Bangkok Thailand Tour

All Thailand Experiences providing tours and soft adventures away from the normal tourist crowds.

Because of the traffic problem in Bangkok touring around by tour bus can be a trying experience as more time is spent in the bus than at the interesting sights. The best way to get around is by boat on the Chao Phraya river. Not only does it save time but the river is an important part of the city and many interesting cultural sights can be seen by boat.
