Day on the Tourist Boat

Posted in Chao Phraya, Thailand, tour Bangkok, tourist boat by expatheather on January 6, 2009

Today I took the Chao Phraya Tourist Boat for 120 baht ($3.40). For that price, I was able to hop on and off the boat traveling back and forth between about a dozen piers for the whole day. The cool river breezes were a great way to get out of the midday heat, and there were so many things to see I only managed to do about half of the main sights! If you’re in Bangkok, this is a great way to see the city, especially because the Skytrain (BTS) and the Underground (MRT) don’t have stops along the river.
