Reviews
A much more relaxing way to explore the city on a traditional longtail boat, which is owned by a local, and with the help of the guide, they shared their own stories which helped to provide a real local experience. After the boat, we were taken to the enchanting Grand Palace and learnt more about the Buddhism.
As a solo traveler, I really enjoyed seeing an alternative area of the city, away from all the crowds, with real local people.
