We will begin our adventure on the Chao Phraya River, home to some of Bangkok’s most note-worthy attractions. Start your day early and head to BTS Skytrain stop Saphan Taksin on the Silom line. Take exit two towards the Central Pier, otherwise known as the Sathon Bridge Pier. It is here you’ll want to purchase the Chao Phraya Tourist Boat pass. This pass costs ฿150 (about $4). You’ll then have unlimited access to hop on and off the boat as you please at any one of the eight stops.
The first stop on our trip is at the Maharaj Pier. Here you’ll find the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaeo, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Entrance into the complex is ฿400 (about $15), and you can also hire a guide to explore the grounds with who’ll give you a detailed rundown of everything on display.
