There is an important river flowing in Bangkok, that is, the Chao Phraya River, which runs through the city of Bangkok, Thailand, and is lined with the Grand Palace and many Buddhist temple buildings, forming a strange and beautiful scenery. Therefore, many people travel to Bangkok and choose to take a boat to visit the Chao Phraya River, which has become a must-see experience when coming to Bangkok.
There are roughly two types of boat tours in Bangkok, one is similar to water transportation, there are bus boats, shuttle boats, long-tail boats and hotel shuttle ferries, and the other is a luxury cruise ship night cruise on the Chao Phraya River, and here we will mention several of their famous cruise ships, namely the Grand Pearl, the Brilliant Pearl, the Magnolia, and Chao Phraya.
This time, I took a cruise on Shangri-La in Bangkok, about 10 people a boat, which will take us to the famous landmarks on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, such as Wat Arun, the Grand Palace, and the VIII King Bridge, so that we can take in these historical places one by one, and let us appreciate the famous customs of Thailand from different angles. Unlike those big cruise ships, our boat will also go to the side of the small channel, passing by many Thai houses, to experience the most down-to-earth and most fireworks Thai residents' life.
However, not every hotel has a cruise, so if you are staying in a hotel that does not have a cruise, but you really want to experience this way of sightseeing, I think you can still experience Bangkok's bus boat system, which is the city's best transportation option.
There are a variety of boats that travel on the river:
