 | |  |  | Bangkok's Canals - the Khlongs: The Khlongs of Thonburi | |  |  | |  |
While to the east of the Chao Phraya the khlongs have mainly disappeared and only a few narrow dirty sort of sewers are left, there are still areas in Thonburi (in the west of Bangkok), where you can get an impression how Bangkok used to be a hundred years ago. Khlong-tours by boat are offered at the piers near Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. They normally enter the khlongs at Khlong Bangkok Noi where the Barge Museum is located. There is a stop there and a few other stops at places that are not so exciting, like a snake farm (a rather poor enterprise). When you want to go on such a tour, don't pay too much. You can get a trip of 1 hour for 400 Baht, sometimes even less, with just you on the boat, but the price you will be asked in first place is probably more than 1000 Baht. So, haggle, haggle, haggle .... Leave a Comment
