Located on the western bank of Chao Phraya river opposite to Bangkok's Old City, Thonburi was once a capital of Siam (ancient Thailand) and is now a district of Bangkok. The timeless area is Bangkok's very last area where people still work on agriculture and fruit farming, and commute on extensive waterways. Thonburi makes a perfect escape from Bangkok. The area perpetually has upcountry vibes that make you forget Bangkok's bustles and skyscrapers which are actually only a few kilometres away. The best way to explore Thonburi is to cruise its network of canals on a long-tail boat where you can see ways of life along the canals, wooden houses on stilts, and canal dwellers like monitor lizards!

The boat trip is not the only highlight of this experience. Throughout 5 hours, you will enjoy Thai delicacies at different areas far from tourists' radar, starting with breakfast at the heart of Talad Phlu, a wet market known as Chinatown of Thonburi. Then we will eat ourselves silly along the way, and have a late lunch at Wang Lang Market, a street food heaven of Thonburi and probably the best place to experience Thai street food culture in Bangkok. You will eat so much that you might have to skip dinner. All dishes are local food that you may never have tried before. Needless to say they are delicious!
