The life-style of the Thai people has always been associated with waterways. With the coming of roads and tall commercial buildings, the view along Bangkok waterways has been constantly ch iging over the years.
Canal Boat Trip: The best time to make a canal boat trip would be around six o'clock in the morning in order to capture the authentic atmosphere and the varied activity which begins early in the day :Monks receiving alms, children hurrying to chool, and boats delivering vegetables from far s to markets.
Boat trips in the afternoon are best taken aft two p.m. to avoid the heat of the mid-day sun. Th traditional Thai lifestyle can still be found alc g several waterways such as the Daokanong, Ba khunthien and Lart canals. Here visitors can dis wer the more tranquil face of life in Bangkok.
A tour might begin with a visit to the National Museum of the Royal Barges, then to see the m, als at Wat Suwannaram. After that, go to see the Guanyin, feed the Swai fish (Pangasius foroleri), ar visit Sala Karnparian at Wat Shepakhao. Then go to Khlong Chakpra for lunch at Talingchan Flc ting Market. From there, go to the floating ubosot of of Wat Phigunthong. Finally, pay a visit to the Sukhothai ubosot in the old merchant ship Sumpaoshape at Wat Chalor.
