Chao Phraya River

Flowing through the heart of the city, it serves as a vital transportation route and a cultural hub. A boat ride along the river offers a unique perspective of Bangkok, allowing visitors to witness the juxtaposition of ancient temples and modern skyscrapers that line its banks. Passengers can hop on traditional long-tail boats or modern ferries to explore various attractions, including iconic temples like Wat Arun and Wat Pho, as well as the historic district of Thonburi. The Chao Phraya River is also the setting for many riverfront restaurants and hotels, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.
