Bangkok Hangover: Chao Phraya River Tour
6:50 AMYou're standing in front of your hotel. You're waiting for a taxi to take you to the Grand Palace when one of the standby drivers suggests you take a 30-minute river boat to the Grand Palace. He says it's a much better trip. He even offered to take you to the port for just 50 Baht. Do you:
a) Shrug off the driver and think it's all a scam
b) Ask some more questions then agree
Maybe some of you picked choice a and some of you picked choice b. Based on this entry's title, it's obvious we picked B.
Our reasons are:
a) We think it's better to see temples around the river than buildings
b) We were feeling a bit adventurous
c) We had some time to spare.
And so, the boat ride begins..
Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) |
After alighting from the boat, we felt we made the right choice.
Fees:
50Baht - taxi ride
500Baht per person - boat rental
20 Baht - Wat Arun entrance
30 Baht - Grand Palace port fee
If you're looking for a taxi contact, we recommend our taxi driver. He's polite and very accommodating.
