The Experience

What your day looks like

Start this afternoon by traveling to Museum Siam, which reveals several exhibits displaying the national identity and history of Thai people and their relationships with neighboring cultures. This museum houses over 100,000 artifacts from Thailand's past. It also has an incredible garden that will be sure to delight both kids and adults alike! The concept of the museum is 'Play + Learn = Joyously', achieved through a series of interactive exhibits. Next, hop on a traditional longtail boat to meander through the quaint canals taking in the quieter side of Bangkok life, which would not be complete without an exploration of the spectacular and iconic Wat Arun. Take time to explore the iconic temple towering 79 meters over the Chao Phraya River offering a panorama across Bangkok from the Thonburi side. It overlooks the Chao Phraya River and offers breathtaking views from its spires. The temple itself was built in 1782 by King Rama I as part of a larger project that included many other temples throughout Bangkok as well as several palaces. Finally, head back across the river and walk back to MRT Station.

Overall it was a great experience. The title is a little misleading it’s more than a canal tour but so much better. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to see some of Bangkoks highlights! The guide was also very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions.
