-Explore the district of Thonburi, located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, where modern skyscrapers coexist harmoniously with ancient temples, painting a picturesque panorama that showcases Bangkok’s diverse architectural heritage.
A canal (klong) tour along Bangkok’s legendary Chao Phraya River and in the Thonburi area offers one of the most captivating ways to explore the traditional allure of this city, often referred to as the ‘Venice of the East’. Thonburi, situated across the Chao Phraya River, is renowned for its numerous Klongs (canals), which are popular destinations for tours on longtail boats. Briefly serving as Thailand’s capital in the 18th century after the fall of Ayutthaya, Thonburi later saw King Rama I relocate his court across the river to Bangkok.
-The Royal Barge Procession is one of the most spectacular events in the world, performed occasionally during the Tod Kathin Buddhist Festival when His Majesty The King delivers new robes to the monks at Wat Arun. This grand event features ornately decorated boats, meticulously maintained by the Royal Thai Navy and docked at The Royal Barge National Museum on the Bangkok Noi Canal, Thonburi side.
The procession showcases several magnificent barges, with the most impressive and significant being the King’s personal barge. Each boat is a testament to Thailand’s rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship, making the Royal Barge Procession a must-see event for anyone visiting Bangkok.
