Exploring Bangkok by boat is a fantastic way to get a glimpse into the timeless charm of the city. You can experience the role of Bangkok's many waterways, which dates back to ancient times. With majestic sites and attractions lined up on both banks of the Chao Phraya River, getting around Bangkok by boat is a popular option among first-time travellers to the city. Bangkok's waterways are divided into 3 parts:

  • The main Chao Phraya River

  • Klong Saen Saeb - cuts across Bangkok city from east to west

  • Klongs of Thonburi - a network of canals on the opposite side of the river There are 6 main types of boats: River taxis (also called Express Boats), Long-tail boats, River-crossing ferry Canal boats, Private river cruise, Hotel shuttle boats. Long-tail boats are like tuk-tuks on water. These narrow yellow boats can be rented privately. You can negotiate the cost with the driver, but I highly recommend booking a tour for convenience. Sathorn Central Pier is directly in front of Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain Station, providing shuttles from riverside to the rest of the city. I usually like to go from Sathorn Pier and take a full tour of different klongs to see the temples along the river and the laidback lifestyle of people living on the water.
