canals was a great experience. You are able to see and visit homes, markets businesses and places of worship from a very different perspective. Really enjoyed it and our guide ‘Pear’ did an excellent job in explaining the history.
