The modern inhabitants of the old wooden trading houses these days sell artwork and vintage crafts as well as fish food for you to feed the abundant fish in the canal. Ply the Canals and the Chao Phraya River: After stowing the bikes in the back of a long tail boat, you and your guide wend your way down the ancient canals to Chao Phraya River.
