suds,
See today's thread on first time klong tours. Maybe it will help. We were two couples and paid 1000 Baht (for all of us) for 2 hours in November at the beginning of the Loi Krathong festival so don't know if prices fluctuate. Whatever you do will be a really unusual experience that you'll enjoy.

Hi suds,
Have a great time! We just returned from BKK, also first-time visitors, and I wrote a report about our trip. See "Just back: report from beachside resort, Part I, and BKK, Part II, written on 1/1 and 1/2/06. In the BKK section, I wrote a piece about our experience with hiring a private klong ride. You will then have a sense of the "going rates" as well as "consumer beware" risk!
What we ended up paying for a klong ride was the same as 123Go's experience in November, but if you have not done your homework ahead of time, you can be taken for a "ride," literally and figuratively! Please refer to my report.

i think the rock bottom rate is 400 B per hour per boat...lately i have seen reports of 500 to 800 B per hour....one person even reported 1000B per person per trip...
i think that if you planned on 1000-1200 B for a 2 hour trip you would be spot on....it is worth 3 times that amount....don't miss it....great viewing, great education, and fabulous picture taking, plus a nice restful adventure....
