Bangkok Things to Do Tips by perseushermes

The River boat experience Chao Phraya River Review

The view along the Chao Phraya river is fantastic.
At least a cruise on the river - Bangkok Style.

You can board from Central Pier which is just under the Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Bridge. You can even called it a river-boat about 10 Baht (prices could have changed).

You can hop out anytime and catch the boat back to where you started.

Easily reachable by Sky Train.

Address: Saphan Taksin Stn., Bangkok

Directions: Easiest - get on a sky train and hop out at the Saphan Taksin Station.

The Palace..... must Grand Palace - Wat Phra Kaew Review

Its a sight that you'll never regret....

You can do the following
(1) Elect to have to get a guide. MAKE SURE you check the rate the guide charges, PER PERSON. Our guide told us initially - Baht 100 - to be our guide BUT we later found out it was Baht 100 PER PERSON.

(2) Not to have a guide. There is a Self Guide Tour audio facility which is near to the ticketing boot. It's about 10 steps away from where you buy your tickets. You only pay a Deposit of Baht100 and leave your Passport/credit card as security. And off you go.
I was there on my second visit to the palace and used the audio facility. It was fun and more informative then my first trip.

My advice - Do Get the Self guide.
Don't foget to take the River Boat too. Its an experience
