Meeting Point
Bang Wha BTS station

The floating market
Visit a true local floating market just outside Bangkok, where the atmosphere feels relaxed, authentic, and refreshingly unpolished. Instead of crowds and staged souvenir stops, you’ll find excellent street food, family-run stalls, and flavors locals actually love. After exploring, enjoy a long-tail boat cruise through the old canals, where wooden homes and riverside life reveal how Bangkok has lived for generations.
Long tail boat ride
Glide through Thonburi’s old canals on a long-tail boat and see Bangkok from the water, just as people have for generations. It’s a peaceful, scenic ride past wooden houses, quiet temples, and everyday riverside life, with moments that feel far removed from the city’s bustle. The best part is the contrast: you leave the busy streets behind and enter a slower, more traditional Bangkok that most visitors never get to experience.
Ending Point
Bang Wha or Wuttakart BTS station.
