Things To Do In Bangkok: Longtail Boat Canal Klong Tour

See why Bangkok used to be called “the Venice of the East” by exploring its canals and the communities that still live on them, right in the heart of the modern metropolis

Bangkok Longtail Canal Klong Tour

It’s a cliche to talk about the pace of change in cities – how everything gets put up and ripped down so rapidly, especially in cities all across Asia. But Bangkok takes that speed of change one step further – there are few other cities outside China where a metropolis has metamorphosed so radically from its origins than in Bangkok. Visitors to Bangkok in the early part of the 20th century saw canals crisscrossing the city and providing the chief means of moving around it, all feeding off the Chao Praya river where tradeboats came in. These canals gradually succumbed to being filled in and turned into roads, generating the gridlock for which Bangkok has become notorious.

But still in the heart of Bangkok lies a huge network of canals where hundreds of people go about their daily lives, just the other side of the Chao Praya from the huge skyscrapers of the financial district but seemingly a world away. Bangkok’s canals are a magical place to visit and are a remarkable contrast to the frenetic pace of the rest of the city.

Bangkok Longtail Canal Klong Tour

You can get your very own tour of the klongs (canals) by hiring a longtail boat to take you there. There are several gentlemen touting for business at Saphan Taksin, the riverboat and BTS Skytrain stop – a longtail boat will comfortably hold at least six people and I’ve been variously charged 1500 and 1800 baht per boat for an hour and half trip around the klongs. There are all sorts of routes you can take, with lots of extra attractions to go and see and places to disembark for lunch or explore. You could make a whole day of it if you wanted. Both times I’ve done it, we’ve elected to simply stay in the boat and explore the klongs themselves.

Bangkok Longtail Canal Klong Tour

Riding a longtail boat is a bit of an adventure in itself – the distinct narrow, beautifully crafted wooden hull is powered by the famous longtail engine – basically a car engine with a propeller shaft attached. The longtails were made famous by the chase sequences in the James Bond flick The Man With The Golden Gun, and they can shift when the boatman opens up the throttle.

To enter the klongs, you pass through a lock which was build to prevent the houses along the canals flooding when the main river rises during the river season. Once through there – and sometimes it can take 15 minutes of waiting or so – you enter into the network of canals proper. It’s worth having your camera ready from the start, because lining the canals are all manner of houses from the most dilapidated to the impressively grand, all cheek by jowl with one another. The canals are quite narrow – only about 20 feet across – so there’s a lot to take in. Along the way, there are numerous temples, shrines, restaurants and schools and you’ll see the locals going about their day.

There’s one enterprising lady who is a one-woman floating market, waiting in her little boat for visitors to come along to buy some trinkets. She’s very friendly and speaks excellent English. There’s also mobile food vendors, who have their charcoal grill rigged up in the boat itself and are busy cooking up delicious chicken kebabs whilst paddling around the klongs with admirable dexterity. You’ll inevitably see kids messing around on the water’s edge and taking a swim – they give a cheery wave when you go by and usually try and compete over who can push the other one in the water first too.

Bangkok Longtail Canal Klong Tour

In short, there’s a whole way of life to see on the klongs, just by sitting on a boat and taking it all in. It makes a welcome change from the traffic snarlups on the other side of the river and also lets you get a glimpse of life as it used to be lived through much of Bangkok. The west bank of the river has remained largely undeveloped and this will no doubt soon change – but hopefully the klongs will remain and perhaps even have a renaissance as a way for 21st century Bangkokians to get around their city.

I’ve included a couple of klong photos here and there’s a gallery of pics you can browse too – click for larger images:

  • Klong Tour Thonburi: Explore Bangkok’s hidden canals by Longtail Boat

Avatar for Anete

Do you know why Bangkok is often referred to as the Venice of Asia? That’s because part of the city is fully covered in water canals or Klongs, houses built on water and basically all the life happening on the water.

And the best thing – it’s green, peaceful and relaxing. Not the typical adjectives that people normally use to describe the busy and crowded capital of Thailand.

To experience this different face of Bangkok I took a 90-minute longtail boat tour taking me through the narrow canals and allowing me to see the local life on the water. And to be honest, this tour was definitely the biggest highlight on my first ever visit Bangkok.

Klong Tour Thonburi

Discovering canals of Thonburi

The west bank of Chao Phraya River is called Thonburi and it’s the only area of the fast-growing Bangkok that hasn’t been developing with the time. Quite the opposite. It’s still like it used to be, with man-made water canals used as streets, small boats parked by the sides of the local houses that are built right on the water.

Can you imagine that Thonburi was once the capital of Thailand, at the end of the 18th century?

Part of the locals has never wanted to let this piece of history go, so they still live the slow-paced lifestyle.

