Experience Details

Leave the busy city and head to the peaceful countryside of Thonburi, a former capital of Thailand that still preserves traditional canal-side life.


Visit a local village and walk with your guide to a charming house where you’ll join a Thai cooking class. Learn to prepare authentic dishes using fresh, homegrown ingredients. After two hours of cooking, enjoy your homemade lunch under the trees.


Next, board a long-tail boat and cruise the canals to visit the impressive Wat Pak Nam. Continue by boat to Khlong Bang Luang to explore the Artist’s House, a creative space filled with local art and culture. Stroll the peaceful walkway, observe daily life, and make your own DIY souvenir.


End the day with a short walk to Wat Kuhasawan, where your driver will take you back to your hotel in Bangko

What You’ll Experience

1

Thonburi

Thonburi Village is a charming and historic area located on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Once the capital of Thailand before Bangkok, Thonburi retains a rich cultural heritage, with peaceful canals (klongs), traditional wooden houses, vibrant local markets, and ancient temples. Unlike the bustling city center, Thonburi offers a slower pace and a glimpse into the traditional Thai way of life. Visitors can enjoy boat tours through its waterways, visit landmarks like Wat Arun and the Artist’s House, and experience authentic local food and crafts in a more relaxed, community-centered setting. Arrive at the village and step out of the car, then follow our tour guide on a short walk through the local community to a charming traditional house. Your first activity of the day is to cook like a local! The host will have all the ingredients prepared, and you'll begin your Thai cooking class in a warm, welcoming home setting.

Wat Pak Nam

Wat Pak Nam Phasi Charoen is a revered Buddhist temple located in the Thonburi district of Bangkok. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and spiritual significance, the temple is a center for meditation and Thai Buddhist studies. One of its most striking features is the massive, gleaming golden Buddha statue that towers over the grounds, along with the modern, multi-story stupa (chedi) which houses a dazzling emerald-green glass pagoda inside. The temple beautifully blends traditional Thai architecture with contemporary elements, making it a unique and photogenic destination. Visitors can explore the serene grounds, admire the intricate artwork, and experience the calm, reflective environment that draws both worshippers and travelers alike.
45 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Khlong Bang Luang Artist House

The Artist's House (Baan Silapin) is a hidden cultural gem located along a quiet canal in the Thonburi district of Bangkok. Set in a restored 200-year-old wooden house, this charming space serves as a community art center where visitors can enjoy traditional Thai puppet shows, art exhibitions, local crafts, and creative workshops. Surrounded by old-world charm and peaceful canal views, the Artist's House offers a glimpse into Bangkok’s artistic and cultural heritage. It's a relaxing spot to explore, take photos, enjoy coffee by the water, and watch daily life unfold in a traditional neighborhood.
