Bang Phra Kru Canal Kayak Track

This 19 Km long kayak track brings you from Maha Rat district to Bang Phra Khru district in Ayutthaya Province.

The kayak track starts at Wat U Lom near the confluence of the Nong Mo and Bang Phra Khru canals with the Lopburi River. Khlong Bang Phra Khru splits off from the Lopburi River near Wat U Lom and runs more or less in eastern direction. The mouth of the canal at the confluence with the Pa Sak River is opposite Prasat Nakhon Luang.

The tour will take 4-5 hours according to your level of physical fitness, the conditions of the water current, and your personal kayaking experience. Travel time will expand if you stop to visit every highlight listed on this tour itinerary. This kayak track is off the city island of Ayutthaya and as thus requires transportation arrangements.

If you are interested in viewing photographs of the temples and other historic sites in advance or would like additional historic information about these ruins, visit the Ayutthaya Historical Research website at www.ayutthaya-history.com.

Tips and Warnings

General - Stock up supplies of water (500 ml/hr), electrolyte beverages (3-4 bottles) and dry food (take a snack every 2 hours) as there is hardly opportunity to find a meal on this itinerary. Keep up mobile communications with somebody for emergency cases and do know where you are exactly at all times. Protect your equipment with waterproof bags and tie everything to the boat.

Water currents - The most important variable for making kayaking plans is water current. Rainy season will result in flooding and/or rapidly moving water. In this case not every kayak is suitable. Use caution when the current is fast and wear a life jacket.

Clothing - Wear a good hat and loose-fitting clothing that dries quickly. Long pants and shirts with long sleeves may be useful and appropriate to protect you from the sun. The refracted sunlight from the water makes sunburn commonplace, so put on plenty of sun block on not covered parts of your body and wear sunglasses.
