A Different Side of Bangkok

This was a really interesting experience - a completely different side of Bangkok and very different from the usual Chao Phraya River vibes. Our tour guide, Kay, was very funny and made the experience enjoyable. Definitely recommend! 👍🏻

Nice Boat Tour

It was a nice Trip with a nice tour guide but I would have loved to here more historical facts about the City and things we saw.

Kay was fantastic! A wonderful look at the beautiful city from the water, both the big sites and also a glimpse of everyday life. Would recommend.
