Kavaya Tour

Half Day Klong Tour

Embark on an enchanting morning adventure as you glide along the bustling Chao Phraya River, connecting to the serene canals known as the Klongs. Your journey begins with a comfortable drive to River City Pier, where you will board a traditional long-tail boat. This tour offers a unique perspective of Bangkok, showcasing the vibrant life along the riverbanks.

As you navigate the waterways, you will pass notable landmarks such as the Oriental Hotel, the historic customs house, Santa Cruz Cathedral, and Wat Kanlayanamit. A highlight of your excursion is a stop at the magnificent Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn. Situated on the Thonburi side of the river, this temple holds a significant place in Bangkok's history, having been established during King Taksin's reign. King Rama II later enhanced its grandeur by raising the main tower to 64 meters and adorning it with intricate pieces of Chinese porcelain.
