What started as simple curiosity turned into one of our favorite experiences in Bangkok 🇹đź‡đźš¤
From our place near Pratunam, April and I kept watching these long, narrow boats flying up and down the canal behind our building. We saw locals hopping on and off like it was completely normal — so we decided to try it ourselves.
In this video, we ride Bangkok’s famous khlong boat (canal boat) to see where it goes and find out if this is really how locals commute across the city. No BTS. No Grab. No taxi. Just us, a few baht, and a fast-moving water taxi cutting through Bangkok traffic.
If you're visiting Bangkok and want to:
• Travel like a local
• Avoid traffic
• Save money
• See a different side of the city
This might be one of the best transportation hacks in Bangkok.
We’ll show you:
âś… How much the canal boat costs
âś… Where to buy tickets
âś… What to expect on board
âś… Tips for first-time riders
âś… Why this might be the fastest way across the city
Bangkok is more than temples and street food — sometimes the adventure is in the commute.
