Highlights

Join this exciting 5-hour multi-boat tour featuring the famous 'James Bond boat' from the 007 movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. Cruise along Northern Bangkok's rural canals for an unforgettable experience seeing local life pass by, then feel the the excitement of a rocket-boat ride! Bangkok's canals have seen many types of boat over the years, but none as iconic as the James Bond boat, known locally for its role in 1974 Bond thriller. On this adventure, we'll blend cultural exploration with thrilling high-speed rides for your own Bond-like Bangkok experience. Experience a serene longtail boat cruise to Nonthaburi, unveiling rural canal life. Then, switch to rocket boats for an adrenaline-filled ride through narrow canals. Conclude with a relaxing Chao Phraya River express boat back to Chinatown. Along the way, you'll see local life by the canals, visit a community Buddhist temple, stop into a local market (depending on the day) and enjoy some tasty Thai snacks and refreshments.

Itinerary

  1. Our journey begins as a authentic longtail boat takes us on a relaxing cruise north to the town of Nonthaburi. Here, we enter a canal system unlike those found closer to the city. Peaceful scenes of rural canal life will transport you to a simpler, more innocent time, when the days passed slowly and the worries were few. After an hour, the appearance of rocket boats signals a dramatic change of pace for our tour. Instant thrills ensue as high speed maneuvering through narrow canals will bring out the inner child in all. Adrenalin rush complete, the more relaxing Chao Phraya River express boat takes us back to Chinatown.

About Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand's exuberant capital, where gilded temples and royal palaces line the river amid street-food stalls, markets and skyscrapers.

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, home of the revered Emerald Buddha, glitter on the old royal island of Rattanakosin. Next door, Wat Pho shelters a giant reclining Buddha and a famous school of Thai massage, and across the Chao Phraya River the porcelain-studded spires of Wat Arun glow at sunset.

Top-ranked sights in Bangkok: Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowarat), Grand Palace.
