Amazing
The Chao Phraya River is a beautiful river. and is the widest and longest in Bangkok and is an important river in the heart of the city. Traveling is very convenient. The view in the evening when the sun sets is even more beautiful.

Best way to see the sights
Great way to see the sights along the river. Very cheap and simple to use with around 13 different hop on hop off stations. Don’t expect perfect timekeeping mind! So sad to see the river so polluted with it absolutely teaming with plastic bottles, bags, dead fish, timber - can’t imagine there’s much life in there.

Cheap sightseeing trip
This time I used the Chao Phraya express ferry during sundown. I was going from Saphang Taksin to Wat Arun and later from there to the opposite side to the great palace. During that time the ships have an open deck and you can make pretty pictures. The tour is really interesting and you can see several of Bangkoks great sightseeings. The price of together 65 Bath is ridiculous cheap. I enjoyed this trip.

Chao Phraya from Sukhumvit with stop at Khaosan Road
From Sukhumvit area take BTS transfer at Siam and continue to Sampin Taksen. Take the public ferry, basically heading north. See the sights for 16 baht. Can’t beat it! Also it’s the only easy way to get to Khaosan road. Get off at Phra Arthur and it’s a ten minute walk.
