• Thonburi - Thonburi Village is a delightful and historic area situated on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Formerly the capital of Thailand before Bangkok, Thonburi boasts a rich cultural heritage, featuring tranquil canals (klongs), traditional wooden houses, lively local markets, and ancient temples. Unlike the bustling city center, Thonburi offers a more leisurely pace and a glimpse into the traditional Thai lifestyle. 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 relaxed, community-focused setting.

Upon arrival at the village, step out of the car and follow the tour guide on a short walk through the local community to a charming traditional house. The first activity of the day is to cook like a local! The host will have all the ingredients ready, and the Thai cooking class will begin in a warm, welcoming home environment.

• Wat Pak Nam - Wat Pak Nam Phasi Charoen is a respected Buddhist temple located in the Thonburi district of Bangkok. Renowned for its peaceful atmosphere and spiritual importance, the temple is a hub for meditation and Thai Buddhist studies. One of its most remarkable features is the enormous, gleaming golden Buddha statue that towers over the grounds, along with the modern, multi-story stupa (chedi) which houses a stunning emerald-green glass pagoda inside.

The temple beautifully combines 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 attracts both worshippers and travelers alike.

• Khlong Bang Luang Artist House - The Artist’s House (Baan Silapin) is a hidden cultural treasure 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.
