The Chao Phraya River Trip
Travel to Thailand February 24th, 2010

The trip along Chao Phraya River is a very exciting and
enjoyable thing to do for visitors either in the day time or in
the evening with dinner served on the river cruise. The most famous area to start is from Royal Orchid Sheraton – Oriental – Shangri-La hotels. Of course the river cruise can be made
from hotels on the opposite side such as the Penninsular,
the Marriot and some others.
During the day, a trip can be made with small long-tail boat,
taxi boat (slower), and with group tour. Mostly, they take
tourists into Bangkok Noi and other canals where you can
see typical and a completely different life-style along the
canals. These scenes are the old way of living in the past
that people depended mostly upon river and canals transportation. Now, the front access is the modern roads,
but canals are still used a lot. Typical old houses, temples, shops, and the way people buy and sell things can still
be seen, especially when you visit the “Floating Market”,
such as Bangsai Floating Market, and Taling Chan.
