Book this one if you want the canals without a boatload of strangers. It's a private longtail operation, sometimes just you and your driver, which is why it can slip into the narrow waterways the bigger tour boats can't manage. Riverside temples, old wooden houses, the modern skyline behind them. Reviewers mention monitor lizards, an orchid farm and kids feeding fish, and drivers who ease off the throttle when passengers are lining up a shot.
The standard run is about 90 minutes with photo stops along the way. It isn't the cheapest way onto the Chao Phraya, and nobody pretends it is. What you're paying for is the pace and the route. Evening trips get the lights on the water. Passing through the old locks eats up a chunk of time, so don't book anything tight afterwards. One reviewer got fireworks at the end, which is luck rather than itinerary.

Reviews from Google
You can get cheaper rides on the river but you won’t have the “experience” of this one. Enjoyed 1.5 hours on the river with lots of great shots of all the attractions. Driver was very experienced at driving the boat in the many waves to make sure we were safe but didn’t get in the way of the experience my wife and I had. He would slow down when he saw we were taking pictures. At the end we even had an unexpected fireworks display, don’t expect that every time but it was the cherry on top of a really unforgettable experience.
Our family had a really nice trip with them. We were only looking to drive a boat on the canals but got so much more. Very nice stops with plenty of photos. Kids enjoyed feeding the fish. Easy to get there. No need to worry about anything with kids.
We had a great time on this long boat it was truly fascinating. It does take quite a while to get through both locks but they are old. We went for the 1 hour and a half trip and we enjoyed every moment!
