The AGS Executive Summary
Escape the concrete jungle on a private longtail boat, navigating the intricate network of canals in Thonburi to see the 'Venice of the East' as it looked a century ago.
The Operator & Origin Story
While the eastern side of the Chao Phraya river was paved over for modern development, the western side (Thonburi) retains its massive network of khlongs. It provides a stark look at the traditional, water-based lifestyle of working-class Bangkok.
The Itinerary & Deep Dive
Board a traditional teak longtail boat at a central pier. As you cross into the Thonburi canals, the roar of the city vanishes.
You glide past wooden stilted houses, floating kitchens, and small ornate temples. You will see massive monitor lizards sunning themselves on the banks and children jumping into the water. The tour typically stops at an orchid farm or the spectacular Artist's House (Baan Silapin) for a traditional puppet show.
