We’re embarking on a private long-tail boat tour along the Chao Phraya River and canals in the Thonburi area. As we cruise along the water, we’ll ooh and aah at the traditional wooden houses and stilt houses that line the canals, observe the local way of life, and gawk at bustling markets and ancient temples. The famous long-tail boats will speed by, making us feel like true adventurers, and the private nature of the tour provides a more intimate and personalized experience. If we’re lucky, we might even spot some handsome guys taking a swim in the canal. As we relax on the boat, we’ll take in the peaceful atmosphere and enjoy the picturesque scenery of Thai life along the river banks. So, grab your sunnies and let’s set sail! |
