Chao Phraya River Public Boat

If youre going to visit the Grand Palace and other tourists attractions in the area by taking the public boat, be sure to ask if the boat you are taking is the one that will take you there. Otherwise, there's this confusing boat that takes people just to cross the river to the other side.Charge is 4 baht.

Unique Suggestions: Ask the tourist center for the right boat that will take you to the Grand Palace. Trip is 16 Baht per person to any destination. Or better get the 100 Baht Boat Trip All Day Pass to all destination roundtrip. You can get off at piers and see around then board the boat again to another pier. Boat at pier interval is 30 minutes.If youre going to Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) get off at Pier 9 and cross the river for 2 Baht.

Fun Alternatives: Better take the taxi from Saphan Taksin to the Grand Palace. Wat Po is just a walk away as well as the Royal Temple and other attractons.
