Hop on our time-travel boat and go back to 1960s Bangkok, where there were no busy roads or scooters.

Cruise past old houses and communities, check out the artist village with its cozy shops, and feel the peace along the waterways.

Don't miss the giant Buddha at "Wat Paknarm"—it'll surprise you as it pops up right in front of the boat. Join us for a simple and fun adventure exploring Bangkok from the water!

Please do yourself a favor and opt for Hidden Bangkok over the numerous other tourist boats you find along the river.

We reserved ahead and had friendly, personal correspondence with them before our tour. We received detailed instructions on how to find them (part of their charm is that they're off the beaten path. But they're close enough to Wat Arun to make it convenient to get to). We were greeted so warmly by the staff and Som, our tour guide.

She was so friendly, helpful and insightful throughout the tour! She walked us around the Artist Village and gave us a lot of valuable info about Thai customs, culture and history.

This tour was so much more personal and enjoyable than the big tours, and it costs about the same, so I promise you'll have a better time with Hidden Bangkok, and see things you wouldn't see otherwise.

Can't recommend them highly enough!

Amazing trip!

We came early to the meeting point and they gave us a traditional snack. All the crews are friendly and genuine.

Yoyo, as our guide, is very knowledgeable and he speaks excellent English. We can see that he's passionate in what he's doing.

I wouldn't know this side of Bangkok if I hadn't joined this tour. Truly an eye opener.

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. What a wonderful way to see a side of Bangkok that many tourists overlook. Seeing the beautiful houses from the canal was such a unique experience and a glimpse into the real Bangkok. The giant Buddha was a sight to behold and my tip is don’t eat a big breakfast before you go as we were treated to so much amazing food. Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Hidden Bangkok for a great morning- your love and passion for your city shines through!

I would highly consider reserving your seat on your personal long tail boat with Hidden Bangkok tours. This tour is the stress-free approach to learn about the historical canals that were the lifeline to the main district. I want to acknowledge Pear our tour guide for her knowledge and answering so many of our questions. She was a delight to accompany all of us and offered her services taking pictures of our tour. The boat staff was extremely hospitable helping my senior parents in and out of the long tail boat which made the transfers to the multiple stops with ease.
I would advise paying the extra fee for the guide to really get an appreciation for the history of one of the most historical waterways of Bangkok.
Thank you Hidden Bangkok Tours for a memorable trip

A peak into old Bangkok when the canals provided the main transport routes. Yo Yo our guide for the tour is incredible, other tourists were so impressed they interjected to ask how they could do the same tour. Yo Yo is very personable, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. His English is excellent and shares so much information about the social and political history of Bangkok and Thailand. We learned so much and at the same time it’s such a unique experience. I vote Yo Yo best tour guide 2024. Sincere thanks Yo Yo, Adam, Hugo and Andrea.

Very cool way to see different parts of the city! The seats were also very comfortable. Our tour guide was AMAZING! We learned a ton about the history and culture of Bangkok. LOVED getting out of the boat and seeing the Big Buddha! They provide water for you (but you can bring anything else on) and ponchos if it rains. Definitely recommend!

This tour was the highlight of our trip. I took my mum to Thailand for her first overseas trip and she has poor mobility so we needed to ensure whatever we did, it could accommodate my mums needs.
The workers on the tour - the tour guide, the driver - were so so lovely. Our tour guide was incredibly hospitable and kind. She endeavoured to ensure my mum was comfortable and regularly checked in to see if she was ok.
The tour itself was incredible. The thing we enjoyed most was learning about Thai history and culture and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Don’t look elsewhere- certainly book this one!!!
