The Chao Phraya River Trip The trip along Chao Phraya River is a very exciting and enjoyable thing to do for visitors either in the day time or in the evening with dinner served on the river cruise. The most famous area to start is from Royal Orchid Sheraton - Oriental - Shangri-La hotels. Of course the river cruise can be made from hotels on the opposite side such as the Penninsular,the Marriot and some others. During the day, a trip can be made with small long-tail boat taxi boat (slower), and with group tour. Mostly, they take tourists into Bangkok Noi and other canals where you can see typical and a completely different life-style along the canals. These scenes are the old way of living in the past that people depended mostly upon river and canals transportation. Now, the front access is the modern roads, but canals are still used a lot. Typical old houses, temples, shops and the way people buy and sell things can still be seen, especially when you visit the "Floating Market", such as Bangsai Floating Market, and Taling Chan Location Map GPS : 13.7296281,100.5085871 ![]() The Chao Phraya River Trip (Continued) Trip into Khlongs (Canals) Canals Trip VDO ![]() Thonburi Snake Farm The Royal Barges Museum The Bridges of Bangkok The Riverside Restaurants The Riverside Hotels Trips Along the River Map of Chao Phraya River & Canals ![]() The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Bangkok For more than 130 years distinguished travelers have followed the legendary Chao Phraya River, through the heart of Bangkok, to the doors of one of the world’s most luxurious hotels, Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok.