Not everyone in Thonburi lives wealthy, so circling through the narrow canals allowed me to see fragile huts built right on the water that looked like they’re about to collapse if the wind blows a bit stronger. Some windows didn’t have glass and seemed to have no electricity either.

Klong Tour Thonburi

People here go to work by boat. They buy their fruit and vegetable from the neighbors who use their boats as floating markets.

The kids play on the porch of their homes right above the water. They throw in some bread to attract the fish and then jump in the water to play with them.

In between the houses by the water, there’s so much greenery – large banana trees, palm trees, green bushes. It’s the kind of nature you don’t see that much in Bangkok.

While people live here in different circumstances, they still seem to be happy, as they wave to the tourists from their porches with warm smiles on their faces.

Klong Tour Thonburi

The boat tour

Taking the tour offers a great contrast between the mighty Chao Phraya River and the small 6-meter wide Klongs. Most of the tours usually start at the Phra Arthit boat pier right next to Khao San Road.

The first few minutes the boat rushes between the quite heavy ferry traffic along the river and then it takes a sharp turn into one of the Klongs that connect the new Bangkok with the old one.

Right after the turn, you suddenly find yourself in a totally different environment.

The city noise slowly disappears, the water becomes more peaceful and local homes in size of small wooden boxes on one side of the canal and larger mansions with beautiful yards on the other side reveal themselves.

Klong Tour Thonburi

And most importantly – the air is fresh, the surroundings are quiet and it feels like you’ve entered a serene oasis. The loud noises coming from your boat’s engine are the only things ruining a bit this otherwise blissful environment.

The tour takes you along temples by the canals, a local school, and other establishments just like in every normal town. But in this case, it’s all on the water. Unfortunately, boat drivers usually don’t speak any English, so they won’t be able to give you more information about any of the objects you’ll see along the way.

I also had an old Thai lady approaching us in her small boat, selling cold drinks, snacks and souvenirs, right before we stopped by a temple, where I could throw in the water some snacks for the fish myself, sold to me by a local monk.

Always keep an eye on the boat coasts, as you might notice some monitor lizards sunbathing there.

I was so impressed with the surroundings and how different Thonburi life is from the rest of the Bangkok, that 90-minute tour felt like it’s been only 15 minutes.

Klong Tour Thonburi

How to organize this tour?

Simply show up on the spot at the N13 Phra Arthit Pier . There are two tour desks, one at the entrance on the street and the other one on the actual pier. I used the first one. The prices and the route at both desks are the same.

You can choose a 60-minute or 90-minute tours. One takes a shorter route through the Klongs, while the other one adds 20 minutes more in the Klongs and 20 minutes on the Chao Phraya River to see the skyline of the new Bangkok.

The prices vary based on the season. I visited during the high season and the fixed price was 750 THB per person for a 1 hour trip or 1000 THB per person for 90-minutes. The cashier lady was not up for negotiation at all.

During May – October, the price per person is around 500 THB for a private boat.

Klong Tour Thonburi

PRO TIP : if you would like to visit any of the temples or the houses of the locals, these kinds of tours exist too and can be arranged via travel agents in town or online. The classic tour from the pier that I took follows the regular route without stopping anywhere.

The tours run daily from 7:00 – 18:00, with the best light and atmosphere early in the morning. It’s smart to go during the weekdays, but generally, the canals never feel too busy.

A longtail boat tour is a fun activity for all ages. You just have to be flexible enough to be able to climb from a high pier into a very low boat and back.

Klong Tour Thonburi

How to get to N13 Phra Arthit Pier?

If you’re staying anywhere in the Khao San Road area, the pier is within walking distance.

Otherwise, the best way to get there is to take MRT Metro to Hua Lamphong Station or BTS Skytrain to National Stadium and grab a metered taxi to go the final distance. The Taxi should cost no more than 100 THB.

How to get there

  • Sathorn Pier

Bangkok once held the moniker “Venice of the East” because the city built itself up along abundant waterways. Many of the canals on the east side of the river has since been filled up, making way for concrete and asphalt. On the westside in Thonburi however, traversable canals still exist and make for excellent studies of how locals lived in the past.

Longtail boats can be hired in two ways. First, individuals touting their longtail boat tours are stationed along major piers including the central Sathorn Pier. These individuals are hired on demand and passengers are required to negotiate prices based on duration, number of passengers, and destinations. Second, tour companies can be found online with set prices and itineraries. Depending on what you choose, experiences can range from simple scenery viewings to active guided tours that include mini stops along the way.

Thonburi to the west is less built up with far fewer tall buildings, and it still boasts huge swathes of undeveloped land filled with palms, banana plants and other verdant vegetation, all of which are dissected by its myriad klongs. As you go by in your boat, observe hawkers ply their trade selling goods, kway teow rice noodles, grilled squid and other wares from their smaller boats, children swim around the piers, and groups of men fish along the banks and under bridges.
