Join me on a full and uncut virtual (16 km) tour in which we traverse Khlong Bangkok Yai, via the Chao Phraya River. Khlong Bangkok Yai is a historic Khlong (canal) in Bangkok, Thailand, and a significant cultural tourism site in the city. The canal passes through three districts, namely Bangkok Yai, Thon Buri, and Phasi Charoen.

*Several Buddhist temples and historic sites will be seen in this video, including Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen, known for its "Phra Buddha Dhammakāya Thepmongkhon", a 70m image of Buddha made of bronze, and Wichai Prasit Fort.

* Here is the link to my temple tour episode of Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen:

I've labeled points of interest and provided Google Map locations below.

Our trip starts from Jack's Bar ( a popular resto-bar for tourists and locals, known for its friendly staff, delicious Thai food, and scenic river view) in Charoen Krung 42/1 Alley, Bang Rak district. It is just a 7 min walk (470m) from BTS Saphan Takin Station (BTS SIlom Line). A 40 to 60min trip costs 1,200 THB ($37) per long-tail boat. Ideal for individuals, couples, families, or small groups of friends who prefer to tour privately and exclusively. Long-tail boats' passenger capacity varies from the boat's size, 6 -8 pax can be accommodated per trip. Life vests are provided for passengers. Btw, trips to other locations along the Chao Phraya River (Wat Arun etc) are also available.

Boat service is available from 7:30am to 5:00pm. if you want to reserve in advance, you can send a PM to Jack's bar Facebook page listed below.

Special thanks to the kind owners and staff of Jack's Bar for assisting me on this awesome trip, without which I couldn't have created this episode.
