Chao Phraya River: Tour along Chao Phraya River

  • It's interesting to see a river running within a city. It's more interesting to see the people and the architecture on both sides of the river banks.

    You'll see the locals washing in the river, you'll be amazed by the huts, you'll be impressed by the view when you are approching Temple of Dawn...

    Don't miss it. Join a river tour or simply take a river taxi (a public ferry) to explore this lovely river.

  • Though there are lots of temples in Bangkok,
    each of them possesses different characters.
    I was greatly impressed by Wat Arun, its special location as well as the special design details of the constructions.

    Look carefully at the details of the decorations, you'll find that they are made of small colourful porcelain plates.... simple but beautiful!

    really impressed me!
