Chao Phraya River Pier Guide
Bangkok Waterways
We compiled this guide to Bangkok waterways to highlight some of the most interesting piers found along the Chao Phraya River Express boat route. From temples and wet markets to unexpected enclaves, there's plenty to discover along the 21-km-long river.
Of the 5 lines that ply the water, the orange flag boat is your best bet as it operates all day. After the morning rush hour, boats come every 20 minutes until around 4pm when other lines kick into action, with boats appearing more frequently. If you're completely confused by the melee, another more comfortable option is the tourist boat, though these only come every 30 minutes.
