“My husband arranged a last minute day tour with Bangkok Beyond during our recent visit to the city. We began with a canal tour via longtail boat, then a tour of Wat Arun, and finally a visit to Jim Thompson house. Our guide Joy met us at our riverside hotel and we walked to a small pier and hopped on our boat. It was very interesting to see a more traditional side of Bangkok. After seeing Wat Arun from across the river for several days, we loved being able to see it up close in all its broken porcelain splendor. What a gorgeous structure! Finally, it was wonderful to finally get to Jim Thompson house - missed on our first visit 30 years ago. We can't thank Cherry and Joy enough for arranging this lovely tour last minute and for providing such a wonderful cultural experience! We absolutely loved each part of the tour - it couldn't have been better!! ”

Canal tour + Wat Arun
By getting on the boat you can escape the loud and humid city centre. You will get to see another way the people of Bangkok used to live and see how some even live today. It will be a whole new view of the city you have never seen before.
The temple lights up as a white pearl in the morning sun, hence the nickname The Temple of Dawn. Its architecture is quite unique as it reaches high into the air and is encrusted with colorful porcelain. Even at night it is lit up by spotlights and is quite a sight to behold.
