    A cruise along Chao Phraya River at night is one of the best scenic river cruise in the world. Many interesting sights along Chao Phraya have been lit up and given you and opportunity to open up fresh vistas impossible to experience in the day time.

    At the Saphan Thaksin BTS (skytrain) stop, we hired a small long tailed boat to take us around the smaller klongs and along the Chao Phraya river. It cost around 800 baht for around 2 hours and the boat fit all 8 of us, so it was really quite cheap. The trip was nice, you see a different style of life along the river's edge. The smaller klongs are great to buzz along. The set trip takes you to a snake farm (they want 100 baht to get in - we just relaxed in the shade and bought fruit to eat from the local vendors). You continue on thru the klongs observing the interesting houses and other sites. Of course you are approached by vendors in boats selling beer and other drinks. We stopped at Wat Arun as well, and then he wanted to go on to Wat Pho. It was very pleasant as the wind off the water feels cool and it view of Bangkok is so different. We really enjoyed this.

  • Directions: You can hire these boats at many locations along the river. Ours left from the Saphan Thaksin area.

    Chao Phraya River is the lifeline of Bangkok. The original city, founded 200 years was located between a dramatic, sweeping curve of the river and an elegant klong (canal) built to meet it. Cruising along here you can see the Grand Palace complex, Wat Phra Keo (Temple of the Emerald Bhudda), and Chatuchak Park, where colorful weekend markets are held every Saturday. You can observe the interesting life that exists along the canals where you can pull into local shops on the river. .

  • The Chao Phraya River Cruise. The river cruise is a must see activity. It gives a different prespective of Bangkok at night. From the cruise you can see the Grand Palace and how wonderful it looks at night. Besides that, there are other things that you can see. You also get to pass about 4 bridges that go over the river. It is REALLY quite close to the boat. :)

    It has a mixture of tour boats, ferries and working craft all jockeying for position, many with a colourful garland of flowers dangling from the bow. Take the trip out of the city to the village areas and to see the floating markets. That's ladies in small boats paddling around selling various fruit and vegetables or cooked food, and other items, to the villagers who live on the river banks.
