Royal Palace visit and long tail boat tour of the canals gives a fascinating insight into Thai culture and history

The Royal Palace and Temples were both unique and beautiful. An absolute pleasure to take in Thailand’s traditional artistry and history, curated by our knowledgeable and helpful guide Tak. Adding on a long tail boat tour of the city canals is a must. This allows you to glimpse into the private homes and businesses of true locals and avoid the gruelling city road traffic. A stop off at the Artist House in Bang Luang is well worth the experience.
