    Chao Phraya River: Chao Phraya River and Canals
  • Tip Rating:
  • A visit to Bangkok would not be complete without a trip on the river. It gives you a different perspective of the city.

    I especially enjoyed the canals off the river,
    where people live right on the waters edge.
    Very serene and peaceful, nice break from
    the chaotic traffic in Bangkok.

     My granparents live in Bangkok during the winter months. I hope to see them there this year. We've got to go to Vertigo, that place looks awesome!

     Will probably have a stopover for a couple of days in Bangkok on my next trip to Europe so these have been very valuable tips for me. Thanks Anita!
