7.30 AM: The boat leaves from the pier. We’ll start the tour by taking a picture of the Giant Buddha with the canal’s view. The boat is running along Bangkok Yai canal, which is the historical canal in the old days. We’ll see the contrast in life along the river and local life.
Bangkok Yai canal used to be the main river, the previous Royal Palace (until King Rama IV) was located right at Bangkok Yai ‘s intersection. The royal family or high range governors has their own house next to the canal as it’s major transportation back then.

(ChaoPraya River that we see today was a man-made river, it’s dug for a shortcut purpose that links between canals/ rivers during Ayuthaya peiod in the 14 century. The current makes the river wider)

8.00 AM: Visit Luang Prasit House. This house has a historical value as it belongs to Luang Prasit, the high-range governor back in the time. The family kept well maintained of the house with the minimal change to keep the original design.

8.40 AM: We pop out at Chao Phraya river to take short cut to the Daokanong canal (Chao Praya was used as a shortcut to connect the canal back then)

10.00 AM: Visit Phoom Chai Garden, the old Lychee Orchard that’s now a coffee shop. We have a break here and enjoy the late morning.

Passing through Wat Sai Old Floating market. It’s used to be the most famous floating market in Bangkok. (now have only a few boats) It’s also used as a scene in “James Bond: The man with the golden gun”
