Canal and River boat safety, Bangkok: 4 reviews and 3 photos
Ferries generally stop at piers where there are people waiting to get on or off - so, always be sure you are at the back of the boat, signifying your intention to alight - and BE QUICK! - the stop is fairly brief, the boat bounces off the pier on the tyre buffers, and you need to watch your footing, and jump on and off, to ensure safety.
Additional warning for when you are close to the back of the boat is the shrillness of the pierman's whistle! Maybe my hearing is overly sensitive!
