About
What you will see in Khlong Mon is a glimpse of everyday life, as it must have been many years ago, with elderly monks in faded orange tunics and slow-moving people who still smile at you as they clean the fish they cook from there within minutes.
Houses on stilts wide open to the sun, flowered balconies, swings on the river and lots of real life, lots of wood and little cement, all very characteristic, if you want to see Bangkok with another eye, without horrible buildings and useless skyscrapers this is your trip.

Itinerary
- 1Once Bangkok was known as the "Venice of the East" because the city was built along the numerous waterways. Since then, many of the canals on the east side of the river have been filled, giving way to concrete and asphalt. On the west side of Thonburi, however, there are still traversable canals and they are excellent studies of how locals lived in the past. This excursion, with a long tail boat, takes you through its canals, locally known as Khlongs to explore the greenest and most peaceful part of Bangkok. Leave the city's hassle behind as you travel to the area where people live in houses on stilts and still travel by boat along the canals.

- moozieman0 contributionsGood yourThe Royal Palace area and buildings are quite spectacular. Wat Pho and the reclining Buddha is interesting. You need to take plenty of photos to capture it all.Written July 10, 2024
- A1953XMjohnb0 contributionsCheap methodIf you have plenty of time and little money bus 47 from democracy monument will take you to Klong Toey pier for 15baht but its a long ride. Everyone knows where you are going and will point you to the pier where a little boat will take you to the island bike shop for free. The bike guy pays the boatman for bringing you. 80baht gets you the boat trip, a bike, a bottle of water and a not very accurate map. Looong but brilliant day out but not for the faint hearted.Written June 15, 2020
