We started with German language tours and excursions more than five years ago. We considered how the implementation could be made more authentic in terms of content than the competitors. Wherever you look at tour offers in Bangkok, the contents are almost all interchangeable. No matter in which language they are carried out.
The idea was to design better tours and excursions for you. With more intense experiences and less crowded tourist destinations. So with a more enjoyable tour experience for our guests at the end.
. . . now, we have understood Bangkok and Thailand a little better !
Our guests should not only be able to tell their friends at home after their stay: ". . . we were in Bangkok". They should be able to explain with a clear conscience: ". . . we have understood Bangkok and Thailand a little better ! This experience is usually only possible with the support of a qualified tour guide, which can only be found at an agency with high standards.
We were able to successfully achieve this result for our entire tour portfolio, which is confirmed by many enthusiastic reviews and positive entries at «Tripadvisor».
Thus also for our Canal tours offered in Bangkok. Because the Canal are an inseparable part of the Siamese culture.
Unfortunately, almost all of the many Canal tours offered in Bangkok are - from our point of view - still without any great experience for their participants.
the «speeding» Canal tour
You race through wide channels in an uncomfortable Longtail boat at its highest possible speed ("time is money") and have a roaring truck engine in your back. This alone brings disappointment and annoyance for the participants, but it only becomes clear to them at the end. As a tourist you can hardly get any impressions on such a "raging canal tour".
Why? For the boatman, the clong has become a daily monotony. He knows no other cultures in the world. I don't know what his guests from foreign countries are interested in. Doesn't speak any other language besides Thai to be able to communicate with you. He will not be able to explain what you see or answer your questions. On the other hand, due to the loudness of the engine, nobody would understand anything, even if a loudspeaker system were in the longtail boat.
At the end of such a canal tour, the participants are probably not unjustified enough to get the feeling that they have messed up their paid - not low - salary. But where do you want to complain? You don't even know the name of this "gondolier"....
As a result of this fact, the canal tours in Bangkok has repeatedly received a lot of negative ratings in the Internet self and his forums.
You have all obviously booked the "wrong" Canal tour !
We believe that this negative experience can be missed!
That's why we first put ourselves in a Longtail boat. For better understand this problem. And at the same time, we can choose Canals for you, which are authentic and visually interesting. Which therefore have an experience value for you and leave a lasting, positive memory of a canal tour in Bangkok.
When we got out of the longtail boat after these excursions, our backs aches at first.
No wonder, then, if you sit alone for a long time on hard, unpadded wooden boards.
In addition, in a uncomfortable squatting position for larger Western Europeans, about 30 cm above the floor.
from this - «Our beautiful canal tour» was born . . .
All these experiences led to a final decision: not only to offer you authentic experiences on our Canal tours. But to make these possible also on comfortable and upholstered seats in beautiful boats. Our philosophy thereby: "Decelerated and comfortable".
We bought for you historical canal boats in the Siamese style made of teak wood, to restore and modernize them carefully. We installed modern and environmentally friendly engines, a hydraulic steering system as well as new electronics and, in addition to many other details, comfortable upholstered seats.
We now offer canal tours with our own boats and of course we employ our own boat captains. In contrast to the anonymous Longtail boat "racers", they are trained by us and know what our English-speaking guests want.
In addition, our English-speaking guide on each boat not only explains what you see on the left and right, but also coordinates and controls all processes on the canal boat - in the spirit of your positive Canal Tour experience.
Auf Grund dieser optimierten und intensivierten Abläufe konnten wir unsere Klongtouren auch problemlos nach DIN ISO 9001:2015 zertifizieren. Um dieses Niveau zu halten, muss übrigens jeder Guide am Ende jeder Klongtour einen Berichtsbogen ausfüllen, der zurück ins Office zur Auswertung kommt.
Alle diese Überlegungen und unser aktives Handeln kommen Ihnen, unseren anspruchsvollen Gästen im Rahmen der hier angebotenen schönen und authentischen Klongtouren in Bangkok, heute zu Gute.
