Bangkok may have lost its “Venice of the East” moniker when cars replaced rowboats, but life still thrives deep within its network of waterways. Take a canal tour to find a rapidly disappearing side of the city, and ask your longtail guide to take you to Baan Silapin, the Artist’s House.
The popularity of this 200-year-old wooden house and arts centre has reenergised the traditional community around it. Stick around until 2pm, when artists put on a Thai puppet show (every day except Wednesdays).
