Bangkok’s Art & History by Water Limousine
- Full Day
After lunch, walk to the nearest pier at Riva Arun to embark on an about 2-hour water limousine by Supatra River Boat. Be welcomed on board with a welcome drink while the boat starts cruising along the river passing through Bangkok’s old klongs which local riverside life can be seen along the way.
The boat keeps on through the water way of Bangkok Noi canal and make the first stop at the Royal Barge Museum. See the eight spectacular boats used by Thailand’s Royal Family to mark special occasions. Carved from teak and intricately decorated with gold leaf and mosaics, the barges are a truly impressive site. Then proceed next on boat through Klong Bang Luang, and the boat emerges at Baan Silapin, a 100-year-old house that has been renovated and transformed into an art gallery. The gallery serves as a central gathering point for the community’s artisans. Spend time browsing the works of art on display and learn about Thailand’s modern arts scene. There may be time to take a short walk around the community and see the traditional houses that are lined up along the canal.
Transfer back to the hotel by a private vehicle. (L)
