00:00We are now at Tha Tien Pier, right next to the famous Wat Pho and across the river is Wat Arun.

00:05Our destination is to go up north in Sa Thorn Pier.

00:09To get to Sa Thorn Pier from Tha Tien Pier, you need to take a boat ride heading up north

00:13along the Chao Phraya River. You can either go upstream or downstream

00:17or take a small river valley to cross the river.

00:20Let's go find a ticket seller!

00:21Once you find them, just let them know which boat ride you want.

00:24It's flat fare for the whole route, usually between 16 to 30 baht.

00:28My suggestion is Chao Phraya Express Boat or Thai Smile Boat.

00:32There are several flags that you can take. The differences between each flag

00:36are the stop and if they are air-conditioned boat or non-air-conditioned.

00:41Now that the boat is arriving, the staff will announce and call you to go down to the floating

00:46pier.

00:46Now, enjoy the view along the riverside and wait to get off at your destination

00:51without traffic jam and crutching shoulders on the train.
