Bangkok Private Canal & Temple Tour: Discover a Peaceful Side of the City
Cruise along peaceful canals and see a quieter side of Bangkok. Pass wooden houses on stilts — some well-kept, others old and leaning — and catch a glimpse of local life by the water. You might even spot a water monitor lizard sunbathing!
Visit the stunning Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), a riverside landmark with its colorful, towering spire. Then take a short ferry ride to Wat Pho, home of the Reclining Buddha — one of Thailand’s most beautiful temple treasures.
End the day at Pak Khlong Talad, Bangkok’s largest flower market, where rows of vibrant blooms create a feast for the senses.

Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun)
Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is one of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks. Its majestic central prang, rising 67 meters high, is the tallest in the city and beautifully adorned with intricate porcelain details. Standing by the river, the temple offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere — a true masterpiece of Thai architecture that you shouldn’t miss.

5.00Paula kept our family entertained all day. Temples were calm and gorgeous, and the canal boat ride was smooth and peaceful perfect for relaxing after walking around. She shared the perfect mix of interesting facts and funny stories along the way. Even the teens, who usually roll their eyes at everything, were grinning by the end of the day.

5.00I came to Thailand alone without much of a plan, so I booked this Private Temples and Canal Tour honestly the best decision I made. Da picked me up right on time and made me feel comfortable right away. She was warm, funny, and felt more like exploring with a local friend than a guide. We visited two beautiful temples, and Da explained everything in a simple, interesting way. The canal boat ride was the highlight for me peaceful, breezy, and such a cool look into everyday local life. We ended at the flower market, full of colors and amazing smells. For someone traveling solo and clueless, this tour made my day easy, fun, and safe. Da was fantastic so glad I didn’t try to do this on my own.

5.00Da had a great vibe and kept us entertained. Wat Pho and Wat Arun were beautiful, and floating along the canal made me forget the city noise. Flower market at the end was super lively Da even helped me pick a small bouquet as a souvenir.

5.00Annie was an absolute delight to spend the day with! She’s friendly, upbeat, and has such a positive vibe that makes everything more fun. She knew all the best photo spots and encouraged us to try some local food we might’ve skipped otherwise turns out they were delicious! The whole day felt perfectly balanced, with just the right mix of sightseeing, culture, and laughter. Annie made everything run so smoothly and kept the mood light the entire time.

5.00The canal tour was absolutely cool! We took a relaxing boat ride along the canal and visited some of Bangkok’s most iconic spots. the Reclining Buddha, a huge Buddha statue, and Wat Arun. We also stopped by the beautiful flower market, which was the perfect way to end the trip. The weather was lovely that day, not too hot, and everything went smoothly. I was really impressed by how beautiful and peaceful everything was. Thanks to our guide, Annie, for taking such good care of us!
