Experience the slow life of the underwater city by the mystical river

A visit to "Old Somdet Temple" is often part of the boat tour through the underwater city of Sangkhlaburi, offering a relaxed and simple lifestyle by the serene river. Popular activities include boarding a boat from the Mon Bridge to enjoy the scenic views along both sides of the river, observing the homes of Mon and Karen communities, and visiting three temples as part of the program. Prices typically range from 300 baht per temple or 500 baht for all three temples. Upon reaching the shore, you’ll be greeted by adorable Karen children asking, "Would you like a guided walk?" Their charm and friendliness leave a lasting impression on visitors. While the temple may not be grand, the warmth of the local community makes the experience truly special. On the way up the hill, you’ll find large trees providing shade and streams along the path offering a refreshing touch. Visiting during the late afternoon with soft sunlight or early morning with a light mist enhances the atmosphere, truly living up to the name "underwater city."
