A really enjoyable experience from start to finish. We saw beautiful temples, local canals, and some hidden places that we probably wouldn’t have found by ourselves. It was relaxing, interesting, and a great way to experience Bangkok differently. Highly recommended!

We really liked this tour, actually more than the gran palace and temple tour. Anyway, it perfectly complements it. Thank you to Guitar, our guide for this boat tour. He was very kind, patient and informative the whole tour. He made sure we would have time to spend on what we wanted at the artist market. Guitar went above and beyond sharing info on where to find real handcraft souvenirs. Thank you Guitar!

We really enjoyed our Bangkok canal tour! It was a wonderful experience and a great way to see a different side of the city. Our guide Betty was amazing — very friendly, kind and helpful. She told us many interesting things about Bangkok and local life and made the whole tour fun and comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour and especially Betty as a guide. Thank you, Betty, for such a lovely day! ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions

SiamJourney Tour
The price does not cover food. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
