    Unforgettable day with Tiangtip 💕🤩

    "Unforgettable day in Bangkok with Tiangtip 🤩 We had such a wonderful and warm experience exploring Bangkok with Tiang! She took great care of us from start to finish and made our day truly special. The itinerary was fantastic: a peaceful boat tour through the local canals (khlongs), stops at beautiful and scenic spots, fun Tuktuk rides, and an amazing visit to a local market where we tasted delicious foods! Tiang is super friendly, attentive, and passionate about her city. We absolutely loved spending time with her. If you are visiting Bangkok, we highly recommend booking a tour with her ! it was simply perfect!"

    Really enjoyed our trip with Tuangtip!

    "My teenage daughter and I had a lovely morning riding the longtail boat through the canals with Tuangtip. She was so kind and thoughtful and we learnt so much from her. We visited temples and learnt about the customs and traditions, saw the golden Buddha, visited the artist house and made a bracelet, fed fish on the river, ate delicious fried banana from a stall, and rode a tuk tuk. Tuangtip took lots of photos for us which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this tour with Tuangtip!"

    A Bangkok highlight

    "My daughter and her boyfriend had Tuangtip as their guide in July: ‘We met Tuangtip at the train station, and the boat was located further down the road. The boat ride felt very safe and Tuangtip explained everything with much knowledge and a very good feeling for what we were interested in. She answered all our questions happily and gave us time to stop and watch the surrounding. We had a really great time and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip to Bangkok!’"

    Great family tour with Tuangtip

    "Tuangtip was super lovely and accommodated our family of 5 including kids ranging from 3-12 years last minute with a lovely local boat trip, visit at the artist house for ceramic painting, fish feeding and visiting a local temple. She then quickly changed the tuk tuk trip to visit a temple where the kids could feed turtles. Despite the heat and not wanting to go the kids really enjoyed the tour and it was definitely worthwhile and highly recommended. Tuangtip is very kind, knowledgeable and a great guide. We would highly recommend her! "

    Fun and flexible tour round Bangkok

    "We loved meeting Mrs Mod, who was enthusiastic and very friendly. She had a wealth of knowledge of all things Bangkok and we felt we had a good rootle round the back streets and off the beaten track. She was up against it with 2 very jet lagged customers but she pitched it at just the right level for us. We loved the long tailed boat trip around the canals, as well as the tuk tuk to the flower, and Chinese, markets. The flower market was a marvel of flower craft. The tour was quite expensive but we felt we had value for money. I would highly recommend Mrs Mod, and we will remember her for her knowledge, kindness and her infectious laugh. As well as for reciting the full name of the King! Thank you x"

Unforgettable Longtail Boat Tours in Bangkok

Glide through Bangkok's heart on a classic Longtail Boat Tour! Discover hidden canals (klongs) and vibrant life along the Chao Phraya River. A private Longtail Boat Tour is the ultimate Bangkok experience.

  • History of the Bangkok Longtail Boat

    Originally adapted from river boats, the Longtail Boat is a Thai icon. Its unique design, featuring a powerful car engine on a long pole, allows for incredible maneuverability in the city's shallow canals.

  • Cultural Longtail Tour: Life on the Klongs

    A Longtail Boat Tour offers a glimpse into a timeless way of life. Witness locals in stilt houses, kids playing by the water, and vendors in floating kitchens. It's a cultural immersion you cannot miss.

  • Iconic Sights on Your Longtail Boat Tour

    Cruise past stunning temples like Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) and see the majestic Grand Palace from a unique river perspective. A private Longtail Boat Tour can be customized to see the sights you want.

  • Floating Markets & Foodie Boat Tours

    Many Longtail Boat Tours visit a famous floating market like Damnoen Saduak. Imagine buying fresh mango sticky rice or boat noodles directly from a vendor's boat! A true foodie adventure awaits.

  • The Engine Roar of a Longtail Boat

    That iconic roar is a powerful, repurposed car engine! Expert captains masterfully navigate the 'ruea hang yao' using the propeller at the end of the long shaft as both power and rudder.
