Drift To A Different Era Of Bangkok

Silence and music are appreciated only intermittently by us humans and the same goes when you are having the best vacation of your life in Bangkok. There will be times when you want to party like an animal and then there will be time when you want to get away from all that and venture into the ‘Venice of East’. For the latter, all you need to do is hop on a boat and enter into the local canal system that often makes you grateful for booking those cheap flight to Bangkok from UK right on time.

Spread all over the Chao Phraya River like stars on the night sky, the citywide canal system hold up to its image in terms of both sturdiness as well as aesthetics. The perfect way to commence this water-borne expedition will be by starting before sunrise. Get a seat in one of the local boats that will drop you at the ‘Temple of Dawn’, the Wat Arun. After watching the sunrise here you will feel like you have woken up from a very long slumber and that is when the actual excursion begins after your flights to Bangkok. 

After exploring other temples by the side of Thon Buri bank, you can paddle away to the inner canal system comprising of the smaller canals that open the gates of ancient Bangkok for you that somehow still remains the same as it was a century ago. You will witness kids getting on their ferries to school as you see the local postman handing out mails from yet another boat. Fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood and other daily essentials are sold right out of the boats as they are rowed from door to door. Cheap air ticket to Bangkok from UK will show a whole new side of this otherwise contemporary city that is no less whimsical than your favourite fable.
